Party Structure and Water Breaks

Games are divided into timed battles lasting between 8 and 15 minutes, though this can vary based on factors like the kids’ energy levels, weather, and game objectives. After each battle, the Battle Captain will check if players need a water break. Short breaks will be provided as needed, but gameplay continues during these breaks.

To ensure player safety and success, we recommend mandatory water breaks approximately every 30 minutes. If you prefer shorter or longer breaks, please let us know so we can adjust the battle schedule accordingly.

Pre-Battle Safety Briefing

We are committed to delivering a high-energy experience while prioritizing player safety. The first 5-8 minutes of your event will be dedicated to explaining the rules, safe equipment use, and team selection. This ensures that all participants are informed and ready, which helps minimize injuries and enhances overall enjoyment. The duration of this briefing may vary slightly based on player attention.

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.

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
