Washington’s First Indoor Nerf Arena in East Bremerton
The Tag Zone is located in East Bremerton, Washington, in Kitsap County, across Puget Sound from Seattle. The business has been running for about a decade and moved to its current building in July 2019. It describes itself as the Northwest’s only dedicated indoor Nerf gun arena, and it works as a modern-day version of tag, where a player who gets hit is simply out.
Two Arenas With About 3,000 Square Feet of Obstacles
The play space covers about 3,000 square feet and is split into two large arenas filled with obstacles. Two teams compete in fast-paced, objective-based Nerf matches, and the layout gives players walls and barriers to hide behind. The team aspect of the game encourages communication and quick thinking. Several dozen matches can be played in a two-hour session, so groups never run out of rounds.
Games Anyone Can Learn in a Minute
Scenario games include team deathmatch, capture the flag, king of the hill, the medic, and the prison, and the staff chooses games that are easy for young players to understand. A referee monitors every match and enforces the rules. The venue provides Nerf guns, ammo, and safety glasses, and a rules and safety briefing comes first. Players must be in kindergarten or older, and an upgrade to Nerf Rival guns is available, with ages 10 and up suggested.
Open Play, Birthday Parties, and Group Events
Open play lets anyone book a spot by the hour, with guns and ammo included. Food is not allowed during open play, and the online booking calendar guarantees a space. Birthday parties run for two hours, with exclusive use of a party area next to the field. Tables and chairs are provided, and outside food and drinks are welcome. Reviewers praise the hosts and say the venue worked well for a 15-year-old’s party with friends from 12 to 18.
Fundraisers, Team Building, and Day Camps
The venue also welcomes school fundraisers, sports banquets, family reunions, corporate team building, and day camps. Group events can be booked at any time of day, and the staff will open the arena outside posted hours for larger groups. Adults enjoy it as much as children, and reviewers describe a friendly, responsible staff that keeps everyone safe.
