Launched today, the new laser tag-style activity is the latest advancement in gaming technology, delivering an immersive, high-energy entertainment experience.

Stamford, CT - RPM Raceway, the premier destination for immersive racing & entertainment, is thrilled to officially launch Gel Blaster Nexus, at its Stamford location (600 West Ave, Stamford, CT 06902). This interactive gaming experience is the first of its kind in Connecticut and the broader Tri-State area, bringing a revolutionary new way to play, blending the best elements of paintball, laser tag, and video gaming into one high-tech, real-life competition for all ages.

Officially launched today, Gel Blaster Nexus is an exclusive new gaming experience, elevating the recently upgraded RPM Raceway Stamford. Following a major transformation, the venue now features an enhanced multi-level racing track, meticulously designed with LED lighting, lightning-fast straightaways, challenging 90-degree hairpin turns, dips, drops, underpasses, and spiraling ramps, providing an adrenaline-pumping and gamified adventure. The two new tracks span over 1,800 feet of track length and can accommodate up to 25 simultaneous junior and adult racers, ensuring everyone can enjoy an unforgettable experience. On Mondays and special events, RPM combines both tracks into its signature Megatrack, one of the longest go-kart racing tracks in the USA.

RPM Raceway Stamford features a dedicated 3,500-square-foot Gel Blaster Nexus arena, where players can engage in high-energy 10 vs. 10 player battles. This immersive experience includes advanced digital scoring, multiple blaster modes—including laser tag— and real-time power-ups for casual players or competitive teams. Gel Blaster Smart Blasters fire water-based gellets at speeds of 170-240 feet per second, delivering the thrill of paintball without the pain or mess. Nexus Smart Blasters offer game loadout options like SMG, Revolver, and Sniper, while Nexus Vests use piezoelectric hit detection and over 600 RGB LEDs for real-time feedback. The Nexus Portal Smart Target dynamically enhances gameplay with power-ups, point boosts, and health regenerations, ensuring every match is an adrenaline-pumping challenge.
