Star Command Laser Tag - Whitechapel

In the back alley of Whitechapel you'll find what seems to be a derelict building, but is in actual fact the home of PlayOn Sports and the newly relocated Star Command Laser Tag.

Today we were here for some laser combat. I haven't played laser tag in years but have fond memories of this game. 


Once you enter the gates you navigate yourself through the neglected building to the basement car park where you'll find in the corner Star Command. The actual game arena however is the same classic experience I enjoyed, with two levels to combat in. 

What was different from the game I played before was the four different firing options. This added some nice dynamics to play:
- Standard. (Only weapon to have unlimited ammo).
- Auto fire.
- Cluster bomb. (Shoots everyone in the nearby area).
- Armour piecing. (Allows you to shoot an enemy who has just been shot and is in the 5 second no combat time).

I did get somewhat hot n sweaty so I'll definitely bring a change of clothes for next time. They have lockers available for a £1 to use. We played 3 games (20 minutes each game) altogether for £30, booking in advance. There were less participants for the later games and we found a bigger group was more fun, even if you are playing with random people.

We all had a brilliant time and would recommend you take a trip down to Star Command.
