Gellyball for Every Group, Not Just Birthdays

Birthday Parties

The party the whole class talks about on Monday. The birthday kid gets the field, the guests get a Game Master, and with everyone from age 5 up welcome, the grown-ups can play too.

Schools and Field Days

A gellyball station that runs itself: our staff keep the rotation moving while teachers keep the schedule. The ammo is non-staining, so everyone goes back to class clean.

Camps and After-School Programs

A special-event afternoon for your campers. The Game Master gives every group a safety briefing before its first round and runs the field from start to finish.

Church Youth Groups

Youth nights and church picnics with something everyone can play, from middle schoolers to the youth pastor, with a Game Master in charge of the field.

Company and Community Events

Team building with a winner at the end. Office picnics, employee appreciation days and neighborhood events, with rounds scaled to your headcount.

What Is Gellyball, or Jelly Ball?

Gellyball is a low-impact alternative to paintball, played with gel blasters that fire gellyball ammo instead of paint. Players take cover behind bunkers, every player wears a mask, and a Game Master runs the rounds.

The ammo is non-toxic, non-staining and biodegradable, and safe for pets, yards and people. No paint on the fence, and no ruined party clothes.

Will it fit? We recommend a 30x40 ft space; 30x50 ft is even better, and 25x30 ft is workable. A backyard, a school field, a church lawn or a park can all work.

After dark, it glows: blacklights around the field and glow-in-the-dark ammo, at any package length from one to three hours.

Gellyball Questions, Answered

Does gellyball hurt? Is it safe for kids?
No, it doesn't hurt. Gellyball is low impact: you can feel a hit, about like the snap of a rubber band, but it's gentle enough for kids as young as 5. Every player wears a mask for every round, and the Game Master starts each game with a safety briefing and stays on the field until the last round.
Are parents allowed to play gellyball?
Absolutely, and they usually want to. The same gear works for kids and grown-ups, so parents, older siblings and even grandparents can take a round. Kids against the parents is one of the best ways to end a birthday party. Just count any adults who want to play in your headcount.
Is gellyball the same as gel blasters, gel ball or gel tag?
Pretty much. Gel blasters, gel ball, gel tag and gellyball are all names for the same kind of game, played with blasters that fire small gel beads instead of paint. Gellyball Adventures is the staffed, mobile version: we bring the field, the gear and a Game Master to you.
Is gellyball ammo like Orbeez?
It's a similar idea: small gel beads, not paint and not hard pellets. Our gellyball ammo is non-toxic, non-staining and biodegradable, and safe for pets, yards and people, so there's nothing to scrub or hose off when the last round ends.
What's the difference between gellyball and paintball?
Gellyball is a low-impact alternative to paintball. There's no paint, so nothing stains; players can start at age 5; and instead of driving everyone to a paintball field, the whole game comes to your backyard, school, church or venue, with a Game Master to run it.
Is it jelly ball, gelly ball or gellyball?
All three, depending on who you ask. Jelly ball, gelly ball and gellyball all mean the same game, and people search for every spelling. We spell it gellyball, and whatever you call it, the party works exactly the same way.
Where can I book a gellyball party in Florida?
In Orlando and Central Florida, around Tampa Bay, and in Jacksonville and across the First Coast. Each city is run by its own local Big Idea Entertainment operator, so your booking and your Game Master come from a team that knows the area. Pick your city to check a date.
Can more than 10 kids play at once?
Yes. Every package includes gear for 10 players, and you can add kits when you book so more players are on the field at the same time. The Game Master can also rotate groups through, or do both, so a big guest list or a whole class still gets plenty of rounds.

"We had Big Idea for a Gellyball party, and it was absolutely awesome. Communication prior to event was perfect. Blake showed up and hour prior to the event to set up. The whole setup was impressive, as if we went to an actual paintball field. The blasters and mask were top notch quality too. Blake was polite and professional, the kids loved him. Kids had the best time for 1.5 hours. At the end even the adults had a match and that made it even better. I definitely recommend using Big Idea for any future parties, because we most certainly will."
