Houston’s most EPIK backyard party experience — delivered to your door.

Nerf Battles are great for ages 5 and up. For younger kids (ages 5-8), we recommend our classic battle setup with lighter blasters. For tweens, teens, and adults, we offer more competitive game modes and heavier blaster options. Kids under 6 can participate with a parent helping them load and operate the blaster.

We recommend an open outdoor space equivalent to at least 1/2 basketball court (approximately 20ft x 40ft) for the best gameplay experience with 10-20 players. Larger groups need more space. A flat backyard, park, or open field works great. We can also set up in indoor spaces like gyms if needed. Not sure if your space is big enough? Send us a photo or your address, and we’ll let you know!

Yes — safety glasses are included with our premium packages and are mandatory for all players. Eye protection is non-negotiable at every EpikFun Nerf Battle. Guests are also welcome to bring their own safety glasses if they prefer.

No, guests are not permitted to bring their own Nerf blasters or foam dart blasters to EPIKFun events. For safety, fairness, and equipment compatibility, all participants must use the blasters and darts provided by EPIKFun. Our equipment is carefully selected, maintained, and tested to ensure consistent performance and an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We run a variety of game modes depending on your group’s age and size. Popular formats include Team Elimination, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, and VIP Protection. Our team coordinates all game modes so you don’t have to organize a thing — we handle the rules, teams, and game flow from start to finish.

Park permit requirements vary by city and park in the Houston area. Some parks require permits for organized events ($75-$200 typically), while others are first-come, first-served. We recommend checking with your local parks department or HOA in advance. We’re happy to advise on good park locations across Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pearland.

Soaker Battles are perfect for ages 6 and up. The water blasters are easy to operate, and the gameplay is intuitive for all ages. It’s one of our most popular summer events in Houston because it keeps kids cool while burning energy. Adults love joining in too!

Our water-activated vests change color when hit with water — making it easy to see who’s been tagged during gameplay. This adds an exciting visual element and eliminates disputes about whether a hit landed. It’s one of EpikFun’s most unique features that you won’t find with most other Houston party rental companies!

Yes — We’ll need access to an outdoor water hose or spigot at your location to refill the tanks and blasters between rounds. We bring all other equipment. Just make sure your outdoor water source is accessible and working before we arrive.

We recommend a minimum open outdoor space of around 20 ft x 40 ft — similar to a large backyard. The bigger the space, the more exciting the gameplay. Parks and open fields work great too. The ground will get wet, so grass or open dirt is ideal — avoid concrete or tile surfaces where slipping could be a risk.

Everyone WILL get soaked — that’s the whole point! Tell guests to wear clothes they don’t mind getting completely wet. Swimwear or shorts and a T-shirt work great. Closed-toe shoes or water shoes are recommended. Bring a towel and a change of clothes for after the battle. Sunscreen is a must for Houston summer events!

Yes — the water blasters we use are age-appropriate, and the water pressure is safe for all participants. We supervise all gameplay and enforce boundaries. For children under 6, we recommend having a parent or guardian with them on the battlefield.

Outdoor movies look best in full darkness. In Houston, that means an approximate start time of 8:00-8:15 PM in summer and 6:00-6:30 PM in fall and winter. We recommend scheduling a fun activity (Nerf battle, yard games, or dinner) before the movie to keep guests entertained while waiting for it to get dark.

For private backyard parties, you can play any movie you may have picked. For public screenings such as HOA block parties, school events, or church gatherings, a public performance license is technically required. 

A backyard with at least 25 feet of open depth works for most of our screen setups. Larger screens and bigger crowds benefit from a park, school field, or community space. Our team assesses your specific space during setup and positions everything for the best viewing angle. Not sure if your backyard is big enough? Send us a photo and we’ll confirm!

We handle the screen, projector, and sound system. You’ll need to provide: (1) access to an outdoor power outlet within 50-100 feet of the setup location, and (2) your preferred movie source — we recommend DVD Disks but can accommodate any other showing devices. Seating is your choice — we include lounge chairs with select packages.

Houston weather is famously unpredictable — that’s why EpikFun offers 24 hours of free rescheduling for weather, no questions asked and no fees. If rain or storms roll in, we’ll work with you to find a new date. We monitor weather forecasts in the days leading up to your event and will reach out proactively if conditions look concerning.

Our sound systems are designed for outdoor use and project sound toward your audience, not outward in all directions. We set the volume at a neighborhood-considerate level. For particularly noise-sensitive areas, ask about our wireless headphone add-on — every guest gets their own headset, and the sound is completely private. Perfect for late-night screenings!

Our yard game collection includes Giant Jenga, Giant Connect Four, Cornhole, Axe Throwing, and more oversized classics. The specific games included depend on your package tier. Check the package details or contact us to ask about specific games for your event.

Self-pickup is the most affordable option — you collect the games from our Sugar Land, TX location, set them up yourself using our instructions, and return them the next day. Delivery means we bring everything to your location anywhere in Greater Houston and return to collect it after your event. A delivery fee of $3/mile applies outside 10 miles of Sugar Land (77478).

All ages! Giant Jenga and Connect Four work for ages 5 to 95. Cornhole is great for teens and adults. Axe Throwing is recommended for ages 12 and up with adult supervision. Yard games are especially popular for events with mixed age groups — kids and parents both end up competing!

Standard rentals are for the day of your event. For self-pickup, equipment is picked up and returned the following day. For delivery packages, our team picks up after your event ends. Contact us if you need a multi-day rental — we’re happy to accommodate extended rentals based on availability.

Our karaoke package includes a professional microphone (or multiple mics depending on your package), a display screen for lyrics, a speaker system, and many options to add on. We deliver, set up, and take down everything — you just bring the vocal talent!

Yes! Karaoke works great outdoors in the backyard, at a covered patio, or under a tent. We recommend having some shade or cover over the screen so lyrics are visible. For evening events in Houston, outdoor karaoke is especially fun once temperatures cool after sunset. We need access to an outdoor power outlet within 50 feet of the setup area.

Karaoke is a crowd-pleaser for birthday parties (all ages!), bachelorette and bachelor parties, family reunions, HOA block parties, school events, church gatherings, and corporate team events. It works especially well as an evening activity in Houston when outdoor temperatures cool down.

A silent disco is a party experience where every guest wears wireless LED headphones instead of listening to music through speakers. The headphones receive music from DJ transmitters — typically 2 or 3 different channels playing different genres simultaneously. Guests can switch channels freely. From the outside, everyone appears to be dancing in silence — which looks hilarious and amazing. From the inside, it’s a full dance party!

The number of headsets depends on your package. Contact us with your estimated guest count, and we’ll recommend the right package. We recommend having one headset per guest for the best experience.

That’s the magic of silent disco — the music plays only through the headphones, not through any speakers. From outside the headphones, all anyone hears is singing and laughter. Perfect for Houston neighborhoods, apartment complexes, HOA events, and any venue where noise is a concern. Dance all night without a single noise complaint!

We typically offer 2-3 channels playing different music genres simultaneously — for example, Top 40/Pop, Hip-Hop/R&B, and Classic Hits. Guests switch between channels using a button on their headphones, and the LED color changes to show which channel they’re on. This creates a fun visual effect as you can see which song people are vibing to!

Silent disco is a showstopper at birthday parties (especially for teens and adults), bachelorette parties, corporate events, HOA gatherings, graduation parties, and neighborhood block parties across Greater Houston. It works beautifully as an evening experience — the glowing LED headphones look spectacular at night and create incredible photos for social media.
