Adventure group – Laser tag
After last month’s excellent drumming adventure, we’re going for something completely different: laser tag. Based in a genuine decommissioned Cold War Nuclear Bunker, this is your chance to demonstrate your combat skills!
Here’s what you need to know:
| Nature of activity | Laser tag |
| About the activity | Laser tag at UCZ’s Bunkertag is an indoor, team-based game set inside a former Cold War bunker. Players use lightweight, safe infra-red laser ‘guns’ to fire harmless beams at their opponents, scoring points by hitting electronic sensors worn on the body. Participants move through the atmospheric bunker arena whilst playing. Games can be played individually or in teams. There are three golden rules for safe play: no contact, no running and no climbing. |
