About SkyDrift.

A quiet game about hot-air balloons. No engines, no joysticks, nothing to dodge — just real winds carrying your craft across the world while you get on with your day.

The map above is the real sky: every balloon aloft right now, anywhere on Earth. Once you launch, one of them is yours.

The flight

One drift, end to end.

  1. 🗺️

    Pick a spot

    Tap anywhere on land. You launch from wherever you actually are.

  2. 🎈

    Choose a balloon

    Nine craft across six rarities — speed, range and reach all differ.

  3. 🌬️

    Catch the wind

    Real winds along a great circle. A tailwind gets you there sooner.

  4. Nudge it along

    Buy a gust, reroute mid-air, or bail out with an emergency landing.

  5. 🗿

    Drift over things

    Landmarks and artifacts you pass are yours to keep.

  6. 🛬

    Land

    Points bank on our side, so closing the app costs you nothing.

  7. 📖

    Open the scrapbook

    An illustrated card of the real places you crossed on the way.

  8. 💌

    Send a postcard

    Share the route as a link anyone can open, app or no app.
