The Power of Thought

If it’s to be, it is up to me… Now is the time to take action!

*Additional, refundable deposits may be required for full arena drawings.

Getting Started

Laser Tag Academy has been designed to enable serious, committed attraction developers who wish to diminish the amount of uncertainty and risk, and open their own turnkey, self-managed laser tag attraction. For those serious developers – we offer this service for free, with deposit.

Initial Development Deposit

Materials and services above are of value, and a large expense of our time, therefore, we request a $2,500 initial partnership development deposit. That initial deposit is held, then refunded towards your arena build-out and equipment purchase.

This is the fastest, most cost-effective and confident way for new laser tag developers to complete local feasibility, develop a rock-solid business plan and get started playing games. As we work through the above modules and market feasibility, if that process should reveal a market that is not compatible with your business goals or the ARENA-X attraction, refunds on the deposit will be made, depending on the development/work done at that point in time.
