What it is
Strings of lights twinkle over the rooftops while balloons and paper lanterns rise into the evening sky, each carrying a word, a number or an expression. Read or listen to the question, then tap the right balloon to pop it into a sparkle of fireworks. A wrong balloon just wobbles and floats on, and balloons that drift away always come back later. There is no timer and no way to lose.
