If you’re looking for a fun, active and unforgettable birthday party in Norfolk, Glow Gel Blaster at Scorpion Airsoft might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Parents often ask:
- Is it safe?
- Will it hurt?
- What should they wear?
- Is it suitable for younger children?
This guide explains everything you need to know before booking.
👽 What Is a Gel Blaster Party?
A Gel Blaster party is a structured, action-packed game session where players use lightweight blasters that fire small, water-based gel balls, called Gellets.
These Gellets:
- Burst on impact
- Leave no stains
- Are biodegradable
- Have very low impact
Most children describe it as:
“Like laser tag — but better.”
At Scorpion Airsoft, our Glow Gel Blaster sessions take place in a controlled, immersive environment designed for fun and safety.
🎉 Why Parents in Norfolk Choose Gel Blaster
There are plenty of birthday party options in Norfolk — but Gel Blaster stands out because it’s:
✔ Active (burns energy!)
✔ Screen-free
✔ Team-based
✔ Inclusive for mixed ability groups
✔ Exciting without being intimidating
Unlike Airsoft, Gel Blaster has very minimal sting, making it ideal for ages 6 +
It allows children to focus on fun rather than worrying about getting hit.
🛡️ Is Gel Blaster Safe?
Safety is our top priority at Scorpion Airsoft.
Every session includes:
- A full safety briefing
- Mandatory eye protection
- Trained marshals supervising games
- Clearly controlled play zones
- Structured, referee-led game scenarios
Games are organised, not chaotic.
Children are guided through each round and supported throughout the session.
👕 What Should Children Wear?
Glow Gel Blaster is active and fast-paced, so comfortable clothing is important.
We recommend:
- Trainers or boots with good ankle support (no Crocs please)
- Long sleeves and full-length trousers (recommended but not essential)
- Clothing suitable for running around in
- A light jumper or hoodie during cooler months
While long sleeves and trousers aren’t mandatory, they can make gameplay more comfortable — especially for children who prefer a little extra coverage.
The good news? Our gellets are water-based, non-toxic and won’t stain clothing, so there’s no messy clean-up afterwards.
✨ Top Glow Tip
If your child wants to stand out inside the Glow Battle Bunker, clothing choice makes a difference.
White and bright colours glow best under our UV lighting.
Neon and light shades really pop — while darker colours won’t glow as much (although they’ll still have just as much fun!).
Some of the best glowing choices include:
- White, neon, yellow, green or pink tops
- Glow or neon accessories (laces, wristbands, socks)
- Glowsticks (bracelets and necklaces work brilliantly)
- White trainers or shoes with light soles
- Clothing with reflective or fluorescent details
White or neon tops + white trainers = maximum glow level unlocked.
🔦 Tour of the Glow-in-the-Dark Bunker
Before the first game begins, players are given a short guided tour of our Glow Battle Bunker.
They’ll explore:
- UV-lit corridors
- Tactical hiding spots
- Defensive positions
- Flag zones
- Team starting areas
The lighting creates atmosphere while maintaining safe visibility, and this is usually the moment the excitement really kicks in.
🎮 The Games: 3 x 20-Minute Battles
Each party includes three structured 20-minute games, designed to keep energy high and everyone involved.
🔴 Team Death Match (TDM)
Two teams compete to eliminate the opposition.
This is fast-paced, high-energy and perfect for building confidence early in the session.
🚩 Capture the Flag
Teams must defend their base while attempting to capture the opposing team’s flag.
This game encourages:
- Teamwork
- Strategy
- Communication
It’s competitive — but always controlled and supervised.
🥤 Slush Included for Every Player
After the action, each player receives a slush drink included in the party package.
It’s the perfect cool-down after three high-energy games — and always a big hit with the group.

And parents love it because it’s structured, supervised and designed to keep everyone included.
👨👩👧 Can Adults Play Too?
Absolutely — 100% encouraged.
Glow Gel Blaster isn’t just for the kids.
We regularly have:
- Parents joining in

In fact, Kids vs Adults is one of the most popular game formats we run.
There’s something brilliant about watching parents suddenly realise how competitive it gets — especially when the kids start winning!
It adds a whole new level of laughter, teamwork and friendly rivalry to the party.
And because Gel Blaster is low impact and safe, it’s ideal for mixed-age groups who want to play together rather than just watch from the sidelines.
So if you’re booking a party and thinking,
“I’ll just stand and watch…”
Be warned — you might end up in the arena!
