Laser Tag Kit & Headquarters
Our Laser Tag HQ is a secure room which holds our set of 21 Battlefield Sport outdoor laser tag replica weapons, medic boxes and associated equipment. The set is an Australian designed product with replaceable components, and the tech designers are Brisbane-based. This is adult gaming gear based on Call of Duty.

A significant portion of our current income is from 2.5 hour laser tag sessions where players use the gardens and buildings of the village circle for realistic war game simulations. Night sessions with BYO drinks are popular with adults for birthdays and work events. The kids go crazy for it as a birthday party or in our regular school holiday laser tag events. We've had great success offering work Christmas events of night laser tag and a BBQ buffet. We can easily train you to run the games, which are underpinned by specialist sports insurance which has never needed to be claimed upon. There is potential for expansion including for a large scale bush ops field, on which significant work has already been done.
Our Kids Parties
We currently run 11 advertised party packages but often we tailor parties to other themes like Fairies or Fortnite. This is the perfect place for kids to have good old fashioned outdoor fun. The sale will come with all of the photo backdrops, games, props, craft materials and theming needed.
