SEASON UPDATE

SUMMER 2024

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Season!

With the dry weather upon us we will focus primarily on outdoor laser tag at Mt. Doug park. Special private games are possible for indoor laser tag, nerf or archery, but our online bookings will currently allow only outdoor Play “Anywhere” Laser Tag bookings.

To inquire about other custom booking options please contact us.

ABOUT US 

FUN for the Whole Family

At IRL Battle Arena we have over 3 decades of experience with archery, paintball and other live action combat sports. Drawing from that experience we create safe, family friendly games “In Real Life.”

The equipment we use includes inflatable bunkers, low-poundage bows shooting foam-tipped arrows, laser tag pistols and NERF blasters. All games are safe and use soft projectiles that do not hurt, making Battle Arena matches family friendly for adults and young kids alike.

The types of games that we offer run the full gamut of what players have come to expect from online shooters or IRL sports such as paintball, including Capture the Flag, Team Death Match and Battle Royale. No matter your age, we will get your adrenaline pumping!

SAVVY

I.R.L.?

“IRL” is an internet acronym for “In Real Life,” as in “sorry guys, I can’t play Fortnite tonight, I‘m going to Battle Arena with my IRL friends!

THE BENEFITS

IRL vs. ONLINE GAMING

EXERCISE!

Physical activity improves health, boosts mood and is the single best source of physical and emotional well being across all age groups and demographics. Childhood obesity is on the rise due to decreased physical activity among kids. Older folks need every excuse to get up from the desk to get their cardio pumping. Like anything else, screen time is fine in moderation, but debilitating in excess.

FRIENDSHIPS!

Decades of research in social psychology proves that face-to-face socialization boosts mood, improves health and powerfully contributes to feelings of wellbeing and happiness. Revive old relationships by organizing a private game, or meet new people by registering for one of our public Pick-Up Groups (PUGs).

QUICK SUMMARY

EVENTS WE HOST

Laser Tag

Pew pew! Our blasters shoot IR like your TV remote. Harmless. 100% non-contact. Accurate. Long range. No argument about who is hit!

Nerf Battles

Our Nerf blasters shoot harmless “Rival” foam balls at 100 feet/second. These ain’t yer grandad’s nerf guns. Great fun for kids of all ages!

Combat Archery

Actual 25# recurve bows shooting foam-tipped safety arrows. Full-face safety masks. Like paintball with bows, but without the  welts!

Challenge Duels

Challenge friends or co-workers to a good ‘ol fashioned head-to-head duel! Choose your weapon from Nerf, laser tag, or combat archery!

IRL Battle Arena's most commonly used outdoor public venue for play "anywhere" laser tag is the picnic area beside the Ash Road parking lot of Mt. Doug Park. This location has ample parking, excellent washrooms, picnic tables and an area of forest perfect for our games. Other locations are also welcome, upon request.
