RPM Raceway adds high-speed Gel Blaster Nexus Arena as new immersive experience
Launching on March 5th, the new laser tag-style activity is the latest advancement in gaming technology, delivering an immersive, high-energy entertainment experience
RPM Raceway the premier destination for immersive racing & entertainment is thrilled to announce the launch of 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 launching on March 5th, Gel Blaster Nexus is an exclusive new gaming experience designed to elevate 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 will feature 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.
CEO & Founder of RPM, Andrew Farage shared, “We’re always looking for ways to bring the latest in interactive entertainment to our venues. Gel-Blaster is a next-generation attraction that blends online and offline competitive gaming, literally immersing players into a real-world video game.”
Colin Guinn, CEO & Founder of Gel Blaster shared, “At Gel Blaster, we’re redefining what it means to play by merging the thrill of physical competition with the best elements of digital gaming. Nexus is the next evolution in immersive entertainment, and we couldn’t be more excited to launch this revolutionary experience with RPM Raceway. This partnership brings an entirely new level of interactive, high-energy gameplay to the Tri State Area, giving players of all ages the chance to step inside a real-life video game.”
Perfect for birthday parties, corporate events, and group outings, RPM Raceway offers customizable Gel Blaster packages to suit any occasion. Whether it’s a high-energy team-building event, an action-packed birthday celebration, or a casual walk-in session, Gel Blaster Nexus delivers an unforgettable experience for every guest. With plans to expand Gel Blaster Nexus to all RPM Raceway locations this year, Stamford is leading the charge in bringing the next generation of interactive gaming to Connecticut and the tri-state area, further solidifying RPM’s reputation as a leader in interactive entertainment.
RPM Raceway Stamford’s introduction of Gel Blaster Nexus marks a significant milestone in Connecticut’s entertainment scene, providing an unparalleled, futuristic gaming experience just minutes from Manhattan and Fairfield, Westchester County.
