A laser game is an indoor challenge where players use light-based game equipment, movement and tactics to score points. People often compare it with laser tag, but the exact experience can vary by venue.
At Power Play Sydney, the broader experience is based on interactive themed game rooms and 50+ challenges, so visitors can expect a fast, active and group-friendly format rather than a passive arcade session.
Because laser-style games involve movement, reaction and social play, they can also fit into active recreation. The Australian Government's 24-hour movement guidelines encourage people to break up sedentary time and include movement across the day.
