BOSSES at Darkstar Laser are urging parents to minimise youngsters' screen time and battle the boredom over the coming summer holiday.

Darkstar, in Central Street, will provide a high-adrenaline 'Hex' experience this summer, in a bid to offer an alternative to static gaming.

Darkstar director Lynn Ben-Yousef said: "As video game usage continues to rise due to ever-evolving online and mobile platforms, many parents are concerned over their children's time spent in front of television and computer screens."

Children aged seven and above can play at the arena.
