From family fun to
corporate challenges
If you’re looking for a venue
to have some group-based fun –
look no further than Laser Strike.
The concept of Laser Strike is
simple - they equip you with a
dual weapon phaser pack and
send you into the gaming arena
where you choose your own
tactics as to how you are going to
play, to tag as many opponents
as you can all while maintaining
your own shield health.
The Laser Strike arena is themed as an
‘ancient ruins’ and is bathed in black lights
that create an awesome sensory response
with the fluorescent colours. The music
adds to this ambience and creates an
exciting atmosphere for people of all ages.
Laser Strike is a locally-owned
business run by Gary Hancock and
his small but super-friendly crew.
The motto is simple – to continue
being the best group entertainment
in Christchurch.
They host all sorts of groups,
teams, businesses and families.
Whether it’s for a birthday party or
just a fun activity (yes, you will need
to move), then Laser Strike is such a
great option.
Its size really does set it apart and
they can easily host up to 40 players at a
time. For smaller groups, they will either
add you in with others or they have a suite
of boutique and tactical games.
