Laser Quest Gwinnett

Went here today to see about birthday party options. The parties are fairly priced. The place is clean. The workers seem very nice. We had never been there before so they took the time to show us around even though they were extremely busy. We had never played laser tag before so we thought we should play a game before we left. We had a blast. We will definitely be back.

I hosted my son’s sports team end-​of-​the season party at this location (boys ages 6 – 9 years old) and it was money well spent! The prices were very reasonable, and I love the fact that you can bring your own food which most party facilities will not allow. While they do not have a huge arcade, the boys enjoyed the air hockey and other few games they had. The laser arena was the best we’ve ever been too, with two stories, and the staff were all very friendly. They even made the team a sign and took group pictures that they forwarded to me afterwards. I highly recommend Laser Quest for a fun group outing!

LQG, as I’m going to nickname it, is GREAT for tweens and teens with too much energy or just-​hit-​puberty-​ish-​angst. I have never played laser tag. I never had any interest in being chased… with guns… frankly. I don’t care that it’s shooting light. I’m still being chased!
While this wasn’t as terrifying as I made it out to be in my head, it was still frustrating as crap. I’m certainly not good at everything — I don’t claim to be. but I also don’t DO things that I know I’m no good at. and this is one of them. It was birthday shenanigans though, so I justified trying it out to prove myself wrong this one time (even though I know I’m like never wrong…) Every time you get laser-​beamed your whole little backpack set up vibrates. Inappropriate jokes aside, it gets annoying as heck, especially when there are like 20 of said tweens and puberty-​ish teens in there with you because they are fast and, I guess because of technology, they’re good at this shit! Oh wait, you’re not supposed to freaking curse in there! Dammit! Oops! But this crap is so f#$#%ing aggravating! UGH.
Now I know I wasn’t missing out on much when it was life before lasers.
My personal issues aside: I have to admit, it’s a really cool set up. The «maze» is impressive — lots of little nooks and crannies to back into, rocks glow-​painted, windows and mirrors here and there to throw you off… You can even go up top to another level to continue your laser-​stalking. It’s totally dark, and you can barely see anything but the flashing lights on other players’ shoulders, stomachs and backs, and laser guns, and their silhouettes with glowing eyeballs, teeth and those little slightly-​white threads in their tee shirts because of the black lights all over.
30 minutes is plenty of time, TRUST ME. I found the entrance after 20 minutes and I was forced to go back in and have fun. Well, not forced really. but you can’t hide out in the entrance, unfortunately. I also ended up like soaked in sweat. Granted, I’m a sweater anyway. but beware.
At the end, you get a little print out of how many times you were zapped by whom, and how many times you zapped others. It’s pretty awesome.
A-​OK. great for the kiddies. Cool place if you’re into it!

«No. I went out and got drunk with my laser tag team last night. Crap! Never go out on a Thursday night. What the hell was I thinking?» — The Office: Season 2, Episode 8
Those annoying kids — they camp out and will not go and shoot people their own size. That being said, I take pride in the fact that I shot the kid that won our game more than he shot me. Okay, I feel better…
I enjoy laser tag when my friends want to go, but it is not something I seek out to do. But I do recommend LQG for a pretty good spot to go and the price is right. On a Saturday night, we were able to play with 10 people (and 15 or so toddlers… okay they were pre-​teens). for an Iron Man game. Now they tell you it is a 30 minute game, but at the end the score sheet told us play time was 21+ minutes. So keep that in mind.
The place is pretty nice — they have some video games to keep you occupied while you are waiting for your turn or waiting for your friends to finish. They also seemed to have a party area for the little kids that you can reserve. We were a bit old for that. I did appreciate that they had free lockers where we could store our stuff (purses, keys, etc.) so that we were unburdened while shooting each other.
The course was pretty good with some hiding spots (not for camping, but for catching my breath, and luckily the dry ice/​smoke didn’t last the whole game. It was 2 levels and lots of pockets and easy to get turned around and catch people off guard — always good.
The girls at the front were pretty friendly — although had some spelling challenges (doesn’t know how to spell purple — puprle) but hey, I guess they may be pretty young themselves? They still were nice and handled doling out rules and getting people situated well. I would say that the foul language issue was way more the pre-​teens cursing than us adults, though.
Overall a pretty good experience and our birthday «kid» enjoyed himself — so props to LQG.

Great place for birthdays! You provide the food and drinks and they provide the entertainment! If you don’t go for a party, it’s cheap to play! Very fun for even adults! It’s better than QZar (right down the road).

Laser Quest is a laser tag arena located inside the Mall Corners shopping center near I-​85 and Pleasant Hill Rd. The business faces Satellite Blvd. and is close to Haru Ichiban. This place can be a lot of fun, though it’s quite cheesy. Kids, I’m assuming teenagers, are the main demographic.
The price for a single game of laser tag is $ 8.50. You can buy two games and get the second game half off (total price $ 12.75). Each game lasts about 15 – 20 minutes.
In my experience at Laser Quest, we entered the arena with about 20 – 30 people at a time. There are different formats you can play, but we played «solo» or free for all (every man for himself). You put on a vest which has light sensors on your front, back, and left and right shoulders. These are the spots people aim at with their lasers. Your gun is also a target.
When the game starts, you enter this huge black light-​lit maze. There are many walls and corners to hide and sneak around. There’s also a second level. If you ever play first-​person shooters, this is pretty much your map. You aren’t allowed to run, kneel, lie down, or cover your sensors. Like a video game, some people like to «camp out» in certain areas of the arena and pick off fellow competitors, sniper-​style. While all of this is going on, overly dramatic music plays over the speakers.
I’d say the condition of the equipment and the laser tag arena are fair at best. You can definitely tell it’s seen its best days.
At the end of a game, everyone gathers outside to see the score results. Each person is given a detailed scorecard. There are actually a lot of statistics on the scorecard. You can see who you tagged and where (front, back, shoulder, gun), who tagged you and where, and total number of shots you fired, including hit count and accuracy ratio.
Since the playing field is dark and illuminated by black light, it’s probably in your best interest to dress in dark colored clothing. Light colored clothing, especially white, really shine underneath the black light, making you an easy target.
While you’re waiting for the next game to begin, there’s a common area you hang out in that has a lot of beat up arcade games. They include air hockey, racing, foosball, and basketball games. Nothing too exciting.
If you can get over the cheesiness factor, then some fun can be had here. Ideal for big groups.

