Each one will then be given a laser gun suit and a laser gun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And do not worry, mom, they are totally safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it is time to battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith an unlimited number of bullets rounding off their arsenal, players will make their way through a network of obstacles \u2013 illuminated by ultraviolet lights \u2013 to \u2018shoot down\u2019 their opponents,\u201d says Venter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce hit, participants need to reload. This will take a couple of seconds \u2013 leaving the particular player vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe game gets the adrenaline rushing, and the challenge, strategy and teamwork needed to win make it a fun activity for kids and adults alike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharpshooter or not, players emerge with excitement and giggles to examine their scores, listed under names such as Sniper, Kamakazi, Destroyer, Warrior Commando and Invulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why bring laser tag to Jeffreys Bay? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo that more people can enjoy the game,\u201d says Venter who had wanted to open a laser tag centre for years. \u201cLaser Game provides a safe and comfortable playing environment that will not be affected by the rain. Parents can watch their children play on the television screen in the coffee shop that is stocked with the best pancakes, waffles and milkshakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents not up for the battle, can enjoy the coffee menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlso in the pipeline are 12 old-school arcade games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, one can book Laser Game for all types of events, such as birthday parties, team building and corporate events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Battle Hours<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wednesdays: Group bookings only<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fridays: 15:00 to 21:00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturdays: 10:00 to 21:00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sundays: 10:00 to 14:00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>School holidays: 10:00 to 21:00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public Holidays: 10:00 to 21:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost is R30 per person per 20 minute session.
