Convention Foam Fighting

More than a game.

Convention Foam Fighting brings safe, high-energy foam weapon combat to participants of all ages and skill levels. Our beginner-friendly events combine the excitement of fantasy battles with organized gameplay where anyone can step into the arena.

For over a decade, we have provided programming at conventions throughout the United States and Canada. We bring the equipment, coaching, and entertainment—participants only need their convention badge and a willingness to join the fight.

For convention organizers, CFF is a flexible, value-added attraction that increases attendee engagement, energizes the convention floor, and creates memorable experiences that help bring guests back.

“CFF has become family like to me after many years working together. Bruce and all his staff have always been friendly and courteous while hosting boffer games. They do an excellent job "recruiting" people of all ages, background and body types to join in all the fun that is Convention Foam Fighting. With the way they run it, free to play with plenty of fun loaner weapons to choose from, they create the perfect environment to maximize their enjoyment, safety and knowledge of the game.”
