A Foam Dart Battle Royale is coming to Edinburgh’s Ocean Terminal on Saturday August 27.
The event is for all members of the family over the age of six and organisers say they will be bringing to life games from the infamous Fortnite computer game. This means that participants will be able to look for chests, collect virtual money and build shelters.
Players have been asked to bring their own blasters to the event and to ensure that they mark all of their belongings with their name. Organisers add that 30,000 rounds of ammunition and Rival rounds will be supplied on site.
