Outdoor Laser Tag and Equipment
Outdoor laser tag is a combat simulation game. The game of laser tag involves 2 -4 teams working against each other to eliminate their opponent or complete an objective to win. Players are equipped with a laser tag gun and a sensor which usually is worn around the head. When a player shoot their laser tag gun sends an inferred signal that is received by the opponents sensor bringing damage to a player. When the player is hit enough times they are eliminated from the game or sent back to a respawn area. The beams from a laser tag unit are completely harmless and no more dangerous than a TV remote. Laser tag is become the safe alternative to paintball that is attractive to the whole family.
