Laser TAG Games

Lasertag is a great game - played outdoors with a Laser Gun! Played very similar to paintball and in fact many of the games are played exactly the same such as capture the flag, defend the base, sniper etc. The main difference is that you don't actually fire any type or projectile but you fire a beam of infra-red light at your opponents - being hit is also unlike paintball in that it doesn't hurt, in fact you don't feel a thing.

Your gun is actually a very complex piece of electronics that is run by a microprocessor based system. Sounds are heard from the unit when you fire, reload, get hit, and even when you are out of ammo. The sound effects are part of the game, they tell the player what's happening during it's course.

In most games there is a time limit to play and of course an objective that your team must accomplish. You have a limited number of lives during play as well as a limited number of shots that can be fired at the enemy - or if you are a bad shot at your own teams mates! Games last for a maximum period of 15 minutes unless specified otherwise - that's more than enough believe me! You are a little tired at the end of most games, except sniper games where you must pace yourself to eliminate the enemy without getting knocked out.

The best thing of all is that anybody (unfortunately all players must be able-bodied, but keep watching as we are trying to find a way in which wheelchair users can join in) is welcome to have a go. You are not restricted by age as with paintball, so kids of all ages can play and you don't end up with any of those paintball bruises!
