Two ways to play

Field trip to us — or we come to your school

However your school runs it, we make it easy and unforgettable: a private buyout at our arena, or our crew rolling up to your gym, field or parking lot and running the whole thing.

🏟️
Field trip to us

Bring your students here

A private 15,000 sq ft buyout — all activities, Game Day Coordinators, music & MC. That's where the $30/person weekday school rate lives. Indoor, climate-controlled, rain or shine.

🚐
We come to you

Mobile at your school

We pack up bubble soccer, laser tag, archery, nerf, gel blasters, foam pits & more and run it on your field, gym or lot — fully staffed. Perfect for field days, pep rallies & spirit weeks. See mobile pricing →

Why schools pick us

Better than an arcade or trampoline park

The usual field-trip spots mean long lines, one repetitive activity, and teachers stuck refereeing. We flip all three — every student plays, all day.

WickedBall

Every student actually plays

Structured rotations and shortened rounds mean even hundreds of kids all get turns — nobody stuck waiting in a line.

Arcade / trampoline park

Long lines, kids waiting their turn, half the group standing around.

WickedBall

20+ activities, not one

Bubble soccer, laser tag, archery, gel blasters, mechanical bull, foam, obstacle course & more — switch all day.

Arcade / trampoline park

The same trampolines or token games the kids have done a dozen times.

WickedBall

Our staff run it — you relax

High-energy Game Day Coordinators run every station, manage rotations and safety. Teachers get to enjoy it too.

Arcade / trampoline park

You and your chaperones supervise the chaos all by yourselves.

Hundreds of students? No problem.

Everyone still gets a turn

For big groups we tune the day so no one stands around — shorter rounds and multiple activities running at once keep every student moving.

⏱️

Shortened rotations

We flex round lengths — 7, 5, 3, even 2-minute rounds — so large groups cycle through fast.

🎟️

Book multiple activities

Run several stations at once so more kids play simultaneously. Save 10% when you book multiple activities.

🌦️

Indoor & outdoor

Most games play either way. If it rains, activities like laser tag move indoors — the day goes on.

🧑‍🎓

Grades 1–12 & staff

We scale games and gear by age — and teachers love getting in on it too.

🎤

Coordinators run it

Our high-energy Game Day Coordinators run the games; we just ask staff to help keep the excitement in check.

School season fills fast — we book up months in advance. Lock your date as soon as you have it.

We have hundreds of students — how does everyone get a turn?
Easy. We shorten rotation times (think 7-, 5-, 3-, even 2-minute rounds) and you can book multiple activities running at once, so the whole group keeps moving and everyone plays.
