/ Location, building and laser game arena:
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO START MY LASER GAME BUSINESS?
In general, we recommend starting your business in an area where the population within 30 km is more than 80,000. Additionally, it is best to start your business in an area with a younger population. In addition to population and demographics, you need to consider accessibility, traffic, parking and competitors in your area. For further information, see our guideline "Laser Game, how to find the right location".
HOW CAN I CHOOSE THE RIGHT BUILDING FOR MY LASER GAME PLACE?
There are many aspects such as cadastral category of the building, public image of the building, cost of rent, foot traffic, condition of the building, size and space, ... that need to be considered. For more information, see our guideline "Laser Game, How to Find the Right Venue".
DO I HAVE TO BUY THE PROPERTY OR DO YOU RECOMMEND ME RENTING IT?
We cannot give you any recommendations in this regard. Depending on your budget and financial planning (business plan), you can decide to buy or rent the property. If you are concerned that the arena may damage the building, rest assured that the XRAID maze will prevent any damage to the walls and floor.
HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED FOR MY LASER GAME ROOM?
There is no direct answer to this question. The answer to this question depends on the investment amount, business size, different amenities, and different games and attractions your arena may wish to provide. Here we give you information on the minimum space required for your play area and for the Laser Game room. For an independent attraction you need a minimum of:
- Small arena (10 - 19 pieces of equipment): 150 - 200 m2 for the playing area and 280 - 380 m2 in total for your attraction.
- Medium arena (20 - 29 pieces of equipment): 250 - 300 m2 for the playing area and 430 - 540 m2 for your attraction.
- Large arena (30 - 40 pieces of equipment): 350 - 400 m2 for the playing area and 590 - 710 m2 for the attraction.

WHAT ROOMS AND SPACES DO I NEED IN MY LASER GAME PLACE?
You can include different spaces and rooms with different functions in your attraction. Some of these spaces such as play area, dressing area, reception, waiting room, parking and toilets are absolutely necessary while other spaces such as bar and food court, event rooms and arcade games will help you increase your profit (Money Makers). Furthermore, other rooms such as meeting room, offices, service and maintenance room are not necessary or directly increase your profits but will help you manage your place much better. For more information on the function and dimensions of these rooms, please see our guidelines “Laser Game, How to divide spaces”
I HAVE A SPACE OF XXX SQM, CAN I START A LASER GAME BUSINESS?
If you already have a family entertainment center with reception, waiting room, ... having 150-200 m2 is enough to add Laser Game to your business. If you plan to start an entertainment business, you need a minimum of 300 m2 to set up your Laser Game attraction. We can consult you free of charge to evaluate your space for a Laser Game activity.
I HAVE A SPACE OF XXX SQM, HOW MANY EQUIPMENT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
We recommend considering at least 10m2 per player for your playing area. For example, if you have a playing area of 200 m2, we recommend purchasing 20 pieces of equipment (rifle and armor). Larger playing areas can accommodate more players. For more information, see our guidelines “Laser Game, How to divide spaces”
CAN I DESIGN MY OWN LASER GAME ARENA?
Yes, but under certain conditions. You must coordinate with us on the measurements and the main elements and aspects of the arena. But considering our experience designing arenas provides a high level of playability and interactivity, and given that we do it for FREE as part of your venue setup, you should have a good reason to do it yourself!
