Laserforce Auckland is a laser tag centre at 21b Link Dr in Wairau Valley, North Shore City, part of a long-running laser tag brand that began in New Zealand, with a 4.6 Google rating. Laser tag is a contact-free game: phasers tag by light rather than projectiles, so mixed ages and first-timers can play side by side, which is why birthday parties fill the weekend slots at most centres. Regulars book peak times ahead, arrive early for the briefing, and wear dark clothes and enclosed shoes, since arenas are dark, foggy mazes where a pale shirt makes you an easy target. Arena quality varies widely, and a multi-level space with real cover is usually the mark of a good venue. Games generally finish with individual scorecards, which settles team rivalries neatly. For North Shore families, a 4.6-rated arena tucked off Link Dr in Wairau Valley is a handy indoor call for birthdays and wet weekends.
