Lasertag W5: Planet Quest
Saturday 31 March 2012 - 02 September 2012
Saturdays & Sundays 2 - 5pm
W5 is conscripting Intergalactic Discovery recruits to join our deep space exploration unit. As part of the training programme you will learn about infrared technology, distant galaxies and the discovery of new worlds. You then develop team-building skills with your fellow recruits as you venture onto an exoplanet surface for a high intensity Laser Tag training mission.
Your journey begins in StarLab, an immersive introductory learning zone with interactive exhibits and interplanetary information on infrared and it's use in astronomy, space exploration and our daily lives. You can also discover how researchers from Queen's University explore the stars.
Recruits are then tested to see if they are up to the physical & mental challenge of exploring the far reaches of space. Separating into two teams, the fearless recruits are taken to the Starships briefing room to learn about their training mission. Equipped with state-of-the-art infrared phasers and sensors the teams are dispatched onto the planets surface for a fast and furious Laser Tag battle. Team members will use thinking skills and exceptional judgment, as well as stealth and cunning to work as a team in order to triumph. Only then can recruits become fully-fledged members of W5's Intergalactic Discovery Team!
This event is recommended for 8 year olds and over.
