How To Gear Laser Tag Games To Any Age And Experience Level

By Elaine Guthrie


Planning an event can be stressful and finding activities that everyone will like can be particularly challenging. If you are dealing with a group of individuals who like to be active, you may want to consider one of the many laser tag games that are available. There are several different options that you can pick from. Here are tips and tricks that you can use to find the right version for you.

Tag is great for people because it is an active game that can wear people out and provide them with fantastic exercise. If you know that you are dealing with players who have mobility issues or younger players who may not be able to handle long periods of activity, you may want to keep matches short and switch out players at regular intervals. Instead of physically contacting other players, in a laser tag bout one player will use a laser gun to trigger a sensor.

One version which is popular in San Diego Ca, involves some elements of hide-and-seek as well. Players may move through an area that has been set up with obstacles and other objects. Players will attempt to stalk one another and hit each other with the beam before they themselves are tagged. Depending on the rules of a match, players may be knocked out for a period of time or considered "dead" and unable to continue the match.

You may want to consider going to a facility that has a permanent set up. Often this will involve ramps, different levels, platforms and barriers that players can hide behind and climb on. Some others will have smoke machines, interesting lighting set ups and even music. They often have equipment that you can rent which is nice if you do not want to purchase anything.

While you do not need a lot of equipment, there are some specialized items you will need to have on hand. One is a set of sensors for each player. The other is a gun that is used to zap the sensors. Young players may do better with durable sets that can handle being bumped or banged. Just remember to have enough batteries on hand so that you can recharge or refresh the equipment.

Younger children who have not had much experience with this game may do well with fewer rules at least for the first match or two. You may want to have a simple game of tag and if the children are zapped with a gun, simply have to sit out for a short period of time. This can make it more fun for the players but it may make it hard if you are trying to determine a winner.

You should also decide whether you want to divide your group of players into smaller groups and then have the winners of each match play off against one another. This can help keep things manageable as well as reducing the amount of equipment you will need to have on hand.

You may be surprised at how fun this game can be. Whether you rent equipment or buy it, host a game at your home or travel to a facility to play, you may find that you end up spending hours playing match after match.
