Balloon Rally
A free live quiz game for the classroom
A race into the sky. Right answers open clouds, and each cloud lifts the pupil's balloon towards the airship.
The class board during a game of Balloon Rally.
How a round plays
- A right answer opens three clouds. The pupil taps one and flies up 5 to 25 metres.
- Streaks add extra height. A wrong answer still lifts the balloon 2 metres.
- The airship's height is set by the length of the game, so a short game is a short race.
- The first to the airship wins. Pupils who get there early keep flying until the timer ends.
On the board: One tall sky with every pupil's balloon and the airship's finish line.
