The Monster will join forces with the Hasbro brand for an immersive experience during the course's run at the NEC next month.

The adventure will begin in the briefing zone where kids will be kitted out with their chosen blaster loaded with darts. After the briefing, players will set out onto The Monster for the NERF Monster battle, making their way over 40 obstacles and facing various NERF challenges throughout the 300m course.

After tackling The Monster, families will also be able to experience the Targeting Arena and The Sports Arena Zone taking place within a giant inflatable arena.

Michael Ritchie, vice president, global brand strategy and marketing at Hasbro, said: “We are excited to be celebrating the NERF brand’s 50th anniversary by partnering with the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course.
