What is laser tag? It sounds scary eh? Remember we used to get reminded by our parents not to play with laser because it can make us blind. Don’t worry the laser used is user-friendly and it’s harmless. Laser tag is suitable for all ages but the age recommended is at least 6 years old and above due to the heavy packs young children have to carry and of course there's no gender restriction at all! It's suitable for both genders. Laser tag is a high-tech sport where players wear computerized vests or packs and handheld “phasers” attempt to achieve the highest or winning score by zapping opponents players, base stations and other targets within a playing arena or maze based on different game modes.

Jacqueline fully-equipped with the computerized vest and phaser.

Let’s go through the kind of equipments and system they used in this game. They used the NEXUS PRO GEN II System which is the world most advance laser tag gaming system. The computerized vest and the phasor weights only 2.4kg and it has 2 speakers on the shoulders, another 2 on the guns playing full MP3 sound effects which enhances the game. This system is also fitted with 6 vibrators on all hit zones to make sure that you “feel” it when you are hit! BAMMM!

The computerized vest and phaser!

For first time players, there will be a 5 minute briefing given by Laser Battle staff where they will explain the operation of the packs and arena devices as well as outlining the safety rules inside the battle arena. Each mission consists of 10 - 15 minutes of actual arena time but sometimes it depends on the management where you can get to play longer if there's no other customers!

LED hangers for the vests.

Phasers! Notice there're different names on different phasers in order to recognize your phasers on the scoreboard! ^^

Laser tag required at least 2 players and can accommodate up to maximum 18 players! You can organize a match between you and your friends and family! How awesome is that huh? :D It helps to bond relationship between your friends and family! There are over 40 game modes available in Laser Battle for you to choose!

Our group chooses the the most popular and played game modes which is the Standard Solo, Standard Team and Human Flag. Other than that, Laser Battle also offers modes such as Capture The Flag, KA-Boom!, Midnight Madness, Team Midnight madness and many more!

To compare the prices between paintball and laser tag, it's very obvious that paintball is much more expensive compared to laser tag while laser tag is more AFFORDABLE for students like us! We found out that paintball costs us around RM80 or more for 200 pellets or more or less depends.

Laser Battle is DIFFERENT! They offer the MOST AFFORDABLE price for members and non members and it's worth the price! TRUST ME! Furthermore, they even provide a private party room for people who is interested in doing events or parties in Laser Battle itself where they can get 3 games per person for only RM50 including foods!
