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.

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.

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.

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.

As you can see, its not hard to find a version of this game that will work for your next party. All you need to keep in mind is the number of players, their age or experience level, and the amount of space you have to work with and you, too can have a fun and exciting event that your guests will remember.
