Almost everyone loves a birthday, as long as I don’t have to feign a smile whilst everyone sings a cringeworthy rendition of ‘happy birthday’.

There’s usually cake though, and cake makes everything better.

Travelstart Flights, Africa’s premier online travel booking website, is celebrating their 10th birthday this month – and whilst there isn’t any cake there is R100 000 worth of prizes to give away to those who can pop a few balloons.

Better yet you don’t even have to leave your desk to win, because you can play the Balloon Beach game right here.

A little overview of how it all works from their site:

1. Keep the clock going by popping as many balloons as you can before they float away!

2. Every player has a chance to win one of the random spot prizes, including brand new Sony Xperia™ XA phones, domestic flights or flight vouchers!

3. Every player will also go on to our leaderboard to win one of our grand prizes, including a trip to Mauritius with SAA and Club Med, flights to Mozambique or a Sony Xperia™ XA.

4. Not happy with your score? Share the competition page on social media for another chance to play! T&Cs apply.

They’ll also be running flight specials announced daily – be sure to keep checking in HERE so you don’t miss out on the action.

Happy balloon popping, grumpy cat.
