GellyBall at Black Mountain Adventure Zone
“Gellyball is a new, lower impact shooting experience for players as young as five and yet still exciting for teens and adults!”
Players use our battery-powered, automated blasters to fire at targets and other players in a variety of game environments. When fired, the strange gel-based water orb ammunition feels like a rubber band. There is also no mess to tidy up.
