Spoon Balloon

Description

Spoon Balloon is a rip roaring fun game appropriate for all ages.

Goal/Gameplay

Spoon Balloon can be played with any amount of players. The game is ideally played at any party, event, or gathering that has balloons (preferably ones none of the players paid for) filled with lighter than air gases.

Players first gather an amount of balloons and locate and object to tie to them (preferably a plastic 1 tablespoon measuring tool. Other objects can be used, but it is highly discouraged and will likely not result in maximum enjoyment of the game).

Once an amount of balloons have been secured, players will now tie the object (the spoon) to the string of the balloon(s).

The object will either be too heavy or too light, so players will proceed to add/remove balloons and various other weighted objects (note you CANNOT tie additional objects to the bottom of the string, but you CAN cut and tie them within the length of the string).

The overall goal of the game is to achieve equilibrium/harmony of balloon and object where both do not rise or fall, but rather hover idly with one another, this is to say that the balloon and object never touch the ground, nor the ceiling, indefinitely.

When the balloon and object achieve such a relationship of peace, friendship, and harmony all players will run outside and shout "SPOON BALLOON!" to notify any neighboring lifeforms you all have achieved true self actualization (DO NOT prematurely shout "SPOON BALLOON!", you MUST be sure you have achieved the goal).

Bonus/High Skill Play

Advanced players may seek to go for a "Spoon Gallop", this is where the weighting and environment of the balloon and object cause it to rise and fall in a cadence, but still NEVER touch the ceiling or ground indefinitely.

Post Gameplay

In ideal post gameplay the harmonious union of spoon and balloon is celebrated by allowing the contraption hover around the hosts house until equilibrium and harmony is lost over the course of the coming days/weeks/months.
