Ok so maybe I am missing something but I don't see any rewards. Anyone have any luck with this? Thanks.

I think you have to expand there and then you'll get a reward

I saw the balloons thing and luckily was close to starting a 2mil expansion. I just started it. The reward wasn't given at the beginning of the expansion process (unless I somehow did it incorrectly!).

Ha! Maybe the reward is different if your balloons are higher in the sky? I hope so... 100XP is about the least useful thing I can think of :p

I don't get it. I'm in the process of expansion and it will finish in 14 hours. This was before the balloons. Will the expansion count towards the balloons?

No reward upon finish expansion, only reward upon start a new expansion

I don't have the lowest 2 balloons as my hotel already expanded there and I have no way to claim back these rewards.

I find TL really like to give penalties to early beginners. The late goals of adding soulmates and babies are good example and also these balloons. Someone may say these rewards may not be very attractive, but here I am talking about equality. Not to mention different gem pricing of pet rooms/fun rooms and different expansion time etc.

Games are supposed to bring fun. Now I feel penalized. I hope GM or some TL staff can clarify this time.

I expanded into one of the balloons, and I got the spelunking cave. (free + 10 coins to decorate, available immediately)

Good for you! I clicked the highest balloon that the expansion could touch ($6,000,000/3 days) and got absolutely nothing. :(

I expanded (3,000,000.00 ) and hit a balloon, and my pop up did not give me any coins. After seeing Lauras post I went and check and my Spelunking cave is now unlocked!!

I feel the same way..players who have invested a lot of time, effort and gems to progress their hotels are disadvantaged by the late goals and now, with fewer balloons than other players. I dont understand how discriminating the bigger hotels and bolstering the smaller hotels 'helps the game's economy and make it enjoyable for older and new players'.

I was fortunate to get 4 balloons, which is quite good considering how far I' e come. Honestly, neither coins or XP means anything to me but it's more about the special rooms we get to unlock. As long as I'm not missing out on that, I'mm still be happy. There's nothing worst than unlocked rooms/recipes that will stay unlocked indefinite because we missed the train.

Well I only got 3 balloons.... If others got 4 I think that's unfair.... I still have to wait till my next expansion that will be 4 mil to reach the ballon

I got five balloons but that's because I'm behind in the expansion department. Are people getting more than five balloons?

I cant agree more this game is so annoying now i cant do anything. If i expand then later have expand goal i need longer time. If i buy soulmate or baby and later have goal and retroactive i need to rebuild everything again
If i dont expand i cannot have space for new pet room

You see not much people talk about this game anymore

No fun and nothing to do and i already tell my nbr dont need to party me too, cause that 20$ is not much compare with $250 i got in dragon

Same here, no pet shop story goal in my main account.....
And not only!
After the introduction of balloons I've done two expansions, the last one for 6 millions and in both cases right on the balloons places. Well ......... I've got no thing at all

I just did the 1,500,000 expansion and got my first ballon, it gave me 0$ and 109xp I think every time you hit a baloon the reward gets bigger, it didn't have to do with how much it costs

Are you sure that you hit the balloon? I think you have to completely cover the balloon icon with the new building part. It doesn't seem to count if the balloon is just hitting the roof of the building.

(just speculating here, not saying that you are wrong. Not an attack.)

My first balloon only gave me 700 xp where is the room and it'll be forever until I get another becaus emu expansions cost a lot and I have to go more than 5 expansions till I get anothe one

Well not totally sure, but the balloon was hitting the top of the roof, so I expanded there and the balloon moved to the top of that expansion. I expanded there a second time and now the balloon is gone. (And I have a funny tower on the right side of my hotel :) The second expansion is still in progress and I haven't seen any reward. Do you get it after the expansion is finished?

Also, I used to have five balloons. I expanded into one of them as described above, and now I only have three balloons.

What are the rewards everyone has received? Maybe I've received one without realizing it? But I have had no notices of any rewards so far.

Thanks for any help!

Same here I believe. I have covered all but one of the balloons with expansions, and have received no rewards.

For those of you who received rewards, was there a pop-up informing you of the reward? If so, when did you get the pop-up -- after the expansion was completely built?

Thanks in advance for any info!

07-16-12, 10:42 PM
How many balloons did you guys started out? If you didn't get the room that means you had expanded the section where the cave should have been. There's nothing you can do unless TL finds another way for you to unlock it. =(

Go to the market, select pet rooms, and the cave should be at the end for 0 coins. It will cost 10 coins to decorate after you place it.

Coins and XP are the other rewards. The amount you get of each varies.

I've emailed the TeamLava Support because I don't get the reward for reaching the balloons. It's frustrating. I think they are trying to look into it. If you have the same problem, contact them...if they know that there is a problem, they can fix it hopefully. Have FUN!

Hi Folks, Just want to everyone. I've hit about 3 balloons without ANY REWARD. I've emailed the LavaTeam Support. They said they referred it to engineering. I've heard NOTHING since. I wish they would just take away the balloons and the pop-up that says to 'build here to claim a reward'. It's sloppy to have the balloons that indicate a reward and NOT provide a reward.

I do enjoy the game and have great neighbors. so I just accept the fact that the programming for the balloons is quirky. It's obviously not an issue for them, so I'm not going to haunt them. As I said, I like the game and the LavaTeam support responded quickly, but could not 'fix it'.

And, Yes I've re-installed the game about 5 times and am using IOS 6 on my iPad. Have fun!
