Answers to the most common questions from event organisers. Can't find what you're after? Give us a call.
Booking & Logistics
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for large events (school fetes, council festivals), and at least 2–3 weeks for smaller bookings. Popular dates — particularly end-of-school-year and summer weekends — book out quickly. The earlier you enquire, the better chance of securing your preferred date.
We're based in Port Stephens, NSW and service events within approximately a 3-hour radius. This includes:
Travel within approximately 1.5 hours of Port Stephens is included. Beyond that, a surcharge of $99 per 30 minutes each way applies. We'll always confirm any travel costs in your quote.
Yes — we can accommodate multi-day events or run on consecutive days. This is popular for school activities weeks, multi-stage festivals, or large camps. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we'll put together a custom quote.
Essentially nothing! We bring everything required to run the activity. All you need to provide is:
We do not require power, water, or any equipment from your end.
Our equipment works indoors and outdoors. Light rain doesn't stop play. For heavy rain or severe weather, it's worth having an undercover backup identified ahead of time. If the event is cancelled due to weather, we'll work with you to reschedule at no extra charge.
Pricing & Packages
All packages include: delivery to your venue, all equipment (taggers, headbands, Medic Boxes), professional Mission Director operator(s), player safety briefings, session management, and full packdown. Travel within our standard service area is also included. See our Packages page for full inclusions per package.
Travel within approximately 1.5 hours of Port Stephens is free of charge — this covers Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and most of the Central Coast. Beyond that, we charge $99 per 30 minutes each way. We'll always confirm any travel fees as part of your quote, so there are no surprises.
Yes. A 50% deposit is required to confirm and secure your booking. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the event. We accept bank transfer and credit cards (a small surcharge may apply for card payments).
Yes. The packages are starting points. We can add extra taggers, more operators, extended play time, inflatable barricades — whatever your event needs. Just tell us when you enquire and we'll quote accordingly.
Yes — all prices listed on this website include GST. Your invoice will clearly show the GST component, making it easy for school P&C committees and councils to process.
Equipment & Safety
Our headbands contain infrared sensors that detect hits from the Cobra Phaser taggers. When a player is hit a certain number of times, they are "eliminated" for a short period before respawning. The headbands are lightweight and comfortable — a significant advantage over traditional chest vests, which can be heavy and difficult for smaller children to wear.
Yes. The infrared in our taggers is the same type used in TV remotes. No projectiles, no physical impact — nothing that can hurt anyone. It's used at schools and community events specifically because of how safe it is.
Laser tag is suitable for children aged approximately 6 and up. Younger children can participate with direct parental supervision. There is no upper age limit — adults and mixed-age groups often have the most fun! Our equipment and session formats are flexible to accommodate different age groups in the same event.
The number of simultaneous players depends on your package — the Party Pack and Group Session each support up to 10 players at once, while the Community Event package supports up to 20. We run back-to-back sessions, meaning we can process up to 100 players per hour in total throughput.
Yes — our Cobra Phaser taggers are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. They work in full daylight, unlike some older laser tag systems that require low-light conditions. This makes them ideal for daytime school fetes, outdoor festivals and park events.
On the Day
Typically 20–45 minutes depending on package size and venue layout. Our team arrives ahead of the agreed start time so setup is complete and we're ready to run before players arrive. We'll confirm your arrival/start times when confirming your booking.
A minimum area of roughly 20m x 20m works well for a standard game setup. We can adapt to smaller or larger spaces — we've run great games in school gymnasiums and sprawling oval settings. For outdoor events without natural cover, we bring inflatable barricades to create a proper play arena. Let us know your venue dimensions and we'll advise on the best setup.
Every booking includes 1 Mission Director who runs the arena, briefs players, and manages the session flow. For larger events where you need additional staff, extra Mission Directors can be added at $49/hr. We'll recommend the right staffing level when we put your quote together.
Absolutely — this is what we're built for. Our Festival package is designed for exactly this scenario. We run rapid back-to-back sessions with short turnaround times, processing up to 100 players per hour. School fetes, council community days and festivals regularly have us running for 4–6 hours straight. We'll plan the session schedule with you in advance.
None. Our Mission Directors brief every group on the rules and equipment before they start. Most people are comfortable within the first 30 seconds of play — it's intuitive. That's part of why it works so well at school fetes and community events where you have everyone from young kids to grandparents.
