{{Item/Group|Balloons|5}} are an item in '''''Merge Mansion'''''.  They are used in the [[Valentine's Day]] [[Events|Event]] of 2022.

==Gameplay Tips==
*{{Item|Balloons|1}} are dropped by {{Item|Gift Pouch|3}}
*{{Item|Balloons|4}} can drop a maximum of 14 {{Item|Balloons|1}}, then will revert to a {{Item|Balloons|3}}. However, this is enough to make 2 more {{Item|Balloons|4}}, effectively making balloon generation infinite.
*Merging {{Item|Balloons|4}} after 13 taps each is the most efficient way to make {{Item|Balloons|5}} (and thus {{Item/nolevel|Cinema|Closed}}).
*{{Item|Balloons|4}} will drop 7 {{Item|Balloons|1}} immediately before needing to recharge, so a faster way to make {{Item|Balloons|5}} is to collect 14 (from 2) and then merge them while they are recharging.
*Balloons are a requirement to fullfil some tasks.
*{{Item|Balloons|5}} will charge up and then drop a {{Item/nolevel|Cinema|Closed}} when tapped and disappear.

===Cobwebs===
*Cobwebbed {{Item/Group|Balloons|1}} only appears during the start of the Event, while opening up the Event Board.
*Don't dust the Cobwebbed {{Item/Group|Balloons|1}} you get in the beginning of the Event (even if they seem annoying). It is a waste of {{Gems}}[[Gems]] and you will have them cleared soon anyways.   Not listed {{Item/Group|Balloons|1}} do not appear.

==Story==
{{Item/Icon|Balloons|5}} Takes 30 minutes to get to the Movie Theater.
