Safety · Spokane Party People
The short version

We bring the party tools. Adults still guide the party.

Most Spokane Party People rentals are ready-to-host party crates. We deliver the supplies, include helpful guidance, and pick everything up afterward. The host provides the space, the guest list, and responsible adult supervision during the event.

For Blaster Battle, that means foam-dart play only, safety eyewear on during active play, clear boundaries, and an adult who can pause the action when needed. For other crates, it means age-appropriate use, a safe activity area, and common-sense supervision.

1. Clear expectations

Every rental is meant to be easy to understand before party day. Your quote confirms what is included, what is not included, and whether any setup, staffing, tech check, or attendant support has been added.

2. Clean, checked gear

Returned gear is counted, checked, sorted, and cleaned between rentals. Normal party wear is expected, but damaged or missing items are handled according to the rental agreement.

3. Adult supervision

A responsible adult must supervise the rental during use. Party crates help create the fun; they do not replace the adult who keeps kids on task, safe, hydrated, and kind.

Blaster Battle safety

Blaster Battle is a foam-dart party crate. It includes foam-dart blasters, darts, safety eyewear for the booked package, team markers or armbands, barriers, boundary cones, targets, and game guidance. It is active, high-energy fun, so the rules matter.

Safety eyewear is required during active play. Eyewear is included for the booked package and should be worn by every player whenever darts are flying. If a player removes eyewear, the supervising adult pauses play until eyewear is back on.

Adult supervision is required. A responsible adult should stay close enough to see the play zone, enforce the safety rules, call timeouts, manage water breaks, and reset the group if play gets too wild.

Clear play zones help everyone. Barriers and boundary cones are included to help define the activity area. Before the party starts, the host should remove obvious trip hazards, fragile items, aggressive pets, and anything that does not belong in the play zone.

Host responsibilities

The host is responsible for providing a safe, reasonable area for the party crate and supervising guests during use. That includes checking the space before play, keeping the rental at the booking address unless another arrangement is approved, and making sure the supplies are used as intended.

  • Keep activity areas clear of broken glass, sharp debris, fragile decor, and unsafe obstacles.
  • Make sure pets are safely away from active play when needed.
  • Use party crate items only for their intended purpose.
  • Do not modify equipment, remove labels, or attach items that were not provided for that use.
  • Pause the activity if kids are not listening, boundaries are being ignored, or the space no longer feels safe.

Setup, cleanup, and staffing

Setup, cleanup, staffing, and party hosting are not included by default unless your quote says so. Many crates are designed so families can unpack, enjoy, repack, and leave the crate ready for pickup. If you want extra help, ask about available add-ons such as setup support, station layout, tech check, or event attendant options.

If a venue, school, church, park, or community event requires special documentation or a different support level, include that information in your inquiry so Mary can review the details before quoting.

Weather and outdoor conditions

Outdoor parties depend on real conditions, not just wishful thinking. Wet surfaces, wind, smoke, ice, extreme heat, poor visibility, or unsafe road conditions may affect delivery, setup, or safe play. Weather is handled with a reschedule-first approach whenever possible, and weather concerns are never penalized.

If the forecast looks questionable, contact us early. The earlier we know, the easier it is to discuss timing changes, an indoor backup, or a new open date within the reschedule window.

Sanitation and equipment checks

Gear is cleaned and checked between rentals. Blaster Battle items are sorted and inspected, party crate supplies are reviewed before going back out, and missing or damaged items are documented after pickup. The goal is for each family to receive a crate that feels organized, ready, and cared for.

Insurance and venue questions

Spokane Party People carries general liability insurance for its equipment and operations. If your venue requests a certificate of insurance or has rules about outside rentals, parks, power access, delivery windows, or activity zones, send those requirements before booking so they can be reviewed with your quote.

What we do not do by default

  • We do not provide medical care. For an emergency, the supervising adult should contact emergency services.
  • We do not supervise, referee, host, or manage guests unless your quote includes staffing or attendant support.
  • We do not allow equipment to be modified or used outside the approved rental plan.
  • We do not guarantee that every yard, park, venue, or indoor space is appropriate for every party crate.

Questions parents often ask

What ages is Blaster Battle best for? Blaster Battle is recommended for ages 8+. Players should be able to follow simple rules, keep safety eyewear on, and listen to the supervising adult.

Can Blaster Battle be played indoors? Sometimes. Outdoor spaces are usually easier for active play, but indoor spaces may work if the area is cleared, fragile items are moved, and boundaries are obvious.

What about pets? We recommend keeping pets away from active play. Excited pets, running kids, and foam darts are not a great mix.

What if a player ignores the rules? Pause the activity. Reset expectations. If a player will not follow the safety rules, that player should sit out.
