OUR LASERTAG GUIDELINES

LASERTAG Rules & Regulations for Steeltown Event Park

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.

Keep both hands on the phaser. No removing or covering sensors — doing so is cheating and grounds for removal.
Laser tag is strictly non-contact. No pushing, shoving, grabbing, tackling, or any body contact — zero tolerance, results in ejection.
Move at a brisk walk or controlled jog. No sprinting full-speed, no sliding, diving, or aggressive charges to prevent collisions and injuries.
Do not climb, sit on, or lean excessively on arena barriers/obstacles — they are not designed to support weight and can cause falls or damage.
Only shoot when you have a clear line of sight. No random spraying around corners or blindly — risks hitting refs or wasting shots.
When tagged (sensors flash/vibrate), raise phaser overhead immediately and exit to the safe/dead zone. Stay out of play until respawn or game end — no arguing hits.
Stay inside the marked arena. Listen to referees at all times. Disputes go to refs — arguing or ignoring calls leads to penalties or removal.
No shielding sensors with hands/clothing, no tampering with equipment. Play fair — everyone’s here for fun and fair competition.
Communicate with teammates. Use cover, flanks, and tactics — it's about skill and teamwork, not aggression.
Keep it fun and controlled. Excessive roughness or unsafe behavior ends your session.

SO MANY SAFE WAYS TO PLAY LASERTAG

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:
