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

By Elaine Guthrie


When you find a fun activity to add to a party that you are planning, your entire event may go much more smoothly. Laser tag games can be fun for many different people but depending on who your guests are, you may need to modify your games in one of several different ways. Here are some tips that you can use to make sure your games are as fun as possible and that your guests enjoy themselves.

In traditional tag, one individual is "it". They then chase the other players and attempt to tag them. The first player who is tagged then becomes "it". There are many different variations of this basic game. In the laser version, players wear sensors on their bodies and attempt to tag each other using a hand-held device that emits a laser beam. Like standard tag, this version also has several different variations.

Older players may want to try a version that has tactical elements in it as well as the athletic aspects of running. Some versions played in San Diego Ca include hiding in and around various structures and attempting to take out other players by zapping them. Winning can be accomplished either by not being zapped or, in some versions, having your gun register the highest number of points from zapping other players.

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.

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.

Regardless of how experienced your players are, if there is a large number of them you may want to try dividing them up into smaller groups. If you are doing so, you may want to make sure that there is a good mix of experience levels and ages. If you are working with younger players, keeping all of the same players at similar ages can help ensure that the games are fun and that the players enjoy themselves.

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.
