Nerf Wars

Nerf Wars are friendly battles or games played using Nerf blasters (Non-Expanding Recreational Foam). They’re super popular at parties, youth events, corporate team-building, and even competitive leagues.

Here’s what it usually involves:

What Happens in a Nerf War

• Players use soft-foam dart blasters to tag each other.

• There are often teams, bases, and objectives.

• Everyone runs, hides, reloads, and tries to outplay the other team—like paintball or airsoft, but much safer and no mess.

Common Game Modes

• Team Deathmatch – last team standing.

• Capture the Flag – grab the other team’s flag and return it safely.

• Zombie Mode – tagged players join the zombie side.

• Free-For-All – every player for themselves.

Safety

• Foam darts are soft, but players often wear eye protection just in case.

Where They Happen

• Backyards

• Parks

• Gyms

• Mobile game trucks or Nerf party companies

• Even inside large homes or halls
