A mash race to pop the bubble — fastest to flat takes it.
A balloon needs stomping flat, and every press squashes it a little more. Sixty stomps does the job, and it's a straight race against the other players to get there first.
Mash a single button — the STOMP! button, click, or space bar. Your first stomp starts the clock.
It takes 60 stomps to flatten the balloon, and the fastest to flat wins. There's no scoring beyond speed — it's purely who reaches 60 first.
When you play Housing Bubble between rounds or in the Arcade, the computer players compete at the difficulty set for your match — from Rookie up to Ace. Easier bots make loose, mistimed plays you can beat with basic execution, while the hardest bots play tight and consistent, so you'll need clean mash to out-score them. In a live game it's the humans who usually decide the round, so a calm, practiced run is your edge.
Housing Bubble is one of the quick minigames that fires between rounds of a RentRivals match — the whole table plays the same game at once, and the winner banks a $20 in-game bonus that can fund the next big purchase. You can also practice Housing Bubble any time, solo against three CPUs, in the Minigame Arcade from the main menu — no board, no room, no stakes.
Sixty stomps flattens the balloon. Whoever gets there first wins — it's a pure speed race, so consistent fast tapping is the whole game.
Alternating two fingers on touch, or rapid clicks on desktop, gives the fastest sustainable stomp rate.
