vacation care incursion ideas


Your Questions, Answered.


We’ve been running laser tag parties for over 25 years, so we’ve seen (and heard!) it all.

Here are the most common questions we get asked and the answers to help you plan an epic event.

Why You Love Us: Info for Teachers & Educators

Whether you’re an edcuator looking for a fun and safe activity, we’ve got you covered!

Our fun activities are designed to be safe, exciting, and perfect for all ages—plus, they’re a great way to build teamwork, coordination, and loads of smiles.

Why They Love Us: What Players Can Expect

Our players keep coming back because we deliver epic fun every time! Expect fast-paced action, easy-to-use gear, and game modes that suit all ages and skill levels.

You’re in for unforgettable games, plenty of laughs, and a seriously good time.

How Do the Bundles Work?


First, consider how many kids you have at your centre. If you have up to 48 kids, book in one of our 12 packs. If you have up to 96 kids, get a 24 pack.


Next, select the activities you want to book.


Then, if you hire Silent Disco + Laser Tag, that's a two day hire. These must be consecutive business days.


Then, we deliver everything you need to run the activities for your incursion. Set up and play as much as you like.


Finally, pack the gear back in the box for return. Simple!

Is the Laser Tag Easy to Set Up?

Yes! The gear comes ready to go. Just turn it on with the key. (We include the key on a lanyard.) Plus, we include step-by-step instructions and game ideas. There is also phone support if you need it.


 

Yes—absolutely! Despite the name Laser Tag, there are actually no real lasers involved. The game is perfectly safe, and best of all, it’s seriously fun and exciting!

Instead of using paintball pellets or gel blaster ammo, laser tag uses an invisible infrared beam—just like the one in your TV remote. That means there’s no mess, no pain, and no need for protective gear like goggles.

In other words, Laser Tag uses harmless infrared beams (no paintballs or projectiles) so it’s completely painless and eye-safe. 
Nope—laser tag won’t hurt a bit!

The "laser" is actually just invisible infrared light, like the kind your TV remote uses to change channels. There are no projectiles, no stings, and definitely no bruises.

Laser Tag is high-tech hide & seek, so it's all about fun. 
Yes, absolutely. Laser tag is a non-contact game. This makes it one of the safest activities for kids.

Better still, even though the sport is called "Laser Tag," there are no real lasers. Instead, our gear uses infrared technology (just like your TV remote).

The laser beam is invisible and 100% safe for the eyes.

Unlike paintball, gel blasters, or airsoft, there are no flying projectiles. That means zero bruising, zero pain, and zero mess.

Our laser taggers are designed to be robust but light enough for children to carry and run with comfortably. The handle is designed to be carried with two hands.

Pro Tip for Party hosts: Once you set up your pop-up maze in your backyard, safety is in your hands! Before the first game starts, double-check that the area is free of tripping hazards, such as loose hoses or garden tools.

What Playing Laser Tag Feels Like


Absolutely! Our laser taggers are weather-resistant and built tough, so playing in the rain is totally doable. Just remember to keep the gear switched off and out of the rain when you're not using it to save the battery. That said, the equipment isn’t waterproof, so while a bit of rain is fine, they can’t be submerged in water.

Our laser tag gear is great for school-age kids and up. Our laser tag kit will delight the preppies (about 5 years old) and excite the big kids.

This is a game for the young, and the young-at-heart!

Nope! We don’t use the traditional bulky vests. Since everyone’s different shapes and sizes, we’ve kept it simple and comfy. Some of our laser taggers have sensors just on the barrel, while others have sensors on the barrel plus a soft, adjustable headband. Easy and hassle-free!

Shipping and Delivery


 

StarTrack is used to deliver laser tag rentals across Australia. Orders typically arrive 3–5 business days before the event. Be sure to check the expected delivery date on the confirmation email.

Return collection with StarTrack is also arranged for the business day after the event.

