Aftershock: An Easy Way to Add Tactical Laser Tag to Your Lineup
Laser tag has always been about adrenaline and bringing people together. But what if you could take the experience your guests already know and turn up the intensity?
Meet Aftershock: A New Way to Experience Tactical Laser Tag
Aftershock is designed to give existing laser tag operators a new way to reach adults and competitive players without rebuilding their arena or completely changing how they operate. By combining the iCOMBAT Valkyrie, mission-based games, and Shock Belts, Aftershock transforms a familiar laser tag environment into an immersive tactical laser tag experience.
Get the Adults Back
One of the biggest opportunities for existing laser tag venues is reaching players who may have grown up with laser tag but no longer see it as an experience designed for them.
Aftershock gives the 18+ crowd a reason to return.
The experience is designed around mission-based games and incorporates iCOMBAT Shock Belts to add another level of intensity. A complete Aftershock experience can be run in 30 minutes or less, creating something that feels distinctly different from a venue's traditional laser tag offering. Let guests choose their intensity, from a light vibration to the full Aftershock experience.
By bringing the 18+ crowd into your venue, Aftershock creates an opportunity to run dedicated evening sessions, giving you another way to generate additional revenue.
Your Existing Arena but a New Experience
One of the biggest advantages of Aftershock is that operators don't have to change their arena or rewire anything to introduce a new experience.
If you already operate a laser tag attraction, there’s no need for a second arena, major remodel, or special wiring. Aftershock is designed to work with your existing arena, staff, and operations, while giving guests an entirely different way to play.
It doesn’t have to stay inside your arena either. Because Aftershock requires no special arena infrastructure, it can be used indoors, outdoors, or as a completely mobile setup for events and off-site experiences.
Getting started is simple: download the Aftershock software onto your existing PC, connect your equipment, and you’re ready to play.
You already have the space, equipment, and operation. Why not use them to create another experience that can attract adult groups, corporate events, private parties, off-site events, and dedicated 18+ nights?
Turn Evenings Into Additional Revenue
Aftershock can also give operators another reason to rethink how their arena is used during evening hours.
An Aftershock session can become a special evening experience aimed at an older audience, allowing operators to expand their market and create an additional revenue opportunity from an attraction they already own. Aftershock was developed around that idea: get the adults back and turn evenings into revenue.
For operators, that means one arena can serve different audiences and experiences depending on the time of day.
Built for New or Existing Laser Tag Operators
Operators are already preparing to introduce the experience to their existing laser tag setups. Laser Quest Toulouse is adding Aftershock to its operation in October, bringing the experience into an established laser tag venue. In Manchester, UK, a new laser tag center is also adding Aftershock to their entertainment center.
These installations highlight one of the main ideas behind Aftershock: you don't need to replace what already works to introduce something new for customers.
Aftershock can complement an existing attraction and give operators another experience to market to their guests.
Build the Package That Fits Your Venue
Every laser tag operation is different, so Aftershock doesn’t have to look exactly the same at every location.
Operators can start with our 10-player Aftershock package, which includes 10 Valkyries, 10 Plate Loader Vests with built-in Shock Belts, and 1 CCM.
For about the cost of two new premium arcade attractions, you can introduce an entirely new laser tag experience for up to 10 players at a time.
And because Aftershock doesn’t require a new arena, special wiring, or a major buildout, your investment goes toward creating the experience rather than building the infrastructure around it.
Start with 10 players, introduce Aftershock to your guests, and see how your market responds. As demand grows, you can expand your system and accommodate larger groups.
Want something bigger or prefer to swap the Valkyrie for the SMG? We can work with you to build an Aftershock package that makes sense for your operation based on your venue, capacity, and goals.
Aftershock provides more than just the laser tag equipment. You’ll also receive access to our software featuring tactical missions, along with promotional materials and operational guidance to help you successfully introduce the experience at your venue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Aftershock be played indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Aftershock can be played indoors or outdoors and doesn’t require a permanent laser tag arena. Operators can use an existing arena, open indoor space, outdoor area, or create a mobile laser tag setup for off-site events. This flexibility allows venues to offer tactical laser tag in the setting that works best for their operation and expand the experience beyond a traditional arena.
Do I need a new arena or special wiring?
No. Aftershock is built for venues that already have space, staff, and a laser tag operation. You do not need a second arena, a major remodel, or special wiring. Download the Aftershock software onto your existing PC, connect the equipment, and you are ready to play. Your investment goes into the experience, not a new buildout.
What makes Aftershock different from traditional laser tag?
Aftershock pairs commercial tactical gear, mission-based games, and Shock Belts for a more intense session than standard arcade-style laser tag. Guests can choose intensity, from light vibration to the full Aftershock experience. Sessions can run in 30 minutes or less, so it feels like a distinct product for adults and competitive players, not a longer version of kids’ laser tag.
What is included, and can I start small?
A common starting point is the 10-player Aftershock package: 10 Valkyries, 10 Plate Loader Vests with built-in Shock Belts, and 1 CCM. You also get software with tactical missions, promotional materials, and operational guidance. Many operators start with 10 players, prove demand, then scale. Prefer the SMG or a larger capacity? iCOMBAT can build a package around your venue, capacity, and goals.
Who is Aftershock for, and how does it drive revenue?
Aftershock is aimed at players who grew up on laser tag but stopped seeing it as “for them,” especially the 18+ crowd. Use it for evening sessions, corporate groups, private parties, leagues, competitive nights, and off-site or mobile events. Daytime can stay family and traditional; Aftershock gives you a second product, ticket, and marketing story on the same footprint. Position it as a separate adult/tactical experience, not “laser tag but longer.” iCOMBAT provides promotional materials to help you launch it.
What support does iCOMBAT provide when I launch Aftershock?
You get more than hardware. Aftershock includes software with tactical missions, promotional materials, and operational guidance for introducing the experience on-site. The iCOMBAT team can help you map Aftershock to your current operation and size a package to your space, player capacity, and goals.
How much does Aftershock cost?
Pricing depends on package size and configuration. As a frame of reference: for about the cost of two new premium arcade attractions, you can add a full Aftershock experience for up to 10 players, without paying for a new arena.
