Abstract
A game device for bursting balloons with pressurized water over the players participating in the game. A plurality of balloons are suspendedly mounted over each player with the balloons being connected via water valves to a source of pressurized water. A separate water valve is provided for each player to direct pressurized water into the balloons suspended over the other players. Operation of each valve directs a small amount of water into the opposing players' balloons resulting in the eventual bursting of the balloons.

A game device for bursting a balloon by pressurized water above any one of the players playing the game comprising:
- a stand including a base and a plurality of outwardly extending arms, each spaced a distance upwardly from said base defining player areas located beneath and substantially vertically aligned with each of said arms;
- a water inlet connection on said stand connectible to a source of pressurized water;
- a plurality of water outlets each located on a separate one of said arms and having surfaces to which balloons may be mounted above said player areas to receive pressurized water, said stand including passageways leading from said outlets toward said water inlet connections;
- and
- valve means on said stand and operably disposed between said water inlet connection and said outlets to controllably direct pressurized water through said passageways and burst at least one of said balloons.
A water toy comprising:
- a post with a bottom end and a top end;
- a plurality of player seats connected to said bottom end of said post and extending outwardly therefrom;
- a plurality of arms connected to said top end of said post and extending outwardly therefrom over said seats;
