Get your loaners , find a place park , secluded area , public building , maybe a big backyard ! , schedule regular dates , and have some loyal friends tag along so it looks like you have a crowd . Look to social media , have your friends bring younger relatives , and just make it look as fun as possible . It ' s up to you if you want to set an age limit , setting a minimum age can filter immature players , but cuts off your audience . Come up with different game types to keep people interested . Make a creative acronym with your group name . Make sure you supply darts too , some people are stingy and don ' t want to risk losing their darts . As for the loyal friends part , try and show a few friends how you can modify blasters , if you do , and try to get them interested . Usually that presents nerf as a more mature hobby and a ton cooler .
