The ultimate outdoor kids birthday party on the Sunshine Coast
Turn screen time into real-life gaming. Safe, high-energy tactical gel blasting and outdoor games at Twin Waters Resort.
The gel blaster party is the one children ask for by name, and the one parents book again the following year. Two hours of fully hosted tactical gameplay across our custom battlefields, then a full hour in the private party zone for cake, food and the retelling. You share the field with whoever else is on that day - add your own referee and half the field for $150 if you would rather not.
It works because the gel is water-based. It bursts on impact, the sting is slight, and it dries instead of staining - so a party of ten eight-year-olds goes home damp and delighted rather than covered in paint. That is also why it suits mixed groups where some children are keen and some are nervous.
Our staff run the entire session: the safety brief, the safety-glasses rule, the game formats and the rotation. You are not refereeing. You are not organising. You are, at most, holding a cake.
Tactical outdoor birthday packages
The package covers ten players. Extra players are $65 each - a party of 14 is $910.
Two hours of hosted gameplay on the battlefield, then one full hour at the party tables for cake, food and celebration.
No minimum age. Adults count as players at the same rate, and a surprising number join in.
Prices are per person and include GST. The all-up figure beside each price is what you pay online, including FareHarbor's booking fee.

The game arena
- Crashed aircraftThe centrepiece of the field, and the structure every game ends up fighting over.
- Fort structuresHard cover that has to be taken rather than walked around - where the teamwork starts.
- Close-quarter battle zonesTight, fast and loud. Best format for younger groups with short attention spans.
- Open cover linesEnough protection to make crossing the ground a decision instead of a sprint.
- Capture the flagTwo bases, one objective, instant teamwork or instant chaos.
- Defend the fortOne team holds, one team takes, then swap and compare. Always the favourite.
Safety first - host-led and parent-approved
- Safety glasses are supplied and are mandatory on the field at all times - our hosts enforce it, not you.
- Gels are non-toxic and water-hydrated. They burst on impact with minimal sting.
- A professional host referees every round and controls the start and stop of play.
- Enclosed shoes are mandatory. Comfortable outdoor clothing, and long sleeves if your child is sensitive to the sting.
- Spectators enter free - watch from the viewing area, or join in at the player rate.
- Nothing to clean up afterwards: gel is water-based, so clothing dries rather than stains.
- Arrive 15 minutes early so the group can be fitted and briefed without eating into play.
- Bring insect repellent and a water bottle. We are outdoors, and it is Queensland.
Food, cake and catering
Add a BBQ to the party hour and cook on site. The BBQ area is not exclusive - at peak times another group may be using it too. It is a big space, so in practice everyone gets on with their own cooking. The easiest way to feed a group without organising catering.
You bring the cake and candles; we provide the tables and the party zone. Arrive early to decorate if you want to.
Sold on site, so nobody has to carry an esky in from the car park.
