Laser Tag Sets

Laser tag was invented only in the latter part of the 20th century because it is played using electronic equipment which was made possible by technological advances by that time. The laser gun that is needed to play laser tag, as well as the sensors, including the control systems that make for a game of laser tag were not possible before 1950. The first attempt to make a game like laser tag was made by the US army which wanted to train its soldiers in battle conditions. Even today, the army uses the laser tag sets for its soldiers, but of course its sets are quite unlike the commercial laser sets we can buy in stores.

The first commercial laser sets were launched in 1979. The game instantly became popular among kids and adults alike, and a number of arenas cropped up to serve laser tag players. The advantage of laser tag arenas was that the players do not have to purchase their own laser tag sets, rather they could rent the guns and sets from the arenas, and return them when their game was over.

At that time, laser tag sets were relatively costlier. With time, the cost of laser tag sets has come down – now it is possible to purchase a 2-gun laser tag set for as low as $80. At Amazon and E-bay, you can even get better deals, with discount etc. These are prices at which you can buy a laser tag set for less than the price of some models of Barbie dolls. This has resulted in many parents buying laser tag sets for their game, and has led to resurgence in the game, though at a smaller scale.

At the larger scale, the laser tag arenas still hold sway. The advantage in arenas is not just in the price, but also their design. Arenas are designed by professional designers keeping ion mind the requirements of the game of laser tag. This means that the designers install platforms, towers, bridges and ramps to make the play more entertaining for the players. This is what draws the players, and make them come back for more!

If you want to play laser tag at home, another option for you is to rent out the laser tag sets from one of the many stores that rent out laser tag equipment. This is especially useful when you want to throw a laser tag party, and buying laser tag guns for every player is out of question.

Taking the services of mobile laser tag companies is also an option for you if you want quality laser tag sets at low price. These are companies which specialize in organizing laser tag games, and bring the required equipment and sets with them once you tell them the number of players you are expecting to join in your game.

With all these option of laser tag sets, you have a lot of choice in the type of laser tag you want to play. Whether you play at home or at the arena, have fun with the game!
