Combat is our sophisticated version of laser tag. Hard Knocks has more than 85 different real-world missions aimed at accomplishing team objectives. Traditional laser tag games outfit all players with identical looking gun models. At Hard Knocks, the weapons used are realistic, military-grade replicas, each with their own advantages. Players are able to visually identify what weapon their opponent has and what type of threat is represented.
What are the age requirements for combat?
In order to play open combat, guests must be at least 8 years old, or 50 inches tall.
Is it safe?
Yes. Hard Knocks is committed to providing a safe environment for its combatants. All weapons are eye-safe. The core technology used by Hard Knocks is infrared light. Infrared is on the safe side of the visible spectrum, using an infrared beam no stronger than a television remote. Regulators, our female combat referees, monitor each mission to ensure all Rules of Engagement are being followed and reinforce the proper operation of the weapons.
Is special training required to participate?
The only training that Hard Knocks requires is that each of its combatants is briefed on our Rules of Engagement and Way of the Gun.
What should I wear?
Guests must wear comfortable clothes and a pair of closed-toe shoes.
Can I bring my own food and beverages inside the facility?
Due to health code regulations, no outside food or drinks are allowed in our facilities. A wide variety of food and beverage selections are available at Hard Knocks’ Combat Café.
Is parking available?
Yes. Plenty of parking is offered onsite.
Where is the facility located?
Hard Knocks is located at 9101 International Drive, Suite 2300, Orlando FL 32819.
