Your Combat Ops Indy birthday party: what to expect
Bring your birthday group. Your party captain helps coordinate check-in, activities, and your private party room. Laser Tag and Nerf arenas are not private; your group may play alongside other groups.
Your party includes two hours of fun, with a separate 30-minute check-in window scheduled beforehand. Plan for approximately 2½ hours from your scheduled arrival to the end of the party. Here's how to prepare and what to expect.
Before the party
Send the online waiver with your invitations. Every participant needs a signed waiver, valid for one year. Participants age 18 or older must sign their own waiver; parents or guardians must sign for dependent children.
Check your booking confirmation for your package and scheduled arrival time, and share that time with your guests. Your final player count is due the evening before your event. Call 317-667-0703 if your count or plans change. We cannot lower your count on the day of the event; additional players may be added if capacity allows. The minimum package charge covers 10 players.
Birthday parties may bring birthday cake, cupcakes, and ice cream only. No other outside food is permitted. We can store your cake and ice cream until your room time begins.
Every birthday package includes two one-topping pizzas and 10 bottles of water. Additional party food and upgrades are available for purchase. Call 317-667-0703 before your visit, or let us know on the day of your party if you would like to add or upgrade.
Arrive and check in
Arrive during the 30-minute check-in window shown on your booking confirmation. You do not need to arrive before that scheduled arrival time. Check-in takes place before the two-hour party; completing waivers ahead of time helps your group get ready.
At check-in, we check waivers, review your party details and schedule, wristband party guests, and store your decorations and cake until room time begins. Let the team know about a late arrival or a question about who is participating.
Play your package
The activity plan depends on the package you booked. All four include a party captain, one hour in a private party room, two one-topping pizzas, and 10 bottles of water. Arcade credits are provided during room time.
Dual Combat Party
Your activity plan includes 30 minutes of Mission-Based Laser Tag and 30 minutes of Nerf-Style Tag. Every player receives 60 arcade credits plus 20 bonus arcade credits during room time, for 80 credits total. Arenas are not private; you may play with other groups.
Mission-Based Laser Tag Party
Your activity plan includes one hour of Mission-Based Laser Tag. Every player receives 60 arcade credits during room time. The arena is not private; you may play with other groups.
Nerf-Style Tag Party
Your activity plan includes one hour of Nerf-Style Tag. Every player receives 60 arcade credits during room time. The arena is not private; you may play with other groups.
Arcade Party
Your activity plan includes one Dark Ride, one Mini Golf, one Laser Maze, and one hour of arcade time play. Tickets and prizes are not included with the time-play portion. Every player receives 60 arcade credits during room time. This package has its own activity flow; it is not an arena party.
Gather in the party room
Every package includes one hour in a private party room for your group to gather for the two included one-topping pizzas, 10 bottles of water, and any birthday dessert you bring.
We schedule activities first, followed by party-room time. Stored cakes, decorations, and presents will be set up in your room when room time begins. There is no early room access unless it has been paid for ahead of time. Arcade play takes place during room time.
Food, cake, and the birthday moment
Bring birthday cake, cupcakes, or ice cream if you'd like. No other outside food is permitted.
Your package includes two one-topping pizzas and 10 bottles of water. Party hosts bring out the pizzas and any other ordered food and deliver supplies. Add-ons and upgrades are available for purchase; call before your visit or ask on the day of the event. Let us know about food allergies or dietary concerns before the party so we can work with you on what is needed. An ingredient binder is available in the café.
Decorations, gifts, and favors
You may bring decorations, gifts, and party favors. No glitter, confetti, or decorations hanging from the ceiling are allowed. We handle setup and cleanup and provide tablecloths and table runners for the four 6-foot tables.
We can store gifts, decorations, and favors before room time begins, including presents in locked cabinets until your room opens. Candles, lighters, and serving items are available; we cannot supply a knife for ice-cream cakes. Party captains can help serve cake upon request.
Wrap up your room time
Your party host presents the final bill 15 minutes before room time ends and escorts the paying party to the front desk to check out. Gratuity is not included and is optional. Any gratuity is split between your party captain and the staff who ran your activities.
Please clear the room within five minutes after your booked room time ends. Unused arcade credits do not expire, and you are welcome to continue playing in the arcade with any remaining credits after leaving the room. Additional play time or credits may be purchased on the day of your event.
