We are so excited to have you on board for the golden balloon project. This project brings together people from literally all over the world in a playful way. With performances in over 100 countries, this project keeps growing and growing.
Please use simple straws to blow up the balloons. After blowing up thousands and thousands of balloons using different methods, using straws showed to be the most reliable and fastest way. Using a pump makes them explode pretty quickly.
You can just push the straw deep inside, and it will work like a charm. The balloons seal themselves automagically.
If a balloon breaks, you can usually fix it with tape. Some of the most sensitive letters are E and R. In the worst case, if a balloon is broken beyond fixing, please try to make another word with the balloons left.
There is no deadline for the project. The project will continue until it was performed in all countries of the world, and potentially longer. However, if possible, please try to finish the performance within 1-2 weeks upon receiving the balloons.
