WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Started by Bridgewater-Raritan Regional High School graduate Vic Pellegrini seven years ago, Bullseye Virtual Combat is moving to its largest location yet.
“It’s been 7 years and we’ve always been kind of temporary but we proved that people want to keep coming back to us,” said Pellegrini to Patch.
Bullseye Virtual Combat will officially open its permanent location at the Woodbridge Center Mall on Saturday with a free grand opening event at 11 a.m. Tours will be offered throughout the 16,000 square-foot space along with games on the fields, prize giveaways and discounts.

The new intense tactical laser location is across from Sea Quest and will offer two playing fields under one roof making it one of the largest indoor laser tag fields on the East Coast.
“The space we are moving into is using 2 units. One of them had been vacant for over a decade,” said Pellegrini.

The new space offers two fields for larger groups and smaller groups. The former location in Menlo Park Mall only offered one field. This also allows Pellegrini to customize the games based on age and group size.
The new location also has three party rooms which can be consolidated for larger events.
“We have a lot more space and we built everything to what we wanted instead of taking over a space. We built both of our fields from the ground up,” said Pellegrini.
Pellegrini first launched Bullseye in 2017 at Schafer Farms in Flemington. His idea was to merge together video games and real-life combat. From there he moved to Menlo Park Mall in 2019.
Surviving the pandemic, Bullseye now has 20,000 players who return regularly to play.
“It’s surreal. It started out as a hobby for sure and now we have 24 employees and a general manager,” said Pellegrini.
He is “super excited” to welcome everyone to his new permanent location in Woodbridge.
