FatCats Paying it Forward

Throughout the years, FatCats has had many opportunities to engage and give back to members in our community.


In 2011 FatCats Provo held a AK10 fundraiser to help raise money for Alexis Kaufusi. Alexis played forward for the BYU women’s basketball team. She played a total of 20 games before being diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Balladium! Are You Game?


One of the most exciting attractions at Fatcats Rexbrug is Balladium! It offers guests an experience similar to laser-tag. In a black-lit room painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, Balladium is a game in which the players can hit targets with small foam balls to earn points.

 Each team has 4 targets to aim for above the heads of the opposing team. Although your team gets points for targets hit, it's a lot more fun to shoot each other. With five air-compressed cannons on each side of the room, participants can either play with teams or play one-on-one.


            To begin, players scurry around their side of the room to gather up as many foam balls as possible. After they've collected their ammunition, cannons are loaded. Players simultaneously take aim at either the targets or each other and start shooting.

After shooting, players must quickly replenish their supply of foam balls without getting shot.

            For only $3 per person a customer is able to play for five minutes of play. Five minutes may sound like a short game, but players are often tired by the end of the game. Both running and dodging are required in Balladium (if you want to win, of course!)
If you come with a larger group, you can pay $10 instead to rent the whole room for five minutes.  At Fatcats Rexburg, we love our students! Show your student ID to get a discount of $1.

Are you Ninja Enough? Laser Maze @ FatCats Westminster!


We’ve all seen the bank robberies in movies, but have you ever wondered if you have the ninja skills to do what they do in those movies? That is what the Laser Maze is all about. It’s a Mission Impossible type game where you must weave your way in and out of lasers on your way to three different checkpoints in the least amount of time. With four levels; easy, medium, hard, and expert (for seasoned ninjas), even the littlest ninja-in-training can have fun with this attraction. The Laser Maze at FatCats Westminster has a Vault theme in which it is set up like you’re robbing a bank vault with cameras, a money hologram, and a full bank vault atmosphere. You’re sure to have a blast!




The Laser Maze is often confused with Laser Tag, but this is a different beast. It’s an original arcade game that requires speed, athleticism, brawn, brains, and of course, ninja blood to complete without breaking a laser. Compete against your friends and everyone that has played for the entire month to get your name on the leader board. While your friends are going through the maze you can watch them on our big screen and see every move they make…or…try to make.



The average turn takes about thirty seconds to a minute to complete…obviously longer for the less seasoned ninjas and harder levels. You can play by the turn or rent the entire Laser Maze by the half hour or by the hour to really refine your ninja moves…and judge your friends lack of ninja-ness.



Get on the leader board and get a sticker highlighting your accomplishment to show off to all your friends. They’re sure to be jealous, but it’s not your fault…you were just born that awesome.



Play at your own risk…FatCats is not liable for you thinking you’re more ninja than you actually are, embarrassment, losing to your friends, losing to your girlfriend, bad scores due to ill advised back flips, or less than adequate gymnastics skills, so please, for your own sake, bring your skills and put your game face on because it’s sure to get intense!
