They also have laser tags that can be played in the backyard or a front lawn which is good for all ages from eight and up. They include battlefields and obstacles to make it even more fun. Another option is the giant hamster balls and you can hire more than one to encourage competitions.

They have the U:LAUNCHER that can be used to launch anything up to as far as 90 yards. They also have The Toss-N-Fly which is exclusive to them. Another is the Foam Machine Party and Gyroscope. The AV Cart is also interesting as it can be used to project a video game, movie, karaoke, presentations, or anything you can think of, to a large wall, side of a house or even a building.
