How We Created a Steampunk Laser Tag Theme – We Are Creative Works [Episode 13]

We Are Creative Works Episode 13

This is the thirteenth episode in a series called We Are Creative Works. In these videos, we show off different projects that our talented team is working on. Below is a transcript of the video.


Hey guys, it’s me Tori March from the Design Department here at Creative Works. We’re stopping there right? We recently installed a steampunk laser tag in Connecticut.

The steampunk theme is usually associated with browns and darker colors that steampunk is traditionally known for, but in our concepting phase we wanted to infuse more color into the steampunk look so that the arenas were still very bright and colorful. So, with our clock tower center prop for example, we have a lot of reds golds and very shiny silver colors on them.

While concepting our steam punk theme we wanted to take a lot of the traditional Victorian steampunk style and blend it with some of our futuristic steampunk style that you’ll see within our arena.

So, one thing you’ll notice about our steampunk theme is, because we’re pulling in a lot of this Victorian inspiration, a lot of our woodwork in prop work is very intricate compared to some of our other themes because steampunk is a very detailed theme. It’s known for a lot of crazy gears and very intense trim work and little designs, so you’ll see a lot of that within our woodwork in the steampunk theme.

Along with the intricate detail of the wood work, the Paint Department has air brushes that they used to obtain even the smallest amount of paint detail that they need on that wood work. We had a ton of fun working on this project and we’re all really happy with how it turned out.
