We understand that life happens. With at least 7 days notice, we’re happy to reschedule your event at no charge. Deposits are non-refundable, as they reserve the tech's time and availability. If something comes up within 7 days of your event, we’ll do our best to accommodate, but full refunds may not be possible due to preparation and planning.

Payment

Hi! Whether you booked online or by email, any deposit made counts toward the total cost of your party, with the remaining balance due at the event.

We kindly request payment by cash (exact change appreciated, as our technicians do not carry change) or by check at the event. Checks should be made payable to Bot Bash LLC.

Any additional charges, such as extras or a gas fee, will be discussed ahead of time and collected at the event.

Everything Else

When Should Food Happen?

Anytime you'd like, just let us know!

For two hour parties most hosts put out light snacks during play and serve food at the end while our tech packs up.

For three hour parties there is a built in fifteen minute break that can you place wherever you like. If you would like a short pause for cake or food just let the tech know and they will finish the current fight.
