Hot potato and tag merged into a single rule, for one to four people on one screen. Whoever holds the balloon has to reach somebody else and bump into them. Whoever is holding it when it pops is out. Last one standing takes the round, and first to two takes the match.

The chase is meant to be winnable. Whoever holds the balloon moves faster than everyone else, the fuse gets shorter the longer one balloon stays in play, and a balloon that has just changed hands cannot go straight back. The balloon is the timer: it grows as the fuse burns down, so it is full size on the frame it pops and never before.

Upright, two seats sit at each end and the far end's words are turned for whoever is reading them. Turn the screen sideways and the whole table rotates so every word is upright.

No ads, no account, and nothing is stored on your device.


HOW TO PLAY

Touch a corner on the title to take it, then push with your thumb: the stick appears wherever your thumb lands and follows it. Bump into somebody to pass the balloon on.

On a keyboard, one can use a mouse, or four sets of keys can drive the four corners: W A S D, T F G H, I J K L and the arrows, each matching where its character sits on screen. Press your corner's keys to join, or click your corner if using a mouse.
