Logan Laser Skirmish Logo and Images

Logan Laser Skirmish

27 Grecian Street, Logan Central QLD 4114

Laser skirmish is "electronic paintball". Laser skirmish is an outdoor combat team sport much like paintball, but without the bruises. It is fast paced and extreme. Unlike the old style arena indoor games you might have heard of, we play outdoors. Each team is equipped with infrared weapons and sensor caps. Players shoot an invisible and harmless infrared beam, similar to the ones uses in your TV remote control.

We play stand-alone missions like “Capture the Flag”. Plus we are able to adjust the number of health points needed to "die" .

Laser Skirmish is similar to any role-playing or interactive computer game each player takes on the role of a fictional character. You play your character much as you would in any role-playing/virtual setting but even more so. Instead of saying what actions your character takes you actually take those actions for real. Game mechanics are in place for handling difficult situations but for the duration of the game you are the person you are portraying.

If you like extreme sports, paint ball (skirmish), or computer games you will love Laser Skirmish.

The number of battlefields around Australia and around the world are growing all the time.
