frequently asked questions below!
WHAT IS GELLYBALL?
It’s like“Paintball without the pain and without the mess”
Still need more detailed info?
Gellyball is a new game that uses an electric pistol/rifle much like an airsoft pistol that shoots an 8mm water orb. The water orb allows for a much lighter impact and no mess.
Still need more detailed info?
GellyBall is an ultra low impact sport – suitable for kids age five and up. It uses GellyBall blasters – an easy-to-use gun that doesn’t use much pressure to shoot GellyBalls. Unlike Nerf – where you have to constantly reload with ammo off the floor, a GellyBall Blaster holds 750 shots without reloading!!! Lots more fun!!!
WHAT IS A GELLYBALL BLASTER?
The electric pistol/rifle used to shoot water orbeez.
Still need more detailed info?
The GellyBall Blasters used by GellyBall are electronic guns, so if you squeeze the trigger and hold it, they will shoot about 10 balls per second! However, we tell the players to shoot in “bursts” – just a quick pull on the trigger. The pod that holds the ammo is called a “Hand Grenade” – it holds 750 GellyBalls. The GellyBall Blaster accurately shoots a distance of 100 feet!
WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF AMMO?
You can always add more per person or get more for the entire party!
Still need more detailed info?
We include enough ammo in each party package for 10 players to play the entire time. Some players use more ammo more quickly. We instruct players to shoot in short bursts and not to waste their ammo. We reload ammo only in between games. When your party runs out of ammo, you may purchase more or upgrade to unlimited (while supplies last). It is best to upgrade before your party so we bring enough extra ammo for your party.
HOW MANY PLAYERS CAN PLAY GELLYBALL?
There is no limit.
Still need more detailed info?
You can actually have as many players as you like. We do not limit players. We play up to 10 at a time. If you have more than 10 players in your group, we will simply create more teams and rotate so everyone gets to play.
If you have many players, we recommend unlimited ammo and consider more time or other upgrades.
WHAT AGES CAN PLAY GELLYBALL?
As young as 5yrs up to age 85yrs
Still need more detailed info?
Every player is different. We allow players as young as 5 because the equipment is easy to use.
When booking your event or considering walking-up, keep in mind that younger players will have a hard time participating with older players and may face higher risk of injury when playing with older or larger players.
WHAT EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED?
Just working legs, arms, ears and eyes on your part we provide everything else.
Still need more detailed info?
We provide all the necessary equipment as part of your party/event fee.
Our equipment includes: our battery-powered automatic Gel Blaster pistols, full-face protective mask and ammo. If you are playing glow-mode, we include the glow ammo and mounted UV lights.
You do not need to own or bring any special equipment.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Clothes you do outdoor recreation in, maybe a layer or two for extra protection.
Still need more detailed info?
When weather allows, we recommend wearing a couple of layers until you know how the impact will feel. Bring or wear something with long sleeves and long pants until you can decide whether to shed a layer.
We also recommend wearing older clothes that can get dirty or stained just in case.
We play in shorts , tee’s and under armor all the time.
Glow mode tracer rounds (if used) can leave a colored residue on clothes and skin. In our experience this fades and washes out, however, we always recommend wearing clothing that can get dirty and possibly even stained.
HOW IS GELLYBALL PLAYED?
As a versus battle competition between red and blue teams.
Still need more detailed info?
Depending on the type of event, age group and number of players, we run a variety of games which may include team battles, capture the flag, traitor town, one-on-one or two-on-two championships and more. Your Midlo Battle Commander will organize and run the games during your party/event.
We typically play in teams of up to 5, so with more people, we will have more teams and quickly rotate between games so everyone gets lots of play time.
Our safety rules and conduct expectations are given by the Battle Commander before beginning. We expect respect for other players, as well as our staff, equipment and the location.
There should be no physical contact between players or equipment. Our arena, bunkers and equipment are not designed to be climbed upon or moved. We do not tolerate aggressive, rude or damaging behavior related to other players, our staff or our equipment.
DOES IT HURT TO GET SHOT?
No, not in comparison to paintball, the GellyBall Blaster uses very low pressure to shoot, so it only feels like a good snap of a rubber band. But you’ll be having so much fun, you won’t even notice!
Still need more detailed info?
Each person’s sensitivity to the impact is different. We compare the feeling to getting flicked with a rubber band. GellyBall has a much lower impact than paintball and airsoft.
Impact particularly at close range and on bare skin may leave a temporary red mark. Red marks on bare skin or through thin or tight layers of clothes are common from close range combat – in our experience, these marks are not painful but can be apparent for some time, particularly on sensitive skin.
DO YOU CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT?
Yes! Between users of our equipment we clean and disinfect the gear.

HOW LONG DOES A BATTERY LAST AND WHAT IF IT DIES?

Still need more detailed info?

IS GELLYBALL LIKE PAINTBALL?
It’s all the fun and excitement of paintball, without the pain and mess! Like paintball, you get to play all kinds of different games.
IS GELLYBALL LIKE NERF?
GellyBall is WAY more fun than Nerf! The only similarity is that you get to shoot ammo. You aren’t constantly picking ammo up from the ground to reload – the Gel Blaster holds 750 beads!! And it shoots 10 GellyBalls per second and accurately shoots up to distances of 100 feet!!!!
WILL GELLYBALLS HURT MY YARD OR PETS?
GellyBall beads are non-toxic, non-staining and biodegradable. They are safe for pets, yards and people! They are water-hydrated and will shrink to a tiny size before disintegrating entirely – no mess, no clean-up!
