We’ll handle the action.

What it is: An all-out foam dart birthday battle inside Rivals the Blaster Basecamp, a nearly 10,000-square-foot indoor facility with 5 party areas (called bunkers here) built for nonstop action and “best birthday ever” energy from the second you gear up.

Who it’s for: Kids 6+, tweens, teens, adults and fun-loving families who want a birthday party that actually keeps everyone moving. Organized games, refs running the action and entertainment. All gear included, a reserved party space for food and cake, and the freedom to jump in and out of battle all party long.

2 Hours. All Yours.

Your party block is completely flexible. Hop back and forth between your bunker and the battlefield on your schedule, as much as you like. Play hard, take breaks, eat cake, then get right back in. No party room countdown timers here.

Your Crew. Your Zone. Your Battle Birthday.

Your group gets a dedicated party space, this is your home base to snack, chill, open gifts, and recharge between rounds.

With nearly 10,000 square feet our facility has plenty of room to roam, battle, and have your birthday hero moment. Party areas are open to the arena, but your space is reserved just for your crew.

Battlefield? That’s Shared.

Other players may join your games to keep the energy high and the competition fun. More players = more action, and that’s more memories. There’s plenty of room for all.

What’s Included (aka we’ve got you covered)

You show up. We run the show.

• 2 hours of gameplay
• 2 hours of party area time
• Refereed games + safety oversight
• Reserved party area + full arena access
• All blasters + safety equipment
• Unlimited darts (because… obviously)
• Unlimited blaster swaps & upgrades, free
• Full clean-up (yes, really)

What Happens When You Arrive

Arrive about 10 minutes early so we can get everyone checked in and led to your party room.

Once waivers are signed, and at your party start time, players get a quick safety briefing and jump right into their first games while you get settled into your party space.

From there, it’s a mix of gameplay, breaks, food, and celebrating, all at your pace.

How the Party Typically Flows

No rigid schedule, but here’s a feel for how most parties roll:

• Arrival + check-in
• First rounds of gameplay
• Hydration break 💦
• More battles and game modes
• Break for food, cake, or gifts 🧁
• Final rounds + wrap-up

What to Wear

Come ready to move.

Comfortable, athletic clothing is best, think running, dodging, sliding into hero mode. Socks are required. Sticky socks are great, but not required.

What to Bring

Just your crew, socks (sticky socks work best), and good energy.

We provide all blasters, gear, and everything needed for gameplay.

You’re welcome to bring:
• Cake, desserts
• Drinks, food, snacks
• Table decorations, balloons, etc. (see party policies for specifics)

Food? You’re in Charge (on purpose)

We provide the entertainment and the space, families can customize their celebration around that.

No forced rubber-cheese pizza. No overpriced add-ons. No food your kid didn’t ask for. Bring your favorites or order in from where you love. Keep your budget where you want it.

Parents + Spectators

Parents are welcome to relax in the party bunker or around the arena and watch the action. No following your kids around, you’ll always have line of sight to the battlefield, but just far enough away from the foam flying mayhem.

If you’d like to play, you’ll need a completed waiver and to be counted as a player.

Quick FAQs (also check our Full FAQ page)

Can we change our party size after booking or can we add more players?
We know final guest counts can be tricky! You do not need your exact headcount at booking, but we recommend selecting the package that best matches your expected number of players. Our party areas are designed around each party size to provide the best experience for your group.

If your guest count changes, additional players may be added or your party size may be reduced, within our guidelines. For full details on adding or reducing players, please see our party policies.

Can we bring decorations?
Yes, table decor and balloons are welcome. Check party policies for restrictions.

Can we order food to the venue?
Absolutely. Order in or bring your own.

Do adults count as players?
If they’re playing, yes. If they’re just hanging out, no.

What if someone forgets their waiver?
They’ll need to complete it before playing, doing it ahead of time is the move.

What are the party areas like?
Our party areas are set up along the perimeter of the arena on purpose, so no matter where your group is seated, you’re still part of the action. We have 5 party areas designed to accommodate a range of group sizes. Your space will be assigned based on your party size to make sure everyone has enough room to relax, celebrate, and recharge between games.

Is the arena private?
The party bunker is all yours. The battlefield is shared to keep games high-energy and fun. We do offer private parties but majority of our parties are during open hours. Not to worry, we never oversell our arena.

Is there an age minimum?
Yes, all players entering the arena must be 6 or older. Younger siblings are welcome to hang in the party area, but cannot play in the arena for safety reasons.

How do the games work?
Games are continuous, hop-in, hop-out style, so teams can jump in, take breaks, and rejoin whenever they’re ready. We rotate through a variety of game modes to keep things fresh, fast, and fun. Example games include: team elimination, controlled chaos (fan favorite!), VIP, medic, tag.
