# Setting up Balloon Pop

If you've read our [Setting up Scratch Cards](/competition-docs/minigames/view-minigames/setting-up-scratch-cards.md) article then you will see a lot of parallels between that and this article.\
\
You may only need to read one of these articles to understand how to operate both of them but in this article we will show you how the Balloon Pop game mode works from a customer perspective aswell as how to set it up.

If the customer has multiple tickets into a Balloon Pop Competition it will automatically pop balloons.

#### Get started with Balloon Pop <a href="#get-started-with-slot-machine" id="get-started-with-slot-machine"></a>

Setup an Instant Prize Competition as usual and then scroll under the Featured image to find the Minigames widget.

Select the Balloon Pop Game and save the competition. Once you have done that, every ticket purchased will give customers a go at the Balloon Pop Game.

#### How does it work? <a href="#how-does-it-work" id="how-does-it-work"></a>

The Balloon Pop game & all minigame modes integrate with the Instant Prizes to provide a visual overlay that is more interactive than the original instant wins. When someone purchases a ticket they will see a button after Checkout aswell as on the Balloon Pop game activated competition above the Add to Cart button where they can open a Popup.
