Nerf Battles Done Right
Nerf Arena takes the chaos of Nerf battles and adds structure, objectives, and teamwork. Instead of just running around shooting randomly, participants play organized games with goals, roles, and strategy. It's still fast-paced and exciting, but now there's a point to it all.
Important: This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Blaster) program. Participants bring their own Nerf blasters and we provide the games, rules, safety equipment, and facilitation. This means kids use gear they're comfortable with, and you don't have to worry about shared equipment.
Game Modes
Choose from our menu of Nerf game modes:
Team Deathmatch — Classic team vs. team elimination. Last team standing wins. Simple, fast, and great for warming up.
Capture the Flag — Two teams compete to capture the enemy's flag while defending their own. Requires teamwork, communication, and strategy.
King of the Hill — Teams fight to control a central zone. Hold it the longest to win. Intense and action-packed.
VIP Escort — One player is the VIP who must be escorted across the field. Attackers try to tag the VIP; defenders protect them. Great for practicing roles.
Zombie Outbreak — One team starts as "zombies" (can only melee tag). Tagged players become zombies. Can the survivors hold out?
Objective Mode — Teams complete objectives (retrieve items, activate switches, hold positions) while opposing team interferes. Most tactical mode.
Free-For-All — Every player for themselves. Last one standing wins. Good for smaller groups or final rounds.
What to Bring
Participants should bring: - Their own Nerf blaster(s) - Extra darts/ammo (we recommend 20+ per player) - Eye protection (we have extras if needed) - Water bottle - Comfortable clothes they can move in
We provide: - Game facilitation and rules enforcement - Boundary markers and objective props - Extra eye protection - First aid supplies - Timer and scoring
Safety First
Nerf battles can get intense, so we take safety seriously: - Eye protection required for all participants - No face shots—body and limb hits only count - Clear boundary rules - "Hit" calls are on the honor system - Facilitators monitor for unsafe play - Cool-down periods between rounds
How It Works
Standard Session (1.5-2 hours): Warm-up game, 2-3 main game modes, championship round. Includes breaks and hydration.
Extended Battle (2.5-3 hours): More game variety, team creation, practice rounds, and a tournament bracket finale.
Themed Scenarios: Add story elements from our other programs—zombie survival (World War Z), faction battles (Space Knight Academy), or custom themes.
Perfect For
Nerf Arena is ideal for: - Birthday parties for Nerf enthusiasts - Summer camps wanting high-energy activities - Youth groups and scout troops - School events and field days - Any group that loves Nerf and wants organized fun
