What to Expect at Megazone Bergen

The Equipment and Gameplay
For each game, players wear vests and hold laser guns equipped with sensors that track hits on opponents. You can aim to hit targets on their vests or the guns themselves, earning points for accuracy. The real-time scoring displayed on your laser gun gives instant feedback, encouraging competitive play and strategic movements.
The two rounds, each lasting 20 minutes, are intense but manageable. The pace is brisk, and players can choose to team up or go solo in an all-against-all match. One review mentions, “I loved the way you can see your score updating constantly, it kept me motivated to hit more targets.”
The Arena and Atmosphere
The arena’s design promotes both hiding and attacking, with plenty of obstacles and hiding spots. The music, combined with smoke effects, creates an immersive environment that heightens the excitement. Many players appreciated how the arena feels both mysterious and energetic — perfect for a group looking for a memorable adrenaline rush.
Practical Considerations and Tips
The activity is quite flexible: you get two games of 20 minutes each for $26 per person, which we think offers good value considering the high-tech gear and lively environment. It’s worth arriving a few minutes early to get instructions, and during busy times, groups might be split into smaller squads.
While the experience is suitable for most ages over 7, it’s not designed for very young children. If you’re planning a birthday or group event, it’s a fun way to get everyone involved and active. Since no food or drinks are included, plan to go afterward to a nearby café or restaurant.
