Lazer tag is a sport loosely related to the original game of tag. While seen by some as having more relation to the sport of paintball, laser tag differs mainly in the technology used, rather than the environment it is played in. Similar to paintball, there are styles of play that lean heavily toward military simulations, and other types that are quick fire fights to determine the best player on a small field. This variation means that there's a style of laser tag that can appeal to almost anyone, from military simulation fanatics, to sci-fi live action role players, to kids just having fun.

So, whats the differance from paintball?

The are two main differences - The Equipment and No Bruises!

Outdoor Laser Tag is not too different on the surface from indoor laser tag but quite a bit different under the surface. Real lasers are not used due to the hazards to players and anyone within blinding range, partly because of the increased laser power required when playing outdoors and because there are no walls to block the laser from travelling miles. The range required is much greater so better optics are used, and full sunlight requires improvements in both sensor and IR emitters. The sensors are on the TALON as well as on the hat worn by the players.

Typical range of the TALON is 100+mts in full sunlight. and 200+mts on a dull day. There are no score cards or central computer. Each TALON has a stand-alone computer and missions are scored by team results.

When playing paintball you can sustain bruises with laser tag you are not hit by a projectile just a harmless infra red beam therefore no chance of bruising - unless you fall in the woods. The game is safe and fully insured. There is no need to wear a mask just camouflage coveralls and a hat.

The Games

Team and Solo Games The two most common laser tag games are Team Games and Solo Missions. Both usually feature an unlimited amount of ammunition, and an unlimited number of lives. In a team game, teams are distinguished by different coloured LEDs. In solo missions, everyone is fair game for everyone else, though informal teams and packs are sometimes formed.

Elimination Games

Elimination formats allow each player a limited number of lives, which are lost by being tagged, and may be played in team or solo variations. When a player has no more lives remaining, their game is over and they must leave the arena. The objective in a team elimination format is to be the last team with players still surviving. The game ends when only one team remains, or when time runs out. The objective in a solo elimination game is to be the only player left alive, and the game ends when only one player remains, or when time runs out.

Specialty Games

Specialty games are games with complex rules, such as objective based games. The rules for such games are widely varied and depend on the location of the event. At FRONTLINE LEISURE LAKES we have Woodland Madness, The Bridge, and the village.

The range of specialty games is limited only by the capabilities of the players and the equipment.
