How are you different from the other company that claims that they are the sole distributor to laser tag equipment in Singapore?
This is also the answer to, “Why do you claim that you have been running laser tag games since 2005, when you are launching your laser tag division only in 2008?”
It seems a little confusing, we know, and we have been asked enough times already, so do allow us to explain this once and for all.
Since early 2003, we have been running a teambuilding business named Anergy The Fun Engineers (it was thereafter incorporated in 2004 as a company named Anergy Fun Engineers Pte. Ltd., or Anergy in short) specialising in corporate teambuilding activities. In end 2005, we were approached by an ex-facilitator (who stopped part-time work with us to embark on a full-time career with a now-defunct outdoor laser tag company), to start a new company specialising in laser tag activites. Sensing the potential to complement our existing business, we invested a sum of money and our corporate experience to help start up the company, with us holding a small share in the company.
That company survived initial struggles and was eventually able to establish itself as the only company (then) doing laser tag activities in Singapore, holding exclusive rights to a few brands of equipment locally. In Feb 2008, we discovered that our then-partner started another company with a relative to do teambuilding activities. Knowing that there would inevitably be conflict of interest, and failing to get the partner to isolate himself from that new business, we decided to sell our shares back to that ex-partner, and had to start our own laser tag division to continue our teambuilding business.
There are a few things you need to know that sets us apart from our competition: Firstly, our people are our greatest advantage - our departure as shareholders from that company saw an exodus of senior crew from it, of whom have most kindly chosen to support and assist us with the running of our own laser tag division. These cream of the crop talents coupled with our handpicked selection of newer crew, are the ones who make your session a professional and memorable one!
Secondly, the principal vendor has decided (in our favour) that the exclusive rights to one of the top brands of laser tag equipment are now shared between Anergy and the other company. Our guns are solely from that one brand which adopts superior laser tag technology, thereby ensuring that all our equipment have the independent gun scoring feature - it’s always good to know who shot you and how many times. This makes the game much more exciting as opposed to not knowing who shot you when you get “hit”. Most importantly, our equipment are constantly maintained, cleaned with soap, and they are in 100% working condition (including the reload buttons).
Thirdly, as we are trying to grow our membership base for our anergy monster club now, we are still charging 2005 prices, even when we provide newer guns!
Fourthly, our corporate teambuilding package that is conducted by trainers is in fact conducted by qualified trainers - you can request to take a look at our trainers’ C.V. if you are taking our corporate teambuilding package (by trainers).
Fifthly, we believe in being transparent with our charges. We offer 3-mission packages up-front, as we know majority of people play 3 missions instead of 2, so ultimately, you won’t be topping up for the 3rd mission at a higher price even though you thought 2 missions was enough. However, if you really just want 2 missions, we would be happy to match the rates quoted to you by other companies offering similar products.
Lastly, your safety is our priority. We provide iced water free-of-charge during our sessions to make sure you keep hydrated. If you prefer alternatives, we sell chilled canned drinks at only S$1 per can. Also, samples of every model of our guns have been tested by HSA and checked by the police, and we have been granted permit to use them for combat simulation games.
If you have any other queries regarding us or our programmes, please feel free to drop us an enquiry and we’d be happy to assist.
