Laser tag is the perfect home sport. All you need are phasers and you can play the game with parents, kids, siblings and friends at home, be it the rooms of the home, or in and around the lawn. The game is much like the kids sport of hide and seek – but in this game, when you see your opponent, you use your phaser to tag them. Laser tag was first released in 1979, and from that year on, laser tag at home has only increased in popularity. This is especially because the latest phaser sets are relatively cheaper – you can have one two-gun set for as less as $75. In this page we discuss how to get the most enjoyment out of laser tag at home, from birthday parties to family get-togethers. First let us look at the other popular venue of playing laser tag.
Laser tag arenas are an intrinsic part of the game of laser tag. These are indoor, and in some cases outdoors, arenas where you can play laser tag by the hour. The advantage of playing laser tag at arena to playing laser tag at home is that in an arena, you get the equipment on rent; another is that the arena is designed for the game of laser tag, with some arenas reminiscent of movies they are inspired from. Some arenas have mazes, platforms and ramps that add to the suspense and fun of playing laser tag in an arena. Though playing laser tag at home cannot beat playing it at arena on these two factors, it can definitely make up for this disadvantage by other means.
One of the most fun events you can organize at home is throwing a birthday party where you also play laser tag. Your child can invite all his friends, and later after cake cutting, let them all blast away at each other playing laser tag at home. You can rent the laser tag equipment from one of many stores or paintball arenas which rent it out. You can even take the help of professional laser tag organizing companies, which are called mobile laser tag. These companies specialize in organizing laser tag, with trained crew and laser tag equipment coming as part of the package deal. Taking the services of such a company, you do not have to take much undue headache of handling 20-25 or more kids your child may have called.
Family get-togethers are another instance where laser tag at home is a great idea. The game of laser tag allows extended family members to reconnect with each other and allows them to make shared memories of a game played well.
With all these games of laser tag at home, make sure that every player knows the rule of the game. In arenas, the players are briefed about the rules before the game begins – you can take the cue from them and do the same when you play laser tag at home too.
