Texas, US-based entertainment franchise Alley Cats has contracted design experts Creative Works for a laser tag arena in a new 60,000sq.ft facility in Hurst, Texas.
In addition to laser tag, the facility has added rock climbing, bowling and laser frenzy to its existing mini-golf location.
This is the third site Creative Works has designed for the growing franchise. “They wanted to do a different theme for their second location and they wanted to do something unique that really hadn’t been seen much in the laser tag side of things before,” said Creative Works president Armando Lanuti. “So we did a really cool custom steampunk theme for Alley Cats and another one of our clients at the same time.”
Upon entering the arena, players must navigate through brick and sheet metal barriers to square off against opponents. Additionally, grids, barrels and podiums with moving propellers act as obstacles and improvised cover for players under siege. Custom airbrushed window murals line the walls with the silhouettes of Victorian-style buildings. A tall, ornate clock tower sits in the centre of the room as players weave around the prop during game play.
Lanuti said: “They’ve also purchased multiple laser frenzy games from us and other attractions over the years. At its original location we built a custom sci-fi theme with a kind of 1950s’ motif because they were called Alley Cats.”
