Our GellyBall, Game Trucks, and Foam Parties are an amazing centerpiece entertainment for any type of birthday party, school fundraising, or corporate sponsor event. Choose Below:
A Gather Blast Foam Party can take place at a house, business, or another venue. We will fill up a designated area with safe and organic foam. We may try to pile the foam up as high as SEVEN FEET, but we try to keep it below kid shoulder height, creating a giant pile of bubble fantasy wonderland every child goes crazy for! Meanwhile, we play kid-friendly music to get the party going!
Our foam is completely safe and non-toxic, as well as plant-based, organic, and gluten-free! It consists of mostly water with two all-natural foaming agents which are also found in organic soaps, like Seventh Generation. We like to say that it’s soap without the soap!
Almost any large flat surface free of obstacles and hazards will work, such as a yard, driveway, or sports court. Grass can get muddy after an hour or so depending on how many people are participating. Harder surfaces can get hot sometimes, and we suggest using wet shoes, but it’s all about your personal preference.
Set up is quick and easy. All we need is access to an outdoor faucet and a normal plug for electricity within 50-75 feet. If those things are easily accessible when we arrive, we can set up in as little as 15 minutes (though we usually arrive 30 minutes before your reservation) so we don’t disrupt your festivities at all.
Near a pool – we absolutely will not mix foam with a pool because that is a dangerous idea. We also cannot use glossy surfaces, like marble or painted concrete. A good rule is if it’s slick when it rains, it will be slick with foam.
No, the foam itself will not harm your grass, but the feet running around in it may cause some wear. No more than any other activity you may have on your lawn, such as a slip ‘n slide or any wet lawn play with a lot of little feet running on soggy grass – and it is certainly better than those giant heavy inflatable bounce houses you see on lawns.
The foam dissolves on its own very quickly after the Foam Party, and some people like to spray down the area to rinse it off when they’re ready. Alternatively, we are happy to spray down the foam with water, time permitting, but we do not recommend that on grass. For grass areas, we recommend letting it dry on its own, and then running sprinklers or spraying it later to get rid of the bubble remains.

We can set up tournament-style or general-style gaming to help raise money for an event or simply to just have fun with a large group of people. If you have a large fundraising event with many people, there are a couple of options.
We can set up our trailer inside to rotate players (16 at a time) in tournament style for 7 minute intervals. The winner stays in the trailer, and as each new group comes in, they try to “unseat the champ!” It’s great fun. The entire crowd feels as if they’re playing in one big game against each other and we’ve had great success with this “big event” format. Don’t worry about the size of your group. We will keep them enjoying the fun, and if they are buying tickets to benefit your cause, they typically jump out to buy more tickets to “keep on playing!”
Where else can you have 16 people all playing in the same game against each other, and against the entire crowd? Great fun for all ages, and the Game Coach stays present to tutor and/or inspire.
We can set up our trailer with up to 4 different games at once, and allow 16 people to play games and 4 more people at the Action Station, rotating through our trailer at the given time slots. Each time a guest enters, they must have a ticket sold by your fundraising organization.
Tickets are sold for $2/each. We can rotate 16 players in at once for 10 minute intervals.
