Planet Laser in Bury St Edmunds boasts one of the UK’s largest multi-level laser tag arenas, spanning an impressive 6,000 square feet across four levels. Perfect for ages 6 and up, our arena promises unique, immersive battles every time. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, a family outing, a corporate team-building event, or even a stag or hen do, Planet Laser provides an unforgettable experience.
Equipped with the latest and most advanced laser tag system, the Laserforce Gen 8, players are transported to a whole new world as they gear up with high-tech battlesuits and powerful phasers. With up to 40 players in the arena per session, two teams go head-to-head in an exhilarating battle to claim victory.
What is Laser Tag?
Laser tag is an interactive combat-style game where players use infrared-emitting guns to tag opponents and score points. Unlike paintball, laser tag is painless, mess-free, and suitable for all ages, making it a fantastic choice for families, friends, and team-building events.
How Does Laser Tag Work?
- Players wear sensor-equipped vests that detect hits from laser guns.
- The game takes place in a darkened arena with obstacles, ramps, and hiding spots.
- Points are earned by hitting opponents’ sensors while avoiding being tagged.
- Various game modes, such as team battles and free-for-all, add variety and excitement.
Session Duration and Game Setup
Each laser tag session lasts 15 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for briefing and gearing up, making each game a 20-minute experience. We schedule 20-minute breaks between games, giving players time to recharge. With setup included, two sessions take about 1 hour, and three around 1 hour 40 minutes. Our arena fits up to 40 players in two teams of 20. Whilst there is no set minimum of required players, we need enough players to make up two teams. If needed, our marshalls can join in to bring up numbers. Smaller groups will be paired with others, and we aim to match ages where possible.
We recommend laser tag for children over 6 years old and 1.1 metres tall for a comfortable fit in the battlesuit. Confident younger children can join with parental supervision. Feel free to visit and view the arena before booking to ensure it suits your child. Wear sensible footwear like trainers and comfortable, stretchy clothing. Dark clothes are recommended, as UV lights make white clothing glow, making you easier to spot.
