How do I pick a venue?

Choose your city and a game to open the list with prices, photos and reviews. Narrow it down to indoor or outdoor, venues that come to you, or venues with reviews; sort by price or rating. To find the closest one, use the map.

How much does it cost?

The “from $” figure on a listing is the lowest price at that venue — usually per player or for the shortest session. Your total depends on group size, length and package: rental gear, paintballs or BBs, a party room. The full price list is on each venue’s page.

What is the minimum age?

Our guideline: 6+ — laser tag, nerf; 8+ — free-roam VR, archery tag, kids paintball, gel blasters; 12+ — paintball; 16+ — airsoft. Each venue sets its own age rules and waivers — check its page or call ahead. Players under 18 usually need a parent to sign the waiver.

Laser tag, paintball or airsoft — what’s the difference?

Laser tag uses infrared blasters and sensor vests or headbands: no paint, no bruises, great for kids and office teams. Paintball fires paint-filled balls — hits sting a little and a mask is required. Airsoft uses realistic replicas and 6 mm plastic BBs, mostly for teens and adults who like scenario games. In free-roam VR you walk through a real room while the world around you is virtual; kids paintball and gel blasters are the low-impact options.

Can I play without a team?

Yes. Open games are scheduled sessions you join solo or with a friend — teams are formed on site, and it usually costs less than renting the whole field.

Where can I host a birthday party or a team-building event?

Listings show amenities such as a party room, birthday packages, food and drinks, and parking. Filter the catalog by amenities to see only venues that fit, and tell the venue your headcount and the kids’ ages up front — they shape the package and the price.

Where does the venue information come from?

Venue descriptions are prepared by the Battleonix team, so listings stay comparable and free of ad copy. Prices and schedules come from the venues and their websites. Player reviews are published after moderation.
