$149 for a Hot Air Balloon Ride with a Champagne Toast ($289.99 Value)

Sportations hosts hot air balloon rides, which depart at sunrise and sunset from various locations around the Denver metro area. The polychromatic vessels and their accompanying pilots convey passengers aged 7 and older high above the bustling metropolis, where they take in stunning vistas during a one-hour flight. The entire experience lasts approximately 3–3.5 hours and also includes balloon inflation and deflation, as well as a postflight champagne toast.

Sportations

Sportations connects amateur adrenaline jockeys to certified professional adventurers, drawing from a nationwide network of aeronauts and speed demons to introduce habitual pedestrians to the wonders of skydiving, ballooning, hang gliding, and stock-car racing. Thrill seekers can zipline across a forest canopy, hollering like Tarzan or taunting nearby birds until they agree to race. Helicopter tours ferry patrons skyward over landmarks and cityscapes, whereas paragliding adventures get up close and personal with blue skies and clouds. For most sports, Sportations accommodates groups of any size, from physics classes empirically proving gravity's existence to solo ballooning supervillains declaring dominion over all they see.

The Groupon Guide to: Playing Marbles

Marbles is a game believed to involve drawing a chalk circle and populating it with collectible glass marbles of varying color and size. Since the last person who actually knew how to play "marbles" passed away in 1956, modern game theoreticians can only speculate about the rules:

  • Draw a circle of chalk on the ground.
  • One player adds some, but not all, of their marbles.
  • Another player adds a portion of their marbles.
  • The players shake hands to agree that "marbles" is about to be played.
  • Marbles are rolled (flicked?) at one another to result in some marbles entering the circle, while others, through gentle collision, are pushed out.
  • A dog with an eye patch looks on warily, his loyalties unknown.
  • A play or move results in one player getting to keep all the marbles, hence the still relevant expression "This one is for all the marbles."
  • The players once again shake hands and return to their Victorian boys' academy, shipyard, or World War I trench, although one player's pockets, with every footstep, now clatter with the reminder that he has robbed the other player of the entirety of his worldly possessions.
  • The half-blind dog sets off alongside the nearest set of train tracks, disappearing in a cloud of sun-bleached dust.

Can you strike it big playing the highly lucrative game of marbles?
