⏱ Party Time

  • Unless otherwise noted, all parties are 120 minute blocks

  • You and your guests will have access to a reserved party area and full access to the arena during your party duration

  • Parties can check-in up to 15 minutes before your scheduled party time to allow for waivers, check-in and any party set up. Please note that your party area may still be in the process of being cleaned or prepared if you arrive early.

  • 120 minute block starts at your reserved time; late arrivals will decrease party/play time, we cannot extend parties beyond the 120 minute block

  • Our team will help you execute party flow so you can enjoy the fun without worrying about games, keeping the energy hyped or clean-up

👏 Headcount Changes

Not sure of your final guest count yet? No problem! Book the package that best matches the number of guests you expect. Final RSVPs aren't due at booking, and you can add up to 4 additional players before your party if needed.

Increasing Your Party Size

  • Adding Players or Guests: your party size and player count are subject to space and availability, especially during our normal hours when multiple games and parties are taking place. While we love extra battle-buddies we cannot guarantee extra guests or players can be comfortably accommodated.

    • If space allows, a maximum of 4 additional players can be added to your group for $25 per player

    • Seating & Space: Note, due to varying party area capacity, we may not have enough seating or space in your assigned party area for last minute additional players or guests. To ensure your group is comfortable and to avoid disappointment day-of, please carefully select the correct number of players & note maximum guests when booking.

    • If you know you need to increase your party size by significantly more than you initially booked, please reach out to us at booking@theblasterbasecamp.com, we will do our best to accommodate! We cannot guarantee larger party room availability, so please carefully select your party size at the time of initial booking.

Reducing Your Party Size

  • We understand that RSVPs can change! You may reduce your party by one package level one time, as long as we receive your request at least 10 days before your party. Because our party rooms and staffing are assigned based on the size of your group, we're unable to accommodate additional reductions or changes after that time.

👥 Party Capacity & Shared Arena Space

  • Parties may share the arena with other parties or guests

  • Your booking number = your player count

    • Example) A Squad booking number of 6 = 6 players

      • We anticipate 1-4 non-playing adults or guests for each group

      • Recommended ratio: 1 adult or guest per 4 players

      • Any adults or guests playing count toward player count

  • Additional Players & Capacity

    • Please book the correct number of players upfront. Additional players can be added at check-in, only if arena capacity allows. No more than 4 additional players per party, each additional player is $25. Being moved to a larger party area or additional seating for additional guests are not guaranteed.

    • Each party area has a maximum capacity for guest comfort. The maximum capacity includes both players and guests. You will be assigned a party area based on your party size, selected during your initial booking. We do our best to accommodate party sizes and changes but cannot guarantee.

    • Party area assignments depend on party size and start time.

  • Sibling & Age Policy

    • Minimum age to play in the arena is 6 years old

    • Siblings/children under 6 years old may attend but cannot play in the arena. We are happy to provide a ‘mini-mission’ in the party area for younger siblings, please note this in your booking.
