What To Consider When Planning Laser Tag Games For Your Next Party

By Elaine Guthrie


There are many traditional games which have been updated with technology and given a fun and exciting twist. Laser tag games are a fantastic example of this. They are popular with many different age groups because the game itself is easy to learn and can be quite fast-paced at times. If you are planning to add this game to your next event, here are tips that you can use to make it fun for any age group or experience level.

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.

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.
