Frequently asked questions

How long is the game?
Games are 30 minutes and run on the hour and half past. Recommended arrival time is 15 minutes before. All games include detailed briefings so actual playing time for the game is 20 minutes.

Do you have to book?
No. But to guarantee your place we highly recommend you book on (01268) 779100. Payment is via debit or credit card. All Birthday party options have to be booked in advance.

Do we provide Cakes or Party bags?
We do not provide cakes or party bags, so please bring your own. Your Party Host will take care of cutting and wrapping the cake and sorting out party bags under directions from you.

What food do we provide?
The party food we provide for the children is a choice of a Sausage Hot Dog, Chicken Nuggets, Cheese Burger, Beef Burger, or Vegetarian Burger. All options come with chips and additional meals can be ordered with the party at a cost of £2.50 per meal.

Is there a minimum number?
The minimum number for Birthday parties is 8 guests. There is no minimum number for normal games.

What is the maximum number of people?
The MAXIMUM number of players who can participate in any one game is 42. It is strongly recommended that you stick to your maximum number. Once the 42 places are fully booked we are un-able to cater for additional guests. We are SOLD OUT.

So what if I have extra people?
We recommend that any potential extras are booked as soon as possible. Please book the places with us before you confirm with guests. Once again, we may not be able to cater for participants if we are Sold Out.

Is there a minimum age?
The suggested minimum age is 7 years. However, we do have younger players that can cope with the weight of pack equipment and the themed arena with disco lighting. We allow parents to help as many have shared packs in the past. Please visit us if you are unsure and want to try a pack for size.

What should you wear?
We recommend that players should wear comfortable clothing that will cover the shoulders, as during the games, the packs will rest on them.

Does it Hurt?
No! Unlike paintball, the laser games are non contact

Do we play on our own?
Generally games are played with lots of different people playing in the arena at the same time. If you want the Arena to your self, then we offer an exclusive option.

Do you provisionally book?

Birthday Options:
If you wish to book a birthday party for 8 people, (our minimum number) then we require full payment at the time of booking. Any larger parties will require payment for 2 less than the maximum number. For example, a booking of 15 people will require you to pay for 13 people at the time of booking.
