What age is GelBlaster suitable for?
GelBlaster Battlezone is suitable for ages 6+ and is designed to be fun for kids, teens and adults alike.
Does it hurt?
Just a little! Getting hit with a Gellet feels similar to being hit with a rubber band — a quick minor sting that most players barely notice because they are too busy laughing and playing.
Unlike paintball, GelBlaster is designed to be lower impact with minimal risk of bruising or welts.
How many players do I need for a birthday party?
Birthday party bookings are available for a minimum of 6 players and a maximum of 40 players.
How long does an 800 Gellet hopper last?
Depending how trigger-happy you are, a hopper can last anywhere from around 3 minutes on full-auto to up to 30 minutes with more controlled gameplay.
Additional Gellet hoppers can be purchased for £2.50 each.
Where can I find you?
You can find GelBlaster Battlezone inside Castle Quarter Norwich on Level 2, next to Boom Battle Bar and Superbowl UK.
Are the Gellets messy?
No — Gellets are water-based, biodegradable and non-toxic. They burst on impact and quickly dry away, leaving no paint or staining behind.
