Laser tag gives your family entertainment center (FEC) an extra activity to sell alongside bowling, karting and indoor play. It helps turn a short visit into a complete outing, with more for guests to do at the same location.
For an FEC, that means more options for combination packages and larger group bookings. With straightforward operation and a low staffing requirement, laser tag can be an efficient addition to your venue.
More to do means more reasons to stay
If visitors have finished their main activity, laser tag gives them something else to do before heading home. A group that came for karting might add a game, then stay for food or a drink afterwards.
Laser tag also lends itself to a second or third game. Players want to improve their score or get a rematch against friends or colleagues. Switching between team games and individual play adds variety, making several rounds a useful part of a birthday party or company outing.
You can build this into your offer from the start. A clearly priced combination of two activities and a meal makes it easy for guests to book a longer visit. Available sessions can also be offered to people already at the venue.
The activities need to fit together in your schedule, with enough time for groups to move between them and enjoy their food.
Easy to explain and run with one operator
Players receive their equipment, get a short briefing and are ready to play. The rules are easy to explain, so groups can get started quickly.
Our laser tag systems can be run by one operator. They brief the players and start the game, then prepare the next group while the current session runs automatically. Staff do not need to control the game throughout the session.
The software is straightforward to use, and the same routine can be followed for each group. That makes training easier, including for venues with part-time staff or teams that change regularly.
Fast return on investment
With 25 vests and four rounds per hour, you can accommodate up to 100 player sessions per hour. Your actual capacity will depend on game length, briefings, changeovers and the layout of your venue.
Being able to serve larger groups with one operator helps keep staffing costs manageable. Quick changeovers allow more sessions within your opening hours, while low-maintenance equipment helps limit downtime and repair work.
Together, these factors can support a fast return on investment. The result will depend on your investment, pricing and bookings, as well as how you include laser tag in your other packages.
Start with an arena from 100 m²
A MiniTag (gun-only laser tag) arena can start from just 100 m², while an UltraTag (vest-and-gun laser tag) arena starts from 250 m². This makes it possible to add laser tag to an existing venue without needing a large extension.
More space gives you room for larger groups and a more varied arena layout. That can make games more engaging and increase the potential revenue per session.
The available space and layout will help determine which system and group size work best for your venue.
Use the arena throughout the day
MiniTag and UltraTag let you serve different audiences in the same arena. MiniTag is a lightweight, gun-only system suitable for children from age 4. UltraTag provides the vest-and-gun experience for players from age 6. Both systems are compatible and can also be used together in the same game.
That gives you room to plan around the visitors you receive at different times:
- MiniTag sessions for younger visitors and birthday parties during daytime play.
- Family groups in the afternoon and earlier in the day at weekends.
- Company outings and adult groups in the evenings and at weekends.
You can adapt the equipment and sessions to each group, giving you more opportunities to use the arena across your opening hours.
Equipment and support for daily use
In a busy FEC, equipment gets used by one group after another. It needs to be durable, easy to operate and simple to maintain.
UltraTag Lasergames develops professional laser tag systems for that daily use. Reliable hardware and straightforward software help staff keep sessions moving. When something needs attention, remote support and repair services help you get it resolved.
We work with you from the initial plan through to everyday operation, helping you choose a setup that suits your space, visitors and team.
