  • The company where my partner works has "Nerf Gun Fight Fridays" in their US office where they suddenly break into a team nerf gun fight at 3pm every Friday afternoon - this is a scientific company (not start up though!) and a very male-dominated environment, so it fits their geeky culture, but I am not sure it would work for everyone.

    My partner being very "British" thought the whole thing was ridiculous when he was handed a nerf gun pistol and told to defend himself. He isn't very keen on "enforced fun".
