General Questions

Where are you located?

We're located in North East Calgary, near the Calgary Airport.
We're just North of Deerfoot City, accessible off Deerfoot Trail from 64th Ave NE or Airport Trail.
We're next door to our friends at Flying Squirrel Trampoline.

Do we have to make a reservation to come?

For Laser Tag, you have 2 options- pre-purchase your tickets in advance to specific games, guaranteeing your spot in those game times, or- drop-in and we'll put you in the next available game.

At peak times (like weekends), we get quite busy, so pre-purchasing it always a good idea if you know what time you want to come and how many people are in your group.

How old do players have to be?

We strongly suggest ages 6 and up, because we know every 6 year old will have a great time. Kids under that age are sometimes afraid of the dark or can't follow the rules. We have the occasional mature 5 year old play, but please be aware that we can't offer refunds if they quit the game or change their mind.
We do require every player to be taller than 40".

Does it hurt? Is it dangerous?

No, and no. The lasers are 100% harmless and cannot burn or damage eyes. And as long as the safety rules are followed (mostly the no running, crouching, lying down or physical contact ones), there's no way to get hurt in the arena.

How long is a game of laser tag?

Each Laser Tag Game takes around 25 minutes from start to finish (safety briefing, getting gear, playing, getting scorecards). The actual playing time is 15 minutes.
If you do multiple games, there's about a 10 minute break between each game. Most people do 2 or 3 games (60-90 minutes in total).

Are waivers required for Laser Tag?

No, only for Mini Paintball.

Can you bring the laser tag equipment to my house or venue?

Unfortunately not. Our equipment can only be used in our arenas.

Mini Paintball Questions

Does it hurt?

No! Mini Paintball guns shoot smaller paintballs at half the speed of traditional paintball. The kids will feel getting hit, but it won't hurt.

Are waivers required?

Yes, Mini Paintball requires waivers to be signed by the parent of all the players. You can complete it online here, download a PDF here or complete them in the facility when you drop your child off.

Can adults or younger kids play?

Unfortunately not. Mini Paintball is only suitable for ages 8 to 12.
