Laser tag is a team game where you tag opponents with an infrared beam instead of a projectile. Nothing physical hits you, so it is painless and great for all ages.
How It Works
Each player has a tagger that sends a coded infrared beam and a vest or headband with sensors. Hits are scored automatically, and many systems disable your tagger for a few seconds after you are tagged.
Arena vs Outdoor
Arena laser tag uses dark, maze-like rooms with fog and lights. Outdoor laser tag uses longer-range taggers in parks, woods or backyards.
Who Can Play
Most arenas welcome kids from around age 6 or 7 and up, and adults love it too.
