Gellyball is a low velocity and low impact shooting activity, like paintball or airsoft in that it shoots projectiles in the shape of small balls, however the similarity ends there as this is a very family friendly activity. Many kids find these balls to be similar to Orbeez, in that they are bouncy and soft in texture.
As this is a low velocity (~200 feet per second) and low impact shooting activity, involving water based jelly-like balls, it is similar to being hit with about the same pressure has a soft hair tie. Almost everyone finds no issue with being hit as the pressure is enough to realize you were hit but soft enough to where there isn’t pain. Remember that this activity may not be for everyone because everyone has a different tolerance of pain and pressure. Rest assured though that everyone who has participated hasn't had an issue with it as long as proper safety procedures were being followed by the participants.
Overall this activity is very safe as long as all the safety equipment is used and the rules are followed. Furthermore the Gellyballs themselves are made up almost exclusively of water and the entire ball is biodegradable and non-toxic.
No, because the Gellyballs are biodegradable and mostly made up of water they will disintegrate on their own as they are dried up and exposed to the air and sun.
A "hopper" is a grenade shaped container that contains the Gellyballs and acts as the clip that feeds the Gellyballs to the blaster.
There are approximately 700 of our biodegradable, water based Gellyballs in each hopper.
Well that depends completely on the user. We have found that firing the blaster in bursts can lead to each hopper lasting about 45min and firing the blaster in automatic mode (leaving the trigger pressed) for long periods of time will lead to each hopper lasting only about 15min.
If you still have time remaining in the package you purchased you may purchase additional hopper refills at a rate of $6 per hopper plus tax.
Keep in mind that the Gellyball blasters and other equipment that were rented will only be available as long as there are still purchased Gellyballs in play AND time left in the package.
If no additional Gellyballs are purchased, regardless of how much time is left we will begin to put away our equipment.
To make the most of the time left and the hoppers purchased we always recommend to our participants to use bursts instead of leaving the trigger pressed for long periods of time.
To ensure that the participants are able to enjoy the most out of their Gellyball experience we offer several types of game modes which include the following:
Team elimination (1 or 2 lives)
Capture the flag
Freeze Tag
King of the hill (singles/duos/trios)
We can work with you to offer a specific playlist of only one, some or all the game modes.
