Balloon Hunt is a tour mini-game, hosted by Tortimer on Tortimer Island in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

In the mini-game, players try to shoot down as many balloons as they can with their slingshot. There are two types of balloons, round and bunny. Round balloons are worth 1 point, while bunny balloons are worth 3. On higher difficulties, obstacles such as pitfalls and trees will appear.

On the bottom screen of the 3DS, the direction of the wind will be indicated, telling the player which direction the balloons will fly in.
