Battlezone Paintball Ltd. offers an outdoor laser tag experience that feels like a real battlefield. The game zone has barricades, abandoned vehicles, and natural cover. These force players to think strategically rather than just rely on speed.
Unlike indoor arenas, the open space allows for flanking, ambushes, and long-range shots. Plus, the laser guns add to the intensity—precise, responsive, and easy to track.
Just remember that the sessions last an hour at £15 per person. There’s also the £20 party package, which includes food and drinks. If you’re coming in a group of 10 to 20, you can get private use of the field.

Opening Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Pricing: ££
No Limits Paintball and Laser offers a fast-paced, tactical laser tag experience. I like how accessible it is, just a minute’s drive—or walk—from Newcastle city centre.
This 15,000 sq. ft. indoor arena has multi-level platforms, barricades, and themed zones like No Limits City and Infected Town. Trust me, the ever-changing battleground is a thrilling experience.
But unlike standard laser tag, the high-tech guns come with recoil, making every shot feel more lifelike. Matches involve more than just shooting; they incorporate strategy and teamwork.
For the price, it starts at £12 per person, which isn’t that bad. They even have party packages with unlimited games, food, and drinks. I recommend this package for birthdays or corporate events.
Pro tip:
After an adrenaline-filled session, consider exploring the nearby Quayside area. It’s a vibrant spot with numerous restaurants and bars, perfect for unwinding and sharing stories from your laser tag battles.

War Room Laser Tag offers a fast-paced, tactical game in a neon-lit arena. Its layout has plenty of entry points and hiding spots, making each match challenging.
What sets it apart is its interactive elements. That’s right—certain targets in the arena can unlock bonuses like extra points, while effects like fog create challenges to keep the game unpredictable.
On top of that, game modes include team battles and mission-based challenges for casual and competitive players. This game is priced based on group size and private bookings for parties and corporate events.
However, it’s not recommended for individuals with health conditions, including epilepsy and vision impairments, as the strobe lights and fog effects may cause adverse reactions.

Contact: +441914553885
Opening Hours:
- Friday: 4:00 PM – 9:30 PM

Pricing: ££
Laserforce at Quasar Amusements offers a competitive laser tag experience with arcade-style scoring and live stat tracking. For added fun, their multi-level arena is equipped with glowing barriers, tight corridors, and hidden vantage points.
During the game, players can earn points for accurate shots while dodging incoming fire, creating a fast-paced but tactical game—interesting, right?
Aside from that, the Laserforce system features different player ranks that unlock new abilities as experience points increase. Their game modes range from standard solo battles to strategic team-based missions for a variety in every session.
However, I think the £5.50 is a bit expensive for a 20-minute game.
Pro tip:
You can enjoy a 3-session game for £15. I suggest you book that because it’s cheaper than paying for each round separately.
