Yes you can! We find that generally sessions for 4-14 work well for a 75 minute period. With sessions of 15+ we recommend booking a 2 hour session to ensure everyone gets more play time as we run a tournament format for games. Bookers are also welcome to increase their standard 75 minute session to a 2 hour session and your host will decide what games and structure would be best for your group dynamic.

All our arrows are foam tipped ( like a big marshmallow) so impact feels like being hit with a beanbag , it's noticeable that you've been hit but it doesn't hurt like paintball or air soft! Archery Tag leaves no bruises from being struck by an arrow, and is known as a family friendly version of paintball that's competitive and fun!

Each session is 75 minutes long which includes a 10 minutes briefing/target practice with 60 minutes in the arena with a 5 minute break in between for rest/toilet break. Games are very quick and take no longer than 5 minutes.

When celebrating such special occasions we offer a firing squad at the end of the session that will be organised by your host. Nominated shooting can be offered for those who need more support

We wouldn't recommend anybody who is pregnant play due to the nature of the sport of combat archery. It requires dynamic movement, dodging projectiles and manuevering around obstacles inside the arena so we wouldn't want to put any mother and child at risk. However we still very much welcome those who are pregnant to spectate on the side for their own as well as the child's health and safety.

Our minimum booking size is four people so we cannot allow bookings for just two people. We would advise finding some willing friends and family to shoot and play with!

In the event the session that the session does not have enough players, you will be reallocated to the next session.
