Fortnite's popularity continues today. For example, Australia's biggest download day was December 1st to celebrate new Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
Throw A "Fortnite Party" At Home
If you are a parent or teacher of a tween, you’ll know that Fortnite is a 3rd-person shooter video game that has taken the world's youth by storm.
The hearts and minds and any spare time of most adolescents across Australia are now dedicated to playing the Battle Royale game to find out who will be the last gamer standing.
A home Battle Royale Party will keep your little sharpshooters entertained. As the organizer, you won't need to remortgage the house just to throw a fabulous party.

Where to Begin?
Book the package in our "Royale Tagger" series so your gamers can play over and over to see who is the last gamer standing!
To get the proper "Fortnite for Real" experience, add a "supply crate" to your rental.
Fortnite and PUBG made Battle Royale one of the hottest video game formats right now.
Now, many other video gaming franchises like Call of Duty and Battlefield are getting involved in the act.
And why not?
The appeal of being the last gamer standing is addictive! Now, you can rent some laser tag gear from Laser Tag in a Box to bring the hugely popular survival game into the real world and into your backyard.
General mayhem. Period. Battle Royale is a game of survival. It is a free-for-all fight. The royale in Battle Royale refers to the game’s intensity rather than to a regal connection. Battle Royale Fortnite's video game launched late last year as a follow-on from PUBG.
It has quickly surged in popularity and dominates the world of teen gamers.
The video game inspires the game mechanics of the live version. In the video game, the scenario starts with 100 players, and the challenge is to survive long enough to emerge as the last gamer standing.
Gamers fly over a map in a bus. Yes, a party bus! Then, choose when to eject, hopefully landing away from other players. The at-home live-action version might not have 100 players, but the basic idea is the same.
All the gamers start in the middle, and they have 30 seconds to get to a good starting point. Because the batteries are long-lasting, you can play the Battle Royale mission over and over.
The first step to a fun-filled Battle Royale inspired party is to send out party invites so your child and their buddies can “hop on the battle bus”.
Choose a location and time and invite your child's friends to join the fun on the “island,” also known as your backyard.
Specify the time and date for the party-goers to “skydive” and glide into your rendezvous.
If you choose your house or a nearby park to have the party this can be relatively inexpensive compared to family entertainment centres or theme parks. The other bonus is that your children just play with the kids they know.
You can order customised invites from companies like Etsy, Amazon, or eBay, which often offer instant downloads that you then simply print yourself. You can also get loads of ideas from Pinterest.
You can also download a party invite template from us.

"Brilliant! Best Party Ever! Everything was so organised and efficient. The kids (and adults) had so much fun, it was the easiest party to organise and the kids seriously didn't come near us." Michelle, QLD
Banish boring parties and book a laser tag rental so your little gamers can save the world or at least your backyard. Plan to play fun games like “Battle Royale”. The kids can play in squads or solo. Just like in the video game, the live version gradually forces the combatants to enter an ever-shrinking playing field.
Because you rent for Saturday and get Sunday free, the fun can last as long as you like. Invite the family over for a BBQ on Saturday, then host the birthday party on Sunday to have fun all weekend long. Or have the gamers go into the evening with a sleepover party!
"THE BOYS HAD A BLAST Professional, friendly and attentive service at all stages of the process. The boys had a blast!!!" Erin, Brisbane, QLD
Prepare your battlefield and decorate your party area with forts, boxes, and ramps. Think Minecraft meets DIY battlefield. Okay, so while you might be unable to build wooden ramps and buildings in the garden, you can deck it out with camo nets, camo bunting or inflatables.
Laser Tag is high-tech "hide and seek," so the players will need some items to hide behind.
A good rule of thumb is that if you have 12 gamers playing at once, then you need at least 12 things to hide behind.
Well, perhaps not a REAL battlefield. :-)
In preparing for the Battle Royale party, your crew can “build a battlefield in your backyard”.
Okay, so while you might be unable to build wooden ramps and buildings in the garden, you can deck it out with camo nets or inflatables.
If you are printing out your decorations or signs, use an army-style stencil font for the text. I've found that "Burbank Condensed" or "Luckiest Guy" (a Google font) work well.
Using signage that matches the Fortnite theme effectively sets out the different areas of the house and backyard for eating, playing, etc.
HINT: You might also want to add in a party pinata, such as a Llama Pinata.
You might also consider inviting the kids to wear costumes, like their favourite skins in the video game. But be prepared; you might end up seeing a lot of Tomato Heads and galactic ninjas.
"Very professional and easy to hire. The delivery and return were simple. I was well informed all the way. The equipment was in good condition. Importantly, the kids had a blast." Paul, NSW
No party is complete without party food, and with a Fortnite theme, the options are endless. While professional catering can be expensive, you can save a lot if you have a party at home. Look for bargain buys for napkins, disposable cups, and plates.
If you can prepare many items beforehand, the day of your event will be less stressful. Consider making or buying battle cupcakes a week before and freezing them until party day.
Say you are inviting 16 kids. Make 16 cupcakes and place them out in the shape of the birthday boy or girl's age. Then, get some cupcake stickers for decorations, such as silhouettes of forts or troopers.
A two-tier made-to-order birthday cake can cost upwards of $300+. So making your own can certainly save you. There is no harm in buying a cake mix or sponge slab cake from a store and then decorating it. Llama Cakes are in.
Voila!
You have Fortnite birthday cake. For your beverages, consider getting small and large potions, oh I mean "boost juices"!
With the final arrangements, your little gamers will have a party to remember.
This is your little munchkin’s big day. With their friends, being ninjas or outlanders, everyone will enjoy sweet treats and fun laser games, making it a birthday party they will never forget.
During the party, in addition to playing laser tag games, you might want to consider running a dance challenge competition!
Floss like a boss!
Get each gamer to strut their stuff — their best emote — whether it is the default Fortnite dance flossing or even the “ride the pony” dance!
At the end of the party, consider also handing out themed loot bags.
You can buy some gold chocolate coins for V-bucks. For a fun take-home mement,o how about some dog tags?
This is a great way to finish up your Fortnite-themed birthday party.
Hungry gamers will want to collect goodies like lollies, loot bags, and birthday cakes.
Be sure to have many supplies on hand when planning your Battle Royale Birthday Party.
