How To Join Balloon Pop in Adopt Me

The Balloon Pop game is in the circus tent at the Summer State Fair. Go to the tent and stand inside. Getting inside means you’re waiting for the next game to start. Every 16 to 20 minutes, the queue clears out and new players can wait their turn.

How To Play Balloon Pop in Adopt Me

When you start the minigame, you’ll get a pogo stick with a spike at the end. You’ll also be put on a team (blue or red). But even though you’re on a team, you earn points on your own.

In the game, your job is to jump on balloons that are the same color as your character. Every time you jump and pop a balloon, you get 2 points and jump higher. If you land on another balloon of the same color without touching the ground, you’ll get a bonus point for each subsequent balloon you pop, up to a maximum of 3 extra points per balloon (adding up to 5 points total). If you touch the ground, the bonus points go back to zero.

Sometimes, you’ll see special golden balloons. If you pop one of these balloons, you get 10 points, which is a lot. Try to pop these balloons to get more points.

The short game goes on for 1 minute and 30 seconds. At the end, the points you get turn into tickets that you can use to buy special summer fair stuff like pets, toys, and strollers.

Best Strategy For Balloon Pop

Remember, when you pop balloons of your color, you get points. But if you want the most points, focus on popping the golden balloons. They give you the most points, 10 each, and going after them will help you get the most points before time runs out.

Regular balloons give you 2 points each but they don’t stay in the air for long. Try to pop the golden balloons first whenever you can. You’re pretty much going to give up combos for these golden balloons, a guaranteed 10 points will always be worth it.
