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

By Elaine Guthrie


Planning an event can be stressful and finding activities that everyone will like can be particularly challenging. If you are dealing with a group of individuals who like to be active, you may want to consider one of the many laser tag games that are available. There are several different options that you can pick from. Here are tips and tricks that you can use to find the right version for you.

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.

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.

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.
