Birthdays (Ages 6+)

What it feels like: a fast, coached mini-tournament in your backyard (or gym) with cinematic game props and a hype coach running the show. We rotate players smoothly so everyone plays a lot.

Great for: 10–24 players (12 play at once; we rotate up to 24).

Surfaces: grass, turf, gym floor, asphalt (light, dry, and safe).

Space guide: ~30’×50′ (backyard-friendly); bigger = more cover options.

Weather plan: light rain is often okay; heavy rain/lightning → reschedule or move to Hosted Yard (Indoor Upgrade).

Run-of-show (typical):

  • Arrival & Setup (30–45 min prior): we walk the space, place beacons/props, mark boundaries.
  • Safety Brief & Demo (8–10 min): rules, gear handling, eye-safe IR, out-of-bounds, fair play.
  • Core Games (40–70 min depending on package): 5–10 min rounds, quick resets, music + hype.
  • Finale (5–10 min): clutch mission or showdown.
  • Photo Moment (if included): squad pics, MVP pose, group banner shot.
  • Tidy Pack-down (20–30 min): we leave the yard clean.

Age & accessibility:

recommended 6+; younger kids can join at parent discretion if they can hold a tagger, follow instructions, and keep eye shields on if used. We can adapt for mixed ages/abilities.

Parent/host checklist:

  • Clear the play area (toys, hoses, pet waste).
  • Dogs/cats inside during play.
  • Water station available.
  • Optional: tell neighbors; this is non-projectile and not loud.

Corporate & Team-Building
