Understand the game modes and rules for an epic laser tag battle.
OUR LASERTAG GUIDELINES

Violations of safety rules result in referee penalties, including removal from the game or facility.

LASERTAG Rules & Game Modes
Laser tag (tagger-sensor style) is a high-tech, fast-paced team combat game using infrared laser taggers/phasers with built-in sensors—no vests required. Players aim directly at the sensor on the enemy’s tagger to score hits. These modes are designed for 8-20 players in arenas (indoor blacklight mazes, outdoor fields, or multi-level battlegrounds).
