Curious about airsoft but assume it’s only for hardcore players with their own gear? This night is built for the opposite: people who have never held an airsoft gun. Everything is rented for you, the rules are explained in English, and you play on a TIFE team with other first-timers. Here’s exactly what happens, what it costs and what to wear.
What is airsoft (サバゲー)?
Airsoft, known in Japan as survival game (サバイバルゲーム, “サバゲー”), is a team game played with replica guns that fire small 6 mm plastic BBs. Two teams compete in short games such as eliminating the other side or capturing a flag.
- Honour system: when you’re hit, you raise your hand, call “hit” and leave the game
- Indoor field: walls, corridors and cover, so games are fast and close-range
- Teamwork over skill: communication and tactics matter more than experience
Your airsoft night, step by step
- 7:30 pm: meet at Brave Point. Please arrive on time; check-in, ID check and gear take a few minutes. Tell the TIFE host it’s your first time.
- Get your gear. Rental airsoft gun, eye and face protection and other equipment are handed out and fitted.
- Safety briefing & rules. Staff explain how the equipment works, the safety rules and the game rules, with English instructions.
- Team formation. TIFE forms its own team, so solo participants play together from the start.
- Play a series of short games. Different scenarios, quick resets, plenty of time to learn as you go.
- 9:30 pm: finish. Hand back the gear, take a team photo, and swap contacts with your new teammates.

Does airsoft hurt? Safety for beginners
Honest answer: a hit stings, briefly. A plastic BB can feel like a quick flick and may leave a small red mark on bare skin. Most first-timers are surprised how quickly they forget about it once the game starts.
- Wear long sleeves and long pants if you have sensitive skin or dislike pain; it makes a big difference
- Eye and face protection stays on at all times on the field
- Follow the staff’s safety rules; beginners are guided carefully throughout
- Tell the staff before the game if you have an injury or health concern
