On arrival, you will need to complete a waiver if you haven't completed one online prior to your session. We’ll check you in and assign you to a team. You’ll be required to chronograph your gel blaster to make sure it shoots less than 300fps if you bring one. You’ll receive a compulsory safety induction at the start of each session. Each team will receive a scenario briefing based on the type of game you are going to play.

Laser, and Gel combat are similar in gameplay, however the difference is the equipment that is used. Laser fires a harmless beam which registers a hit on the opponent electronically and is completely safe. It is ideal for younger players who want to play our combat games but don't want to be hit.
Gelball uses a Gel blaster toy which fires a water bead that strikes the opponent registering a hit. The water beads break on impact however the players feel a tap from the gel indicating the hit. As such, gelball requires some special equipment to play, which includes face and eyewear protection, velocity restricted blasters and suitable gels. Gelball is safe and fully supervised by our experienced referees. If you want to go to the next level, try gelball. Similar to paintball skirmish, but on a lighter scale without the paint! We offer 2 options for Gelball which are standard Gelball and Low FPS Gelsoft which uses low velocity equipment softening the impacts, suitable for younger players and families.
