There are many traditional games which have been updated with technology and given a fun and exciting twist. Laser tag games are a fantastic example of this. They are popular with many different age groups because the game itself is easy to learn and can be quite fast-paced at times. If you are planning to add this game to your next event, here are tips that you can use to make it fun for any age group or experience level.
Most people have played traditional forms of tag at some point in their lives. There are many different versions, some of which involve people sitting out or being frozen after being tagged. Instead of coming into physical contact with another player, laser versions use sensors and laser guns or handsets to register when a player has been tagged by another player.
One version which is popular in San Diego Ca, involves some elements of hide-and-seek as well. Players may move through an area that has been set up with obstacles and other objects. Players will attempt to stalk one another and hit each other with the beam before they themselves are tagged. Depending on the rules of a match, players may be knocked out for a period of time or considered "dead" and unable to continue the match.
There are facilities that are set up to play this game permanently. They usually have equipment that you can rent there rather than expecting players to bring their own. Some can be quite complex and have obstacles, different levels and even smoke machines and dim lighting. All of these things can combine to challenge older players but younger players may become lost, frustrated or frightened.
While you do not need a lot of equipment, there are some specialized items you will need to have on hand. One is a set of sensors for each player. The other is a gun that is used to zap the sensors. Young players may do better with durable sets that can handle being bumped or banged. Just remember to have enough batteries on hand so that you can recharge or refresh the equipment.
Younger children who have not had much experience with this game may do well with fewer rules at least for the first match or two. You may want to have a simple game of tag and if the children are zapped with a gun, simply have to sit out for a short period of time. This can make it more fun for the players but it may make it hard if you are trying to determine a winner.
Regardless of how experienced your players are, if there is a large number of them you may want to try dividing them up into smaller groups. If you are doing so, you may want to make sure that there is a good mix of experience levels and ages. If you are working with younger players, keeping all of the same players at similar ages can help ensure that the games are fun and that the players enjoy themselves.
As you can see, its not hard to find a version of this game that will work for your next party. All you need to keep in mind is the number of players, their age or experience level, and the amount of space you have to work with and you, too can have a fun and exciting event that your guests will remember.
