The War Zone is a High Tech Battlesport Arena, that hosts 3 forms of play: 1.Private Events- Book the arena for your private event 2.Puplic Open Plays- Join both the general public and members to battle 3.Member Only League Play- Competitive play, RESTRICTED to qualified Members

Short answer: No All projectiles, melee, and shields at The War Zone are made of soft foam, rubber, plastic, or combination of these. Obviously, getting tagged in the face probably won't feel as good as getting tagged in the arm, but overall it really doesn't hurt for anyone over 7 years old. Competitive League Play is a different story though. League Play allows players to modify their blasters in order to increase the FPS to a predetermined cap. League play uses all the same materials, but the blasters are allowed to shoot harder.

Short Answer: Yes The War Zone provides free eye protection and a free basic blaster for Private Events, Open Play, and League Play. You can bring your own approved Eye Protection and Blaster if you choose.

Short Answer: No We ALWAYS run games first and celebration/food time after. You don't want your guests puking and neither do we! If you feel like you need more celebration time, ask your Moderators to cut the Game Time short so you can have more Celebration Time.

Short Answer: Yes! On average, there are almost always adults playing at private events. The Game Modes are specifically designed to appeal to both Adults and Kids.

Short Answer: Yes, for $10 You can pay a $10 fee to bring your own food and drinks. Why is there a Fee?? Honestly, we didn't want to add a fee. It used to be free. Unfortunately there are always the bad occasional eggs that leave a huge mess. This fee is to combat this problem. Isn't it your job to clean up? Of course, but within reason. We Always Clean and Disinfect between each event anyways. The problem is when people leave beyond huge messes that could cause us to be late for the next event.
