What is Nerf Dart Tag?
Nerf Dart Tag began in 2005 when Nerf/Hasbro introduced its original line of toy dart guns ("Nerf blasters") that used soft foam darts (bullets) as ammo. The colorful blasters use a puff of air to launch the foam Nerf dart up to 100ft.
​
With all the fun of paintball and none of the pain and mess, Nerf Dart Tag was instantly popular. By 2009, the Nerf Dart Tag craze had spread around the world and the Nerf Dart Tag League began holding yearly worldwide Dart Tag competitions sponsored by Nerf.
​
The Nerf Dart
The Nerf Darts are composed of tubes of soft foam, capped with a hollow rubber tip that deforms easily on contact to further soften the impact. Darts can safely be launched at point-blank range without any worries of pain or bruising.
The Nerf Blaster
Nerf Blasters come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and styles and are intentionally designed with bright colors and futuristic forms so they can't be mistaken for actual weapons. All of the blasters use springs or battery power to launch soft foam darts 30-100 feet across the playing field. The blasters are tested and certified safe by the manufacturer for use by players age 6+.
