Theme packs / Ninja
Ninja birthday party ideas for a small indoor space
Quiet, fast and competitive. A ninja party is the rare theme that suits a flat.

The Ninja pack is $9 on its own, and one theme pack is already included with the Box.
The plan
Two hours of ninja party
Food
- Rice ball snacks, or just rice crackers in bowls with chopsticks nobody will use.
- "Throwing star" sandwiches cut with a star cutter.
- A black-frosted cake, which looks dramatic and hides every mistake.
Decorations
- Black and red only. Two colours, and it looks designed.
- Headbands at the door, tied on by an adult, which becomes the party photo.
- Crepe paper strung across the hallway as lasers to duck under.
One thing that isn’t a screen
A silent-walking challenge down the hall. It is genuinely funny and it costs nothing.
What usually goes wrong
Ninja parties invite play-fighting. Give the competition a scoreboard early, before it finds its own outlet.
A running order that works
0:00–0:20
Arrival
Guests trickle in over twenty minutes. Have the on-arrival activity out and the TV showing the attract screen.
0:20–0:45
The activity
One thing off the screen, with a clear end. Twenty-five minutes is the ceiling.
0:45–1:00
Cake
Sing, cut, hand it out. Do not do this at the start; sugar first is a mistake you make once.
1:00–1:40
The tournament
Five games on the TV, four kids at a time, names entered once. This is the loudest and easiest forty minutes of the party.
1:40–2:00
Wind down
Free play on the console, party bags by the door, parents arriving. The screen keeps everyone in one room while you hand out bags.
The arcade
All 38 games, in Ninja colours
A theme pack is a full reskin — art and palette — over mechanics that already work. These four suit a ninja party particularly well.
The invitation
3 ways a ninja invitation can look
Free with every package, and it is the same page your guests actually open — a countdown, the address, a map and a two-tap RSVP. No ads, no account, nothing to install.
