Balloon Arrow Puzzle
The Balloon arrow puzzle is a free board whose arrow-lines are woven into the shape of a Balloon; you clear it by sliding every line off the edge of the board in the right order. A round balloon on a little knot and string; the string is the tail you tug out last. In this free online puzzle the Balloon (one of the objects) is built from interlocking arrow-lines that fill every cell. Tap an arrow whose straight lane to the edge is clear and the whole line slides off, then keep clearing in the right order until every arrow has escaped the board.

How to play the Balloon puzzle
- Each arrow-line ends in a head that points the one way it can leave the board.
- Tap a line whose straight path to the edge is completely clear — the whole line slides off.
- Every line that leaves opens a lane for the ones trapped behind it, so the order you choose is the real puzzle.
- Tapping a blocked line bumps it and costs a heart, so read the lanes before you tap. Clear them all to win.
About the Balloon shape
The Balloon is one of Arrow Puzzle's 11 objects. Here it plays as a standalone, medium-hard board — the arrows weave through the Balloon and you free them one line at a time, in the only order that works. Clear it once and the Balloon is saved to your Shape Book; you can replay it whenever you like, and each board is freshly generated so the path out is never quite the same twice.
How to clear the Balloon
Objects are made of two or three parts. On the Balloon, clear the small outlying piece first — a stem, a string, a fin — to open the lane into the main body, then work inward until the board is empty.
It plays like an arrow maze: the lines weave through each other without ever crossing, and the only way out is to read the lanes and pull them in the right order. Stuck? Restart for a fresh Balloon board, or warm up on the gentler boards in Arrow Escape.
Balloon arrow puzzle FAQ
How do you solve the Balloon arrow puzzle?
Find an arrow on the Balloon whose straight path to the edge of the board is empty, and tap it — the whole line slides off, opening lanes for the lines behind it. Work through the board in that order until every arrow has escaped. Tapping a blocked line costs a heart, so read the lanes first.
Is the Balloon arrow puzzle always solvable?
Yes. Every Balloon board is generated so there is always a valid order that clears it — no dead ends, just the puzzle of finding the order.
Does clearing the Balloon unlock it in my Shape Book?
It does. Clear the Balloon once and it lights up in your Shape Book, a collection saved in your browser so you can come back and complete the whole set of shapes.
What does the finished Balloon look like?
The arrows are arranged into the shape of the Balloon, so the whole board reads as a Balloon picture. As you clear the lines in order, the Balloon slides apart piece by piece until the board is empty — and the picture is saved to your Shape Book.
Is Arrow Puzzle free to play?
Yes — every shape, level and daily board is completely free. It runs in your browser with no download and no sign-up, on phone, tablet or desktop.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Arrow Puzzle is a web game that loads instantly in any modern browser, and it keeps working offline once the page has opened — nothing to download.
Can I play Arrow Puzzle unblocked at school or work?
Yes. Because it runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install, Arrow Puzzle works as an unblocked game anywhere a browser is allowed — no plugins, no app store.
Does it work on mobile and PC?
Both. The board scales to your screen, so it plays the same on a phone, tablet or desktop PC — tap or click an arrow to slide its line off the board.
Are the puzzles always solvable?
Always. Every board is generated and checked so there is at least one valid order that clears it — there are no dead ends, only the challenge of finding the order.
