All ranges! Unlike laser tag, adults are drawn to Nexus because it's as exciting as a paintball experience without the physical pain or messy side effects. Teens and young adults love it because it feels like being inside a video game. And if the physical projectiles are too much for the youngsters, you can activate Laser Tag Mode without worry.

What FEC owners have to say
We invited FEC owners from around the world
to play Nexus during our launch event.
MARLEE MONTGOMERY / CEO Montgomery Amusements
"We have been in the FEC industry for 30 years and have been looking for an upgraded activity, and this one really hit the mark. This has been a no-brainer for us. The technology is awesome, the games are exciting to play, and people just love it. Thank you!"
BRENT K. / General Manager
"We were the original testbed for Nexus and within the initial phase we already knew that we'd be expanding the attraction. It's unlike any other offering—an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed experience that gets the heart pumping for more."
CURT SKALLERUP / Co-founder and CEO
"Nexus is a product that can go to the masses and give a great return for an FEC. At the macro level, the expense of the product itself is extremely reasonable to get the return you want. When you do the math around the product and the price, you literally spit out a very consumer friendly price."
