Features

Key Features

  • Interactive Sensory Play: The venue uses advanced infra-red sensors on headbands and taggers to provide instant audio and visual feedback during combat.
  • Educational Day Out: Each session is designed to promote communication, tactical leadership, and collaborative problem-solving among team members.
  • Safe Combat Environment: As the "taggers" fire invisible beams rather than physical pellets, there is no need for heavy body armour or restrictive goggles.

Top 5 Highlights

  • The Urban Game Zones: Players are immersed in a unique outdoor environment that mimics a real-world battlefield. Kids love the thrill of using the various barricades and obstacles to sneak up on the opposing team.
  • High-Tech Taggers: The latest laser technology used here is accurate to over 100 metres. Children find the realism of the equipment fascinating, as it feels like stepping directly into a live-action version of their favourite console games.
  • Strategic Mission Objectives: Rather than just "shooting," teams are given specific missions to complete. This adds a layer of depth that keeps older kids and teenagers fully invested in the outcome of the match.
  • The Woodland Arena: The Tyneside site utilizes natural terrain to create a challenging and scenic play area. It provides a fantastic opportunity for kids to get off their screens and burn energy in a beautiful rural setting.
  • The Post-Game Briefing: After the final battle, groups can review their stats and celebrate their victories. It is a popular moment for parents to capture "Instagram-ready" photos of the kids in their camo gear.

What to see

What Visitors Love

  • The staff are highly enthusiastic and make the children feel like heroes from the moment they arrive.
  • The equipment is in top-notch condition and the infrared tech is much more reliable than older laser tag systems.

What Visitors Don't Like

  • Sessions can feel like they fly by, with some parents wishing the 1-hour slots were slightly longer.
  • Wait times for the post-game food area can occasionally occur if multiple groups are finishing at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
