There are certain risks associated with playing Darkzone as with any physical activity. You are playing the game at your own risk. If you do not understand the risks please see a staff member immediately.

Dress Code:

Darkzone is a physical activity as such appropriate dress must be worn.

• T-Shirt or equivalent must be worn
• Bare feet and thongs are not permitted
• High heels are not permitted
• We recommend sneakers with good grips.

Management reserves the right to refuse entry if a person dress is not suitable. Please come suitably dressed to avoid disappointment. If in doubt please ring us for more information.

Laser Safety:

The Darkzone "phasor" contains a built in laser pointer. This pointer activates for less than a second only when the trigger is pulled and is only used for targeting and decoration. These lasers are safe for children to use.

The lasers are classified under the American ANSI standard as Class IIa. Class IIa lasers are special purpose lasers that emit accessible visible laser light with power levels less than 1 mW radiant power. This class of laser will only cause injury when viewed directly for more than 1,000 seconds (Roughly 16 minutes).

The human eye blink reflex, which occurs within 0.25 seconds of exposure to the laser beam, provides adequate protection. As the lasers are not continuous it is very difficult to view the laser directly for long enough for damage to occur.

Other examples of Class IIa lasers are some bar code readers and other similar equipment.