Someone must be present at the delivery address between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on all relevant days — including delivery, backup days, and collection. A business address is recommended for this reason.

Note: Rentals to NT, SA, WA, and remote outback areas must be booked at least 3 weeks in advance to allow enough courier time.
 

Yes! The more details you provide about your delivery location, the smoother the whole process will be.

Business Address: Let us know the business name and where to deliver — reception, loading dock, or building concierge.

Residential Address: Make sure drivers can access your property. If you’re in a secure building, please ensure someone will be home on delivery day.

School Address: If delivery isn’t to the main School Office, please give us detailed directions to your exact location on campus.

We use StarTrack, which is owned by Australia Post, to deliver our laser tag rentals across Australia. While they aim to deliver packages directly to your door, some regional and rural areas might receive deliveries at their local post office instead.

This usually happens if the address regularly collects mail from the post office or if access to the property is tricky for the delivery drivers.

If this happens, you’ll get a card notifying you that your rental is ready for pickup, plus an email update from StarTrack with the details.

Yes. Someone must be present to sign for both the drop-off and return collection of your laser tag rental. The courier drivers cannot leave the boxes unattended.

f you won't be home, please give us an alternative address (like your work). Once shipped, we cannot change the delivery address. So please let us know early if your plans change. 

Can I Pick Up the Boxes?

Absolutely! You’re welcome to pick up and drop off the boxes yourself to save on courier fees.

Just a heads up—if you’re ordering a large laser tag rental or adding inflatable hire, you’ll need enough space to transport the gear. For the box dimensions, click here.

We’re here to make your laser tag event run smoothly! Whether you need help before, during, or after your hire, our team is ready to support you every step of the way.


Yes! We want to make sure your party goes smoothly. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm (Queensland time), excluding public holidays. You can reach us at 1800 266 587 during these times. For anything urgent outside office hours, we also have an after-hours emergency mobile number to help you out.

Impressed Other Parents

Seamus just turned 10. The boys had an absolute ball! They all agreed it was the best party they’d ever been to. Even the other parents were impressed! The level of customer service was outstanding right from the very first phone call. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was explained to me very clearly. The staff willingly changed my pick-up time when I was delayed, and the demonstration was done enthusiastically and patiently. They even put the boxes in the car! Best customer service in ages! Keep up the great work — thanks again!

How do I book Laser Tag?

Booking is easy! Just get in touch with us via phone or online to secure your date and gear.


What's the cancellation policy?

For full details, please check out our Terms and Conditions.


To ensure we can set, check, pack, and deliver your rental box to you, ready for your event, we recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance. But if you’re planning during school holidays, be sure to book early! These are our busiest times, and we often get fully booked out.

Booking times vary by location. In other words, if you are located in a rural or regional area, please allow yourself more time. 

If you require an urgent hire, please give us a call, text, or jump on the chat to discuss availability. 

When you hire from Fun Activity Hire, you get one full day per activity you book. For example, if you hire Laser Tag and Silent Disco, that gives you two consecutive days of fun.

We deliver the equipment a few business days before your event and arrange courier pickup the next business day after. That means you have the entire day to play without feeling rushed.

Because all activities are delivered in the same shipment, it keeps things simple and hassle-free for your team.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to hire the fun activity sets for longer periods. We offer rates for addition days—just give us a call, and we’ll help find the best option for you.

Yes! We do offer discounts for big rental bookings — we love big gigs! Our biggest hire so far was for 550 phasers. Get in touch and see what we can do for you!

We require a 50% deposit to lock in your reservation. The final payment is due approximately 14 days prior to your event date. Payment must be completed before your gear is shipped.


Equipment Questions

Damages/Costs of Replacements?

Good news — this gear is pretty tough! But if something does get broken, you’ll be charged for any damaged or lost items as outlined in our Terms and Conditions


Our equipment is commercial-grade and built tough. But we understand that accidents can happen.

Each rental includes basic insurance coverage. Minor wear and tear is covered. There's no need to pay a bond. Significant damage may incur additional fees. 

We recommend supervising younger kids during the gameplay. Read our Ts & Cs for the full details.
 


How do I inflate the Inflatable Barricades?

An electric air blower is included in your inflatable hire pack. Each inflatable only takes a few minutes to inflate fully.

 

 

Every Laser Tag in a Box hire includes laser tag blasters with integrated sensors, a controller, spares, and game props. You'll also get keys to turn all the units on or off. The kits include easy-to-run, pre-programmed games, simple setup guides, and delivery Australia-wide. If you're getting the gear delivered via a courier, we'll also book that in for you (both ways) and track it all the way.

There is no need for Wi-fi or the Internet. Better still, the equipment comes with fully charged batteries so that you can play & play. (Oh, and we will include a battery charger, but, honestly, most people never need to touch it!). There are no ongoing software fees, no downloads required, and no technical expertise needed.

Just unpack, switch on, and play! Laser tag rentals are perfect for vacation cares, schools, camps, parties, and reward days.

The range of the laser taggers depends on several factors. The Cobra Lite, equipped with a peep sight, can shoot up to 50 metres in daylight. The Cobra Striker and the Awesome Cobra with an integrated red-dot scope can shoot up to 80 metres even in bright sunlight. If the day is cloudy or if you are playing in twilight, the range can be extended. Indoors, the range is more than enough for exciting games. The range setting can be switched from outdoor to indoor mode to reduce infrared bounce.

Most hires are for one day. That's right, you get the gear all day. BONUS: When you rent for Saturday, you get Sunday for free. You can book extra days or even a week. Longer hires are popular for school holidays or adventure camps.

 

Laser Tag Kit

Your taggers will comes pre-set with standard software settings to make your event simple to run. 



For Vacation Cares and Fetes!

This setting makes setup quick and easy—no need for game prep, just jump straight into our simple “Team Elimination” game.

Sounds you’ll hear include: “tagged,” “deactivated,” and “You’re deactivated, return to base.”

Team Setup: Red vs Blue

Half of your hired laser taggers will be set to the Red Team, and the other half to the Blue Team. Players can only tag members of the opposite team — Red tags Blue, and Blue tags Red.

When you turn the key, the taggers will automatically power up with the correct team settings. Easy!

Heaps Better Than Expected

I could not believe how easy it was to order and receive the game. Everything was very efficient, and we even received the pack a day before we were expecting it. The taggers were heaps better than what we were expecting.

Delivery and Return Guidelines

Do I need to do the paperwork for the courier return?

No, all the necessary paperwork for your return shipment is included in the box. We will handle the courier booking for you, so you don’t need to arrange anything. This service is included in the price. If you have any questions, feel free to call us.


When can we expect our delivery?

Deliveries typically occur between 9 am and 5 pm, two business days before your event. We use StarTrack, but they can’t provide an exact time. We aim to deliver a few days ahead of your event to allow for any last-minute issues.

Your boxes will be scheduled for collection the next working day after your event. Please ensure someone is available at the address you provide to sign for the delivery or collection. Alternatively, we can arrange for you to collect or return the boxes at your local StarTrack depot. Let us know if you're interested in this option.


Do I have to be home for the courier delivery & collection?

Yes, someone must be at the address to sign for the delivery and collection of the boxes; they cannot be left unattended. If you won’t be home, please provide an alternative address (e.g., a business address). If you need to ship to a different address, please let us know before the equipment is dispatched, as we cannot change it once the shipment has left our premises.

Boxes

Can I Get a Discount?

We offer incentives like bonuses and specials for repeat hires. If you want to check if you’re eligible or book for multiple dates, just ask our friendly staff.

Yes! You can buy commercial-quality laser tag sets from Laser Tag in a Box. Just a heads up — this gear is commercial grade and costs quite a bit more than Nerf guns. Give us a call to see what we can do for you.
