nerf parties

If you’ve ever booked or considered booking a Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Hemel Hempstead, you probably have questions. What’s it really like? Do the hosts keep the kids under control? Is it total chaos—or organised fun?

To give you a true look at what goes on during one of these unforgettable events, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a Bubble Boy Events combo party. From setup to final cheers, here’s what actually happens during two hours of high-octane action and laughter.

⏱️ 1 Hour Before the Party: Setup Begins

The Bubble Boy Events team arrives at the chosen venue—whether it’s Gadebridge Park, a hired hall, or a large garden—with everything they need:

  • Giant inflatable zorbs
  • Nerf blasters and foam darts
  • Inflatable bunkers
  • Safety goggles and cones
  • Portable goals and markers

Setup is fast and efficient. The team usually splits the area into two zones—one for Zorb Football and one for Nerf battles. The key is keeping it safe and well-organised so the kids can focus on fun.

🧍‍♂️ 15 Minutes Before: Guests Arrive

Parents and excited children begin to arrive. Kids spot the zorbs and Nerf guns and immediately light up. Hosts take this time to:

  • Greet each child
  • Brief parents on the structure
  • Get waivers (if needed)
  • Fit goggles and explain safety rules

The team’s friendly, energetic vibe sets the tone. Even shy kids start warming up before the party kicks off.

⚽ First Hour: Bubble Football Madness

The party usually starts with Zorb Football. Each child climbs into a giant inflatable bubble suit and bursts into laughter almost immediately. Here’s what you’ll see behind the scenes:

💥 Game Modes Played:

  • Bubble Bulldog
  • Sumo Bump
  • Mini-Matches
  • Last One Standing

Even kids who aren’t into football love the bouncing, bumping, and rolling chaos. The hosts run everything—blowing whistles, resetting teams, and rotating players to keep things fair and safe.

Behind the scenes tip: Hosts are constantly checking for overheating, tiredness, or bumps. Water breaks are encouraged, and parents often love jumping in with their phones to capture the hilarious moments.

🔫 Second Hour: Nerf Gun Battles Begin

After a short break (usually with snacks and water), it’s time for part two: Nerf War.

🛡️ What’s included:

  • Unlimited foam darts
  • Safety goggles
  • Nerf Elite blasters
  • Inflatable bunkers
  • Foam barriers and cones

The area is transformed into a tactical battlefield. The games might include:

  • Capture the Flag
  • Team Elimination
  • Zombie Survival
  • VIP Protection

Behind the scenes insight: Party hosts aren’t just referees—they’re entertainers. They narrate the action, keep score, and make sure every child is involved. No one gets left behind or overwhelmed.

😄 The Vibe Throughout

The atmosphere is non-stop joy. Laughter, cheering, team spirit, and friendly competition fill the air. Parents often stay to watch—many even say it’s the most engaging party they’ve seen. The best part? It’s all structured. While it looks wild from the outside, the hosts are working behind the scenes to keep:

  • The energy high
  • The kids safe
  • The games flowing smoothly

Even when things get hectic, there’s never chaos. That’s the Bubble Boy Events difference.

🧼 After the Party: Tidy, Smiles & Tired Kids

Once the two hours are up, the hosts help gather equipment, assist with packing, and leave the area exactly as they found it. They even help with final group photos, goodie bag handouts, and high-fives all around.

Most kids don’t want to leave—they’re sweaty, smiling, and asking when they can do it again. Parents usually come over to thank the hosts for running a completely hands-off, high-energy, stress-free party.
