Corporate family days have come a long way from buffet lunches and inflatable castles. In today’s fast-paced world, companies are looking for ways to engage employees and their families in a way that’s fun, active, and genuinely memorable.

What Are Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Battles?

Zorb Football: Picture participants encased in giant inflatable bubbles, bouncing off each other while attempting to play football. It’s hilarious, safe, and entertaining for players and spectators alike.

Nerf Gun Battles: Think team-based foam dart warfare with inflatable bunkers, goggles, and action-packed scenarios like Capture the Flag and Team Elimination. It’s tactical, energetic fun that appeals to all ages.

Why They’re Perfect for Corporate Family Days

Corporate family events should be more than just a day off work—they should leave lasting impressions, strengthen workplace bonds, and give families a great day out. Here’s why this duo works so well:

✅ Inclusive for All Ages

From 6-year-olds to adults, everyone can get involved. Zorb Football is great for those who love physical play, while Nerf Gun battles suit those who prefer a little strategy.

✅ Encourages Team Building

Set up cross-department or family vs. family challenges to build connection and boost morale in a non-work environment.

✅ Memorable and Unique

These aren’t everyday activities. Your staff will remember your family day for years—and talk about it at the office on Monday!

✅ Fully Managed by Professionals

Bubble Boy Events takes care of all equipment, setup, game instruction, and safety—so HR and event planners can actually enjoy the day too.
