Why Gellyball is beating out paintball, airsoft, and Nerf for kids' parties, corporate events, and everything in between.


Planning a party in Central Texas and tired of the identical old bounce houses, bowling alleys, or mini golf outings? Enter gellyball, the fun, fast-paced blaster experience that’s quickly becoming a favorite in Round Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you're hosting a wild kids' birthday party, a team-building corporate event, or just a weekend hangout, Gellyball offers all the excitement of paintball and airsoft, minus the pain and mess.


At Round Rock Gellyball, we bring the action to you with our fully mobile party setups. That means no travel, no cleanup, just pure fun.


Let’s explore why Gellyball is your next go-to party activity!


What Exactly Is Gellyball?


Gellyball is a low-impact, family-friendly game that uses blasters to shoot tiny water-based gel beads. These beads are:


  • Non-toxic

  • Biodegradable

  • Safe for kids as young as 5

  • Far less painful than paintballs


Think of it as the best parts of Nerf, paintball, and airsoft combined, without the downsides.

Round Rock Gellyball isn’t just for birthdays (though we throw epic ones). Here’s where our mobile parties really shine:


Kids' Birthday Parties

Let’s be honest, kids have short attention spans and lots of energy. Gellyball keeps them engaged, active, and laughing for hours. Plus, no one goes home crying from bruises like they might with paintball.


Corporate Team Building Events

Break the ice and ditch the boring trust falls. Gellyball gets your team moving, strategizing, and laughing together. It’s the kind of bonding your team will actually look forward to.


Family Gatherings & Reunions

Tired of sitting around awkwardly with distant cousins? Gellyball gets the whole crew, from age 5 to 65, moving and making memories.


School and Church Events

Whether it’s a field day, a youth group, or a school fundraiser, Gellyball is a crowd-pleaser. It's safe, inclusive, and doesn’t require special clothing or gear.

Absolutely. Gellyball is designed to be kid-safe:


  • Blasters are lightweight and easy to use
