How To Gear Laser Tag Games To Any Age And Experience Level

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.

Tag is great for people because it is an active game that can wear people out and provide them with fantastic exercise. If you know that you are dealing with players who have mobility issues or younger players who may not be able to handle long periods of activity, you may want to keep matches short and switch out players at regular intervals. Instead of physically contacting other players, in a laser tag bout one player will use a laser gun to trigger a sensor.

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.

In order to play laser tag, each player will need to have a set of sensors and a gun that is used to trip the sensors. You can find these sets online and in some toy stores as well. It can be helpful to look at reviews for each product before deciding which one you want to buy. Keep in mind that some sets will be better suited to younger players.

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.
