What do I bring?

• For all sessions bring insect repellent, covered shoes and a water bottle. Many players also bring their own two way radios for team communications and to listen in on the enemy's channel. If it is your first time make sure you bring completed and appropriately signed membership forms.
  
• For the Under 10's, you must wear your own long pants (dark camouflage is best). We will supply a long sleeve cammo shirt.
  
• For Over 10's a complete camo coverall outfit is provided so we recommend that you come in shorts and a t-shirt and then pull our clothes over the top.
  
• We recommend that you don't bring a hat, because we provide special hats to all players to designate teams and to mount the sensors on.
  
• It is a condition of play that every must wear covered shoes. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: NO SHOES = NO PLAY!!!
  
• Print out the membership form, read and sign it before you come out. This will save a lot of time and means that you can start playing sooner. If you are under 18 the form must be signed by your parent or legal guardian. CLICK HERE FOR THE FORM.

What if it rains?

We play, unless it is a thunderstorm. If we have to abandon play, we refund pro-rata on time. Playing in the rain is very authentic :)

How do you die??, Once you die is that it, end of your day??

No, that would be way too hard! We are not quite that mean...really! When you are "killed" you go back to your base and get re-spawned. A "re-spawn" is when you have been tagged out, your gun is automatically disabled and you return to your start point where the referee turns your gun on with his/her key and throws you back into the game. In the more advanced missions there are limited respawns.

How do I know your dead?

The guns says on the display "dead", you gun won't work anymore and there is a loud death sound when you take the last hit point of damage reducing your health to zero. When a player dies, he must remove his/her hat immediately.

How do I know you have hit someone?

Generally you can hear the ouch noise the opponents guns make when the player is hit and you can hear this at 40+ metres. Plus, all our Laser Skirmish guns are fitted with the latest technology player feedback system. There is a LED in each head sensor that flashes when the unit takes a hit and stays on when the player is “dead”. During the time the gun is disabled on a hit, the hit light flashes and therefore the firing player knows to hold their next shot until the flashing stops.

Which missions do we get to play?

We play a variety of missions to suit all players.If you are organising a private group booking we can design missions to suit you.

Here's a sample of some of the game scenarios:

• Death Match - Eliminate the other team - this mission each team gets unlimited replacements/re-spawns . Replacements are taken from your base and everyone gets 9 hit points (hits they can take before they must go back and get a replacement). The mission is over after a pre-set time (usually 30 minutes), the team that has taken the least replacements wins. This mission is great warm-up because every player, plays the whole mission and its very forgiving of mistakes.
  
• Blow Up The Base - This mission is played twice because one team is the attacker and one team is the defender, so we want each team to try both positions. This mission is to blow the Claymore Mine at the base within 25 minutes, the next team has to beat the time set by the last. No Respawns after 20 minutes so it can get really interesting in the last 5 minutes of the game!
  
• Evacuate The General. Generals are selected from each team. This is generally the birthday boys or girls. The aim is to get the Generals from A to B while keeping him or her alive for 15 minutes - when there is one minute to go an announcement is made and the general must get back within 60 seconds (and with at least 1 "life" left) to win. The General wears a bright vest to make him /her visible in the field.
  
• Last Man Standing. This is FUN! It's a crazy shoot 'em down battle - form an alliance with your mates and then shoot 'em in the back to win!
  
• Got an idea for a mission - let us know!
  

How much does 1 game cost? What do you get?...

We don't charge on a single game basis, we charge per session, which is usually 2 1/2 hours (the first half hour is your mission briefing, kit out, photo opportunity etc). The current price list can be found on our Sessions and Prices page Sessions and Prices page
