Whack the piñata

Swing until the candy flies.

A piñata swings gently from its rope, practically asking for it. Every whack sends it swinging harder, and cracks start to show — first hairline, then leaking the odd piece of candy.

Time your hits with the swing for extra force, or just hold down and pummel it. When the damage is done, the whole thing bursts in a storm of confetti, candy, and papier-mâché.

No blindfold, no waiting your turn, no party required. When one piñata gives up its candy, a new one is hoisted into place.
