Five Simple Steps

- 02

Is It Safe?
Yes — safety is built into every party.
Our hosts review the rules before gameplay, referee each battle, and make sure kids understand how to play safely.
Safety Rules
- Goggles must stay on during gameplay
- No aiming for the head
- Headshots do not count
- No close-range shots under 5 feet
- No diving or sliding
- No hitting with blasters
- Stop immediately when the referee blows the whistle
- Younger kids may play with “fast walking only” rules
Like any active backyard game, there are standard risks that come with running, dodging, and playing. Our job is to keep the games organized, supervised, and as safe as possible.
What Happens If It Rains?
Rain or Shine
Backyard Battles are designed for light rain or shine. A little mud on the battlefield never hurt anyone. If the backyard is still safe and playable, we will do our best to host the event outdoors.
For heavy rain or unsafe weather, we can move indoors if there is a suitable space available. Carpeted areas are preferred. Indoor battles require stricter rules, including no running, diving, or sliding.
