Megazone

Don’t mess with BLADE! That is my rallying cry every time I go to this place. Blade is the «name» of one of the gun units, and IMO it has the greatest accuracy and distance. Seriously, if you want to take this zone to the next level, pick up Blade and get ready to destroy.
Megazone offers either 1 v all or team games, I prefer the former as you can team up with someone to get heaps of kills, then shoot them in the back a couple of times. Of course, this shows up later on the score sheet, and they might get a bit angry, but all is fair in war. Even if it is with invisible lazers.
The maze here is pretty cool, with multiple levels and dead ends as well as a spider web kind of thing in the middle. They play this oddly invigorating mid 90’s techno which you can pretty much memorise after a few games, but I think you can bring in your own music for them to play. A good place for a kids birthday party, but a way better place for a whole lot of drunk people to shoot at each other.

Laserstrike! You can do it here. What else do I need to say? Only that’s it crazy good fun, and if you’re not totally exhausted by the end of it from running up and down ramps, hiding from the other team, and ambushing your opponents, you’re not playing it right. This is one of the more fun laserstrike places I’ve been to, because it’s got two floors, plenty of hiding spots and full on ATTACK music. They also give you an extremely serious briefing, which is pretty funny considering what a dork you look like when you put on the harness.
Try and get a couple of groups together, it’s more fun when you know the people you are playing with and against, not to mention it being a pretty good way of finding out who is a take-​no-​prisoners, no-​mercy type, (yes, it’s always the quiet one) and who is a big scardy cat.

One of the best benefits of having kids is getting to be a kid yourself and Megazone is a great place to do just that. I never understand when parents don’t partake in childish activities — we even had a boys’ birthday party here where a dad went INSIDE the warzone to just stand and watch.
If you have no idea what all this is about, laserstrike is the preferred birthday party choice of boys (and some girls) aged 7 to 12 and probably older — we’re not there yet. You rally your troops, divide them into two teams, tool up and go to war. There’s an instruction video and staff on hand to help you get into your harness-​thing. The harness-​thing has light targets for your enemy to see and of course your laser gun.
You then go run around in the dark shooting each other and the team with the most points wins. Most excellent entertainment — especially getting those kids that are, let’s say, not your favourites.
So ring up, book your group and they’ll give you a room where you can do the food and cake thing along with two 20 minute game sessions. Get pizzas delivered and it’s simple and fairly affordable as far as these things go. Just make sure you join in — it’s bloody good exercise and wicked fun.
