Outdoor/Indoor Laser Tag
Is laser tag dangerous?
Generally laser tag is safe but any active sport has the high potential for injury. Players run around creating the excitement of the game, but also creating the high potential for injuries. Players have fallen from playground equipment. Bumps, bruises, scraped knees and elbows are a norm. Players have run into each other and accidentally hit each other with the equipment. Insects and poison ivy are regular hazards in the playing area and therefore can be an issue. We try to warn players of hazards and often “tape off” areas as hazards. Please point out potential hazards to your mission director at the beginning of our set up time and prior to game-play..
Will the lasers hurt the players eyes?
No. The guns do not actually shoot laser beams at the players. Indoor and outdoor laser tag guns shoot beams of infra-red light to tag the opposing players on sensors. Flash light tag would be a more accurate name for the games but marketing people decided to give the game a more exciting name.
If you play in the day, how do they see the laser?
Indoor and outdoor laser tag guns use infrared light to hit the opponent’s sensors. A person cannot see the “laser beams” that are shot playing laser tag. Both indoor and outdoor guns use a red flasher to create the illusion of a laser beam being shot from the gun. Indoor facilities because of the limited distance and dark conditions appear to allow the players to see a laser beam or flash. In close quarters and dark conditions the outdoor guns mimic that effect as well. Outdoor guns have sights that the player aims at the opposing player and if the players are close enough the shooting player can hear if the speaker on the other players sounds off. At distance they must use body language to tell if the player was hit. .
Can laser tag be played in the daytime?
Outdoor laser tag is probably better in the daytime. Indoor facilities have to use low light levels to enhance game-play because of the limited space available in a leased warehouse. .
Who Can Play
Do you have adult parties?
Of course! We regularly have corporate events!! Adult and corporate parties please look at the Parties Page to see what Parties we host.
We have a younger child as well. Can they play as well?
Younger siblings are welcome to play as well. The guns weigh about 2.5 the lightest in the industry. But sometimes 6 years and younger have difficulty understanding the team play concepts. Our policy of a starting age of 6 years old is only meant to prevent parties of 20 five year olds.
Can you accommodate players with special needs?
Is laser tag appropriate for my daughter?
My nieces are four, six, and eight years old. They love playing especially the 4 year old and I am sure your daughter will enjoy it just as much.
BOOKINGS
Can I book a rain Date
No. Our expierance has been that some customers will postpone a party on dates that have a small potential chance of ran in the forecast. If we give them an escape route of a rain date. Parties that had a great weather conditons were lost because of weathrman's incorrect guesses. Families that wanted to schedule parties had to be denied because of other clients' insistence on booking multiple time periods to insure optimal weather conditions. This is not a fair practice and creates a nightmare for scheduling.
How far do you travel?
We are based in Orange County California. We will perform parties all over the County Long distance parties must be scheduled. We would like to schedule them during weekdays as our weekends generally have multiple local parties. Long distance parties on weekends should be booked weeks in advance to insure availability in our schedule, so that it would not interfere with our ability to service our local clients. Two hour driving time one way from our location would probably be our maximum range of service.
Do you charge a reservation fee?
Yes We request a reservation fee for Birthday Parties of $50. Cancelled reservation with less than 15 day notice is non-refundable. However we don't need a reservation fee for last minute callers. We understand that life sometimes gets in the way of our plans and we try very hard to accommodate our client’s needs. All we ask is that if your plans change please notify us up to 4 hours of event. We can usually re-rent the time to our frequent last minute callers.
How do we pay you?
We accept cash, checks and credit cards as payment. There is a service fee for credit cards. We also need to know in advance if you palan to use a credit card.
