How To Choose The Right Laser Tag Games For Your Next Event

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.

Most people have played traditional forms of tag at some point in their lives. There are many different versions, some of which involve people sitting out or being frozen after being tagged. Instead of coming into physical contact with another player, laser versions use sensors and laser guns or handsets to register when a player has been tagged by another player.

In San Diego Ca, many players like a version of the game that also involves hiding and strategy. There are different variations of this game. Some involve not being tagged at all, while others involve hitting as many other players as you can and collecting points. Some locations may have tournaments or allow regular players to accumulate points throughout a particular period of time.

Some areas have arenas that are permanently set up for this game. These can be a lot of fun to take a group to and will often host events. The courses often include dim lighting and smoke or fog machines to make visibility worse and increase the difficulty level of the course. These may be fun for older, more experienced players. If you are considering going to a facility such as this, you may want to make sure that they offer other activities as well, just in case some of your guests prefer to sit out for a match or two.

When preparing to play this game, each player will put on sensors. These are usually located on the front and back of the torso. Each player will also be given a laser gun that emits a beam. This beam strikes a sensor and a hit is recorded. Some games simply record a hit, others will cause the sensor to vibrate or register a different number of points depending on which sensor is triggered.

The age of your players should affect the number of rules that you have in any game. Very young players may do best with less structured matches as it can reduce the level of player frustration. If players have tried this game before you may want to add in a few more rules as their age level increases. Just remember to keep an eye on the players to make sure they are not getting tired.

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.

If this is your first time experiencing this kind of game, you are likely in for a treat. By making decisions about what form of game to play, where to play and how many players to involve, it becomes very easy to tailor the experience to any group size or age and experience of players.
