🥽 Must-Have Gear for Safe Play

Eye Protection First!
Everyone—no matter their age—must wear impact-rated safety glasses (look for ANSI Z87.1). Sunglasses, swim goggles, or fashion glasses won’t protect your eyes.

Footwear & Clothing:

  • Closed-toe shoes only (no sandals or flip-flops)
  • Comfortable, snug-fitting clothes
  • Bright or reflective clothing is a plus for outdoor play

🏡 Choose a Safe Play Area

Parents: The backyard is best!

  • Avoid hard surfaces, breakables, or areas with traffic
  • No play near pools or streets
  • Keep pets and bystanders clear of the play zone

Teens & kids: Always ask before using public spaces and respect posted rules.

📏 Set the Rules Before You Play

Clear rules = smoother, safer games. Everyone should agree to:

  • Always wear eye protection
  • Never aim at someone’s face or head
  • Don’t shoot at people not playing, animals, or property
  • Keep fingers off the trigger until ready to fire
  • Stay within the play area boundaries
  • Respect “safe zones” for breaks or repairs

🔧 Blaster Handling Tips

  • Load orbs gently—don’t jam them in
  • Keep your blaster pointed at the ground when not in use
  • If it jams, shout “JAM!” and step aside to fix it safely
  • Never fire blindly or too close to another player

🧼 After the Game: Clean Up & Store

Parents: Help younger kids clean their blasters properly.

  • Empty leftover orbs and drain all water
  • Rinse with clean water and dry fully
  • Remove batteries if storing for a while
  • Store in a dry place away from sunlight

👀 Supervision Makes the Game Better

For ages 6–8: Direct adult supervision is a must
For ages 9–12: Watch actively and help settle disputes
For teens: Let them lead, but check in to make sure everyone’s playing fair

Have a small first-aid kit nearby and encourage water breaks on hot days.

⚖️ Choose the Right Blaster for Every Age

Start with a small, manual model for young kids.
Teens can handle larger, motorized blasters—but only with good aim and control.

❓ Quick FAQs

Do Orby Blasters hurt?
Not really. They feel like a splash or a flick. That said, eye protection is always required.

Are the orbs safe?
Yes! They're non-toxic, but not edible. Keep them away from pets and toddlers.

Can I mod my blaster?
We don’t recommend it. It can make the blaster unsafe and void warranties.

Can I use them at a park?
Check local rules first! When in doubt, stick to private spaces like your yard.
