Laserquest

Can your team outshoot and outscore the enemy? Laserquest will test your skill at sending an infra red beam at a member of the opposing team each time he/she emerges from hiding – and you have to protect yourself from being hit by them. You can hide behind a series of obstacles, and once the winning team has taken all the other team’s lives, you can start all over again!

Laserquest features one 2 -hour session at Sullivan Upper.  Operated by ESCARMOUCHE- PAINTBALL & LASERQUEST based at Shane’s Castle in Randalstown. Escarmouche have offered Paintball courses for the past 14 years but Laserquest is new.

Laserquest is fantastic fun and offers the following -

• you fire a safe beam which operates like your TV remote control
• you do not need to wear eye or face protection, and you are not hurt in any way when ’shot’ by another player
• you are not charged for the ammo you use – you can have as much as you like until the session ends
• you are given more than one life per game – depending on the mission, you are given a number of lives, just like a computer game
• your laser gun is accurate at long range (approx. 200m) – if you can see them, you can shoot them
• there are no disputes about having been hit or not – your laser has great light and sound effects, letting you and everybody around know you have been hit

Age? 8-14

Where? Sullivan Upper

When? Week beginning July 30
