BAD WEATHER
Our Game Station is designed for all types of weather conditions. It is insulated and climate-controlled with heating and air conditioning. There may be occasions when the weather does not want to cooperate with your scheduled event. In the event of severe weather (severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings, winter storms, extreme flooding, very high winds, or bad road conditions) we reserve the right to reschedule your booking to guarantee the safety of you and your guests, our staff, and the equipment. If the threat of these storms threatens your event and you are aware in advance please contact us to begin the rescheduling. Laser Tag can be played indoors or outdoor, so we suggest an indoor venue during winter.

Children 5 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The number one rule is HAVE FUN!

Drugs of any sort will not be tolerated in or around the Hyperspace Starcade, LLC equipment. Any observed use of illegal narcotics or legal narcotics used in an illegal manner will result in the termination of the event immediately.

COVID-19
We have taken enhanced health and safety measures—for you, our other Guests, and Game Coach members. HyperSpace Starcade now leaves the decision if masks will be required and physical distancing up to the party host who is booking HyperSpace Starcade. Please request your guests prior to your event to not attend if they have been sick recently or think they possibly could be sick. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By booking your event with HyperSpace Starcade you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. HyperSpace Starcade LLC is not a brick and morter facility hosting events we are a mobile entertainment service provider attending a client/host’s event. The legality related to events adhering to state and local laws is the sole responsibility of the client/host and not the responsibility of HyperSpace Starcade LLC. Hyperspace Starcade, LLC or any of it’s game coaches assume no responsibility for any risks, illness or death related to exposure to COVID-19. Help keep each other healthy.
PICTURES/VIDEO
While your party is in effect our Game Coaches may be taking pictures and videos of the party from inside the Game Station or from the laser tag playing field. We may use these to post on our website or on social media for marketing purposes. If you do not want them taken or do not want them to be posted online, please notify our Game Coaches prior to the start of the event or make the appropriate choice for this option during booking.
OUR THEATER/TRAILER
When the truck pulls up, we will try to park in the most level and logical spot to accommodate your party. Oftentimes we park on your neighborhood street, so you might want to let your neighbors know (in case they may object) or let us know if you have a preferred spot for us to park at. We might also have to block a driveway. Please keep in mind that our Game Coaches will not park anywhere that may cause a danger to persons, property or equipment. Our truck and trailer combination is very long and we will need a minimum of 60 feet of space to park. Most of the video games do not require any internet, but if we are requested to connect the trailer to the internet (for certain games like Fortnite or ROBLOX) we will attempt to do so, although we do not guarantee we will be able to connect successfully.
