DodgeBow is recommended for ages 8 and up. However, we do have events and unique bows for ages 4 to 7 years old called Special Nerf War. If a sibling is doing a regular DodgeBow event with us and their young singling wants to try DodgeBow that's fine. Often a sibling will have their party with us and their brother/sister is 6 years old and they want to try regular DodgeBow, we allow it. Players ages 8 and up tends to do great with regular DodgeBow. Kids 6/7 are hit or miss which is why we offer Nerf Bow War for kids under ages of 8.

Special Nerf War Party: For Ages 4 to 7 Years Old, we offer Nerf War Parties using plastic bows & Nerf Arrows. So if everyone in the group fall withing that age range we use these bows which require minimal motor skill.

For private bookings of any type, we don’t have an age limit. So, if you want to do a private group booking for your family/event then participants can be practically any age.

For public games and buying individual tickets we have age restrictions.

All participants must read and sign our Waiver and Release Form as a condition to play.
Players under 18 must have their parents sign the waiver to allow them to play.

Unlike paintball, it does not hurt! This activity can be played without any heavy protective gear. All arrows have soft-tips, so they do not hurt. We supply face masks and optional arm guards for your added safety. You feel the arrow hit you but it does NOT hurt like paintball or airsoft..those hurt!

The only time it might hurt is for gentleman who choose to not wear a Sport’s “cup” – they are not required but accidents/bad aim happens.

If you book individual tickets and not enough people sign-up during that time slot we may have to cancel or reschedule your opponents. The best game play occurs with 6 or more players. 4 Players is OKAY of a time. But a great time is done with 6 or more players. So, we require a minimum of 6 people is required per session. Groups naturally form with other people when you buy individual tickets unless you book the entire time slot. Session will be cancelled or rescheduled if there is less than 6 people sign up. We will contact the players/organizer to attempt a reschedule. If you really, really, want to play with just 4 players we make exception on case by case basis.
