Laser Tag (sometimes also referred to as 'Laser Skirmish') is a game involving electronic technology where players tag each other with 'phasors' to score points. How the game is played depends heavily on the specific equipment used.
Laser Tag is often playable in many formats. Some of the more typical game styles include:
A laser tag system typically makes use of infra-red technology (think of a more complicated version of your television remote) to fire the phasor.
Of course, it's called laser tag for a reason, and that's because it also involves lasers! Don't worry though - these lasers are purely for show (and to help you aim!), and meet strict safety requirements.
Laser tag systems are meant to be enjoyable, and are not designed to cause discomfort or pain. It does not hurt to be tagged by another player (unless you count your ego!). Typically, when you are tagged, your vest will be deactivated for a few seconds, and you cannot tag other players to earn points in that time.
At least two people are required to be able to play laser tag.
Our Hobart arena can have up to 18 players in a single game, and our Launceston arena can have up to 24 players in a single game.
In order to play there are a number of entry requirements that all players must adhere to.
A full instructional briefing is provided to all laser tag players and takes only a few minutes to complete. You may also read the game rules.
