Understand the game modes and rules for an epic laser tag battle.
OUR LASERTAG GUIDELINES
Laser tag uses safe infrared taggers (phasers) to hit sensors on taggers — no projectiles, no pain, eye-safe beams, perfect for all ages (typically 7+ or height minimum).
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).
Standard rules apply to all:
