It keeps a bigger group moving at once, works across a wider age range, and turns "who's next?" into "which team are you on?"
More than 100,000 Aussie kids visit laser tag centres every year. Now, you can deliver a fun laser tag experience to your place.
Jumping castle hire is still a party classic, and it's a fine choice for younger kids who just want to bounce.
But side by side, laser tag hire wins for groups looking for something more active and memorable, especially when ages or interests are mixed.
1️⃣ Laser Tag is the New Go-To for Parties: Laser tag hire replaces simple bouncing with team missions and tactics, so the fun lasts longer.
2️⃣ Everything You Need Delivered to Your Door: Laser Tag in a Box provides hassle-free Laser Tag Hire across Australia. Each pack includes: taggers, bandanas, a game guide, and optional gaming obstacles.
3️⃣ Customisable Fun for just about any Event or Theme: It works from age 6 right through to teens, staff parties, and hens or bucks celebrations, not just kids' birthdays.
As children outgrow jumping castles, laser tag offers an exciting, high-energy alternative that keeps them engaged with action-packed gameplay, tactical challenges, and endless fun.
Unlike the repetitive bouncing of castles, laser tag introduces dynamic missions that promote strategic thinking and teamwork.
Choose from a range of pack sizes and tagger styles to suit your event, whether that's a small backyard party or a big school holiday program.
Every pack includes safe infrared taggers, team bandanas and a simple game guide.
The taggers use infrared tech, the same kind found in a TV remote, so there are no projectiles and nothing to clean up afterward.
They work just as well indoors as out, and just as well after dark as in daylight.
Our inflatable obstacles work differently from a standard jumping castle, too. Inflate them, seal them, and they hold their shape for hours without a blower running the whole time.
It's easy to see why: people want to feel like a kid again at their own event. Laser tag taps into that same instinct, minus the need for a specially rated inflatable built to take adult weight. Because laser tag is already built around teams, tactics, and a bit of friendly rivalry,
it tends to suit mixed-age adult groups just as well, sometimes better. It's a genuine option for:
For bigger adult groups or workplace events, our Staffed Events team can run the whole thing for you, so nobody has to referee their own boss.
Popular game modes include Team Elimination, Capture the Flag, and Capture and Hold, available with our Game Box upgrade.
Whether your group wants fast-paced action or a slower tactical build, there's a mission to suit.
Visit our Games Page to find the right one for your event, whatever the theme, from superheroes to a full alien invasion.
Laser tag isn't just fun — it's beneficial for children's development. It promotes physical activity, enhances hand-eye coordination, and fosters teamwork and communication skills. According to experts, laser tag encourages children to play actively, improving their overall fitness and social interaction skills.

Your safety is the top priority. Our laser tag equipment uses infrared technology, similar to TV remotes, ensuring no harmful lasers are involved.
This makes it a safe option for kids of all ages.
There's no harmful laser involved and nothing that can hurt. That makes it a safe choice across the full age range, from a six-year-old's birthday to a full office team-building day.
Wind is one thing a bouncy castle can't shrug off, and it keeps making headlines in Australia: jumping castles becoming airborne in strong gusts is a recurring, well-documented safety issue, not a one-off.
Laser tag doesn't have this problem. If we do use inflatables, they are small, individual shapes. They are not large, continuous-blow bouncy houses.
There's no canopy to catch a gust, nothing that needs anchoring, and no wind-speed limit to watch on the forecast.
If your venue is exposed (an open oval, a park, a backyard with nothing to break the wind), that's a genuine factor to weigh up before you book any inflatable, whatever you choose.
Pick your date and the tagger style & size that fit your group, whether it's a small backyard party or a massive school event. We'll deliver everything fully charged and ready to play, anywhere in Australia.
Unpack your gear in a backyard, local park, hall, or forest. Set up inflatable obstacles for extra cover if you want to build a bigger arena.
Use the included game guide to split into teams and run classic games like Team Elimination, Capture the Flag, or Capture and Hold. Reset with the push of a button and go again.
The biz has earned a Telstra Business (Innovation) Award and the State Exporter of the Year (Arts/Entertainment) award at the Premier of Queensland's Export Awards.
Beyond equipment hire, Nicole and Peter also design taggers, run live Laser Skirmish sites, and export their technology and games worldwide with Battlefield Sports.
Forget jumping castles! Here's the high-energy party experience that will have kids begging for more! Rent our inflatable battlefield obstacles not for bouncing, but for running, hiding, and tactical gameplay. Pair them with our Laser Tag Hire and throw a party they'll remember for years.
Our inflatables come in various shapes and sizes, perfect for setting up a pop-up "maze" in your backyard or park. And the best part? No constant noisy blower is required. Just inflate, seal, and they'll stay up for hours of action-packed fun.

Yes. Laser tag is a popular alternative to adult jumping castle hire for hens and bucks parties, milestone birthdays, and corporate fun days, since it's built around teams and tactics rather than needing a specially rated inflatable for adult weight.
