Next Level Skirmish

Next Level Skirmish

Next Level Skirmish is one of Geelong’s most established venues for outdoor-style laser skirmish with modern equipment and structured missions. The experience sits between traditional laser tag and paintball, giving players the movement, tactics, and adrenaline of paintball without the mess or bruising. Now located at Nimble Hits Indoor Sports Stadium in Bell Park, the venue continues to build on more than a decade of community involvement, school programmes, and action-based events.

Sessions run throughout the week, with public, private, corporate, and mobile options. Whether players arrive in groups or join mixed sessions, the format is designed to work for different ages and skill levels.

Laser Skirmish Geelong

Next Level Skirmish is known for delivering laser skirmish that feels closer to a simulated battlefield than a standard indoor laser tag arena. The SATR system provides instant hit feedback, which helps players adjust tactics and react quickly. Game modes shift between elimination rounds, objective-based missions, and fast matches suited to younger players.

Terrain awareness plays a significant role. Obstacles, sightlines, and cover points influence how players move and communicate. Staff guide each session and brief teams on safe play, mission rules, and equipment use. 

Laser Tag Geelong

While often compared with indoor laser tag, the format here is more strategic. Instead of compact rooms and flashing targets, the gameplay relies on distance, positioning, and coordinated movement. Staying mobile is key—standing still makes players easier to tag. Using cover, shifting angles, and working in pairs are simple ways to improve performance.

Sessions suit ages six and up, and the gear is lightweight enough for long games. By mixing open terrain with structured missions, the experience appeals to both tactical players and those looking for a straightforward, action-based activity. Evening sessions add a different atmosphere, especially during longer objective rounds.

Next Level Paintball

Next Level Skirmish offers an alternative to paintball rather than traditional paintball itself. The aim is to provide the intensity and tactical style of paintball without protective padding, paint rounds, or impact. For players who want a more physical challenge than indoor tag but aren’t ready for full-contact paintball, the setup works well.

The structure mirrors paintball-style gameplay: team roles, coordinated attacks, flanking manoeuvres, and the need to adapt as the match develops. Scouting, covering fire, and communication all matter. Matches are paced to allow recovery between rounds, especially during longer private or corporate sessions.

Paintball Geelong

In the broader Geelong region, paintball remains a popular activity, but younger players often can’t join due to age restrictions. Next Level Skirmish fills this gap by offering paintball-style missions to players as young as six. Adults often use it as a training step before moving to full paintball environments. Because the equipment uses infrared rather than physical rounds, sessions run in most weather conditions, with the exception of electrical storms.

Groups that want a competitive experience can choose extended private sessions or full-day team events. These formats emphasise accuracy, stamina, and tactical planning, similar to longer paintball tournaments.

Events, Parties, and Community Involvement

Next Level Skirmish caters to birthdays, large groups, and themed events. Party packages include game time, a party coach, a table area, and optional catering or self-catering. Free birthday inclusions such as ice-cream cake and certificates keep the format simple for organisers.

Over many years, the venue has worked with local schools, disability groups, sporting clubs, and community programmes. This involvement continues at the new Bell Park site, with extended sessions, mobile battlefield setups, and large-scale corporate events.