Some of the boy’s friends have been on a laser tag kick and we’ve been twice in the past 3 weeks. The first time was on a Thursday night and we were the only 4 people in the place. That was fun because we played in teams for the first game and then a free for all the second game. I don’t take it very seriously, but it’s fun, easy exercise, especially when there are so few people in the arena. The staff is also a lot more flexible when everyone is adults. In the second game, my pack died. I lost about 3 minutes changing out packs, but was compensated with a free game if I come back before Feb. 28. I thought that was nice of them.
The second time was last Friday and we played the Ironman game which is twice the length of a normal game (30 minutes, give or take). This time there were about 9 or 10 people. I came in last, but again, I don’t really take it that seriously. I prefer the smaller groups, but I know most people don’t. I can’t speak to the pricing as I’ve never paid for myself (thanks boyfriend!). It’s a good time and a nice alternative to your standard dinner and a movie.

I decided to create a UYE that wasn’t related to food, and that a bunch of Unilocalers could interact with eachother and take their frustrations of life out on people innocently.
I did my research between QZAR and here, and this one prevailed.
Laser Quest has an interesting pricing setup, with a lot of (somewhat) confusing things. At the end of the day, you can tell the majority of their business comes from groups, so you can tell it is catered to them. Well, there were 4 of us total, which was actually nice, because we ended up playing two games– one with 24 people, and the other with 19. So, at least it wasn’t us playing 4 corners.
You go up to the counter and pay how much (they have a promo where BOGO half off) — @ $ 8.25 for the first game (even better, you can become a member, and pay only $ 6.25PG). We decided to get the two pack– which was plenty.
You give them a code name (which I told him at first, mine was Ski, but he put down Steve), which in turn gives you an access key that activates the gun/​kit of your choice.
When its time to go, they put you in a room and give you the rundown of what to expect, and the rules. Then its time to get your gear. The first game, I ended up with the last kit, and it wasn’t even activating. Are you serious? 23 other guns work fine, and mine doesn’t? So not only I lost 2−3minutes off the game, but when it was time to go, every one was full force blasting me. Long story short, I placed ²³⁄₂₄ that game.
The next game, there were 19 people. This time, my kit activated (I got a different one, so it would work this time), and I was one of the first people out there, I wanted to get the head start and blast people without being seen. Well, that was kind of hard, and my GD gun didn’t even turn on! I had to unplug it, then plug it back in. That took 2 minutes to reboot. That REALLY irked me, as in two games, I lost 5 – 6 minutes (out of 30 minutes total playing times) — and the second game, I placed like ¹⁴⁄₁₉.
The atmosphere is cool, and unlike any laser tag I have seen (except the one at six flags, NO idea if it still exists), but when I have 2 different sets crap out on me when clearly everyone elses were working, I don’t know if I was profiled or what, but it’s shit like that will keep me from coming back!
I might have even had a bday here too (as they have catering options, and allow for caterers for alcohol permits) if it weren’t for that!
Overall, if you like this kind of thing, I think its worth doing once. About once a month, they have themed lock ins from 11PM-​7AM at a cost of $ ⁴⁰⁄₃₅ PP including unlimited play during that time…

We came here with my sister in law and her family while on Christmas vacation. Our nephews loved it and the adults had just as much fun! Even my mother in law came in to watch the game although she didn’t play. I thought it was cool of them to let her come in with us. I don’t play a lot of video games so mu shots were way off so I stayed up top and played sniper. Tricky, yes… but much more effective for me!!!

$ 8.5/game. This place is located in the corner of the Mall’s Corner plaza, across the street from Cho Won buffet and next to Haru Ichiban. The staff is pleasant, although you don’t really interact with them much. You’re here to play some laser tag, not for the service. They have packages for large groups and birthday parties.
Came here with a small group and we were shortly joined by another group. There wasn’t enough however (under a dozen) so we played solo against each other. Second game, played against a different group (also solo).
Overall, this place is larger than Q-​Zar, with an upstairs that you can look down on the ground floor through vents/​windows. Ramps lead to the upstairs and plenty of hideaways and corners help you avoid attack if you wander the ground floor. The maze was pretty cool — you can easily lose someone if you move fast enough around the corners. 3.5 stars, not quite a fan.

The laser tag here is a lot of fun! I can’t wait to return. Would make a great family outing or date! Inexpensive also and great customer service… just wish there weren’t so many elementary kids… maybe it was just the time we went. I heard Stars and Strikes isn’t like that and they have better food. Laser Quest only has pizza. Will try Stars and Strikes next time.
Oh yeah their lockers are big and free!
