nerf parties

Planning a group event in Edinburgh and looking for something fun, unique, and inclusive? Whether you’re organising a birthday party, school celebration, stag or hen do, or even a corporate team-building day, one party idea is sweeping across Scotland: the Nerf and Zorb combo party.

Combining the physical hilarity of Zorb Football with the strategic thrill of a Nerf Gun Battle, this double-feature experience offers non-stop energy, laughter, and excitement—no matter your age or fitness level.

Here’s why these combo parties from Bubble Boy Events are becoming the go-to group activity in Edinburgh, and why it’s time you jumped in a zorb, grabbed a blaster, and joined the fun.

⚽ Zorb Football: Bounce, Bash, and Belly Laughs

Zorb Football (also known as Bubble Football) is the wild twist on five-a-side where players wear giant inflatable zorbs over their upper body, making it impossible not to laugh. You’ll be flipping, bouncing, and rolling while trying to score goals—and possibly forgetting all about the ball in the process.

Why it works for all ages:

  • Soft and safe with full-body cushioning
  • Games are adapted for all fitness levels
  • It’s more about fun than football skills
  • Suitable for ages 6+ to adults
  • Spectators enjoy it just as much as players

In Edinburgh, you can host a game at a variety of indoor and outdoor venues—from sports halls to grassy parks—and Bubble Boy Events provides everything needed, including zorbs, goals, cones, and referees.

🔫 Nerf Gun Battles: Strategy Meets Fun

The other half of this dynamic duo? A Nerf Gun Party that transforms any venue into a full-on battle zone. With foam darts flying, inflatable bunkers for cover, and team missions to complete, it’s like stepping into a live-action video game.

Why Nerf is universally loved:

  • Great for kids, teens, and even adults
  • Encourages teamwork, strategy, and movement
  • Safe equipment with goggles and soft darts
  • Indoor and outdoor options available
  • Adaptable for groups of 10–30+

You don’t need prior experience or athleticism—just a sense of adventure and the ability to hide, duck, and launch an ambush!

🎯 The Combo Advantage: Why Book Both?

Why settle for one awesome activity when you can have two? A Zorb + Nerf combo party offers the perfect balance of physical energy and tactical play, keeping everyone engaged, challenged, and entertained for hours.

Benefits of the combo:

  • Variety keeps the momentum going—less chance of boredom
  • Appeals to different personalities (sporty, strategic, energetic, shy)
  • Works for mixed-age groups (siblings, school friends, colleagues)
  • Makes for an epic event with loads of photo and video moments
  • Easier planning—Bubble Boy Events handles setup, hosting, and takedown

This combo is especially useful for group celebrations where you want everyone to have a great time, regardless of age or fitness level.
