Mumbai’s entertainment scene has evolved far beyond cafe hopping and movie screenings. Gone are the days when intense battlegrounds, high-stakes adrenaline, and tactical gameplay meant playing Battle Royale genre of video games on your phone. Today, it’s all about calling up your squad and witnessing these things in real-time. Known as India’s only multi-level laser tag destination, What The Fun has taken this run-and-gun laser tag concept and elevated it into a cinematic experience. From its location to what to expect, here’s everything you need to know.
Multi-Level Laser Tag In Mumbai
While traditional laser tag arenas are typically single-floor mazes with barricades made out of plywood, What The Fun changes the entire dynamic with verticality. The multi-level layout introduces winding ramps, overhead bridges, elevated vantage points, and ground-level corridors. This architectural design turns the game way more interesting than the flat sprint.
What makes it even more fun are the visual and sensory immersive features like:
- Fog Effects: Witness low-lying haze and smoke drifting across the corridors, which add high visual impact to every shot of laser.
- Glow In The Dark: The entire arena is pitch dark with illuminations by ultraviolet backlights, glowing pillars, vibrant neon murals, and reflective obstacles. This will make it even more difficult for you to know if your opponent is approaching you.
- Amazing Soundscape: Bass-heavy countdowns, upbeat synth, and real-time audio cues that sync with your weapon’s sound will create an ambience that feels straight outta video game!
- Sensors on Vest: The wearable vest features light-emitting hit points across the shoulders, chest, and back. Whenever your opponent tags any of the sensors you vest will vibrate and flash white lights to indicate deactivation for 3 to 5 seconds.
- Real-time Information: The phaser display tracks your lives, remaining ammunition, time left on the clock, and individual score in real time.
- Game Mode: You can engage in various game modes based on your preferences and group size.
What To Expect?
- Registration and Division: You will check in, teams will be made, colors will be assigned to each group, and lockers will be assigned for keeping your valuables safe.
- Briefing: Marshals will explain to you all the safety guidelines, important rules, vest operation, and scoring system.
- Suit Up: Get all suited up with the vests and blasters. Basically, get ready for the game.
- Enter the Battle: Play the non-stop, high-intensity match inside the arena. Hit your opponents, rush through bridges and ramps, enjoy!
- Scorecard: Take a look at your post-match scorecard on the digital leaderboard screen. You will see total team points, performance breakdown, individual kill-to-death ratios, tags, accuracy, and more.
