How Laser Tag Works

Updated: Aug 23, 2020



Briefly, game players use two main devices - tagger and Laser Tag Headband with sensors.

  • Tagger is a model of weapon that shoots with invisible infrared rays, that are absolutely harmless to humans (like the infrared rays in your TV remote).

  • Laser Tag Headband is a regular strap with infrared detectors fixed on it, which detect infrared rays from the adversary's tagger.

Laser Tag Headband of a player is connected with the player's own Tagger usually via cable or Bluetooth.

After hitting from the adversary's tagger, the player's Headband sends commands to the processor of the player's Tagger with:

  • The ID of an adversary's tagger

  • Damage, color and so on.

The player's Tagger in accordance with predefined settings decides what to do:

  • Player is wounded (decreases hit-points, temporary disconnects sensors and Tagger of the player);

  • Player is killed (permanent disabling of the player's Tagger).

For the convenience of game participants, the hit player's Headband vibrates and lights, and its player's Tagger, depending on the configuration, voice messages about wounding or death.

  • Our games are typically around 10-15 minutes long, but could vary with objectives.

  • Players can change up equipment or take breaks as needed between games.

  • Most hosts arrange for food or cake before or after the laser tag. You may need a longer time slot if you want to take a long food break in the middle.


Game Types


  • We only use the game types that are sure to be the most fun for all players.

  • These mission types have been perfected over thousands of parties before yours.

  • We use a progression of 3 or 4 game types for most parties, depending on what is best for your group of players and battlefield location.

  • Our Game Providers guide the process so there is no disagreement, only great fun.


Public Parks


  • If you do not have a suitable yard for your party you might consider using a public park.  Small neighborhood parks seem to work best.

  • The responsibility of making arrangements for use of the park belongs to the customer.  We are not responsible if authorities shut down your party.  This is very rare, but worth mentioning.  We recommend that you seek permission to use the park, which may require a permit or pavilion rental.
