When was it that you saw a couple of kids playing hide and seek? Or that eternal favorite: cops and robbers? I'd say not for some time, because when kids today want to play a game like that, they want to play it the 21st century style – by playing laser tag. Indeed the game is simple enough – shoot or tag your opponent, and score points. But the equipment that it uses is unlike what we have for the other games. With football, all you need is an inflated rubber ball. Same with Basketball. But with Laser Tag you need a gun that emits infra red rays, and sensors that detect that ray. Then you need a system that can track the kills made by the player. There are vests, energizers and other equipment that help in a game of laser tag. With the right equipment, kids can play outside laser tag for hours on end, without bothering you with having to keep them busy or to entertain them
Outside laser tag is a game not just for kids; adults enjoy it too. For adults it is especially enjoyable because it directly transports them in a battle scenario they can otherwise see only in video games and movies. Now in real like, they can sneak up on their opponent, just like James Bond may do in the evil mastermind's submarine!
The charm of outside laser tag is also in the way you can play in the style of a sniper. With outside laser tag, the arena is larger, and the range of weapon that you need longer. This means that outside laser tag requires a different style of play – in fact it also requires different types of guns.
The guns used in outside laser tag are also called laser tag rifles. They have a longer range than the normal laser tag guns, with most of them able to shoot at an enemy at a distance of 400 feet and more. When you are able to shoot or tag the opponents at such a long distance, the structure of the game changes from close combat game to one that needs more foresight and thought. And strategy.
Games like capture the flag, and games inspired from moves such as Terminator are perfect for playing outside laser tag. With kids, they can play the old cops and robbers, but this time with guns. Also noteworthy is the game known as Indians and Cowboys. Indeed, whatever you call them, or whatever style of game you are playing, a game of outside laser tag is one of the most entertaining games you can play on a lazy summer afternoon. And let us not forget the game of night laser tag, with night vision goggle. Yes, you can play that too, if you are specially adventurous and bold.
With all these option in outside laser tag, we hope you have loads of fun playing it!
