We require access to the field/party location one hour before the party for setup and one hour after for breakdown, so be sure to include that in your reservation time.

Travel Fee:

A mileage charge of $1.50 per mile (one way) applies to locations 20 miles or more from our home base.

NERF Play:

Our events are made up of fast-paced battles designed to keep players active and engaged. The length and pace of each round can vary depending on energy levels, weather, and the type of game being played. Between battles, our Game Leader will check in with players and call for short water breaks as needed.

For safety and performance, we recommend scheduled hydration breaks approximately every 30 minutes. If you'd like more or fewer breaks, just let us know—we’re happy to tailor the flow of your event.

Pre-Game Briefing

To kick off your event, we begin with a short safety and strategy briefing. This includes gameplay rules, equipment handling, and team selection. It ensures everyone is prepped and ready to play safely, setting the tone for a fun and injury-free experience. The briefing may vary slightly depending on player engagement.

Liability Waiver

Can you explain the payment and reservation policy at Desert Swarm Tucson?

Payments become non-refundable 24 hours after they are made. The full payment is due at the time of booking. This is because we can only accommodate one party per time slot, and cancellations leave us unable to rebook guests we may have already turned away. To confirm a booking, a confirmation email is necessary, and discussions or quotes do not equate to a confirmed reservation. Bookings are made by filling out a request form and someone from our staff will contact you to let you know if the date is available, to go over details, and take payment. We're unable to reserve event slots without a payment, and availability may change if a reservation is delayed.
What are the safety guidelines and waiver requirements at Desert Swarm Tucson events?

All event participants must sign the liability waiver provided. Safety gear is mandatory whenever handling blasters or during active games. Participants under 18 must wear protective gear, while those over 18 can opt out at their own risk

What is the policy regarding photos and videos at Desert Swarm Tucson events?

Desert Swarm Tucson reserves the right to capture photos and videos at all events for website and social media use, unless clients specify otherwise in writing.
