We’ve been running laser tag parties for over 25 years, so we’ve seen (and heard!) it all.
Here are the most common questions we get asked and the answers to help you plan an epic event.
Laser Tag in a Box is easy to plan and play. First, you select how many people you'd like to play with at once. (We suggest playing in a round-robin format so lots of people can play!) Next, select the date you'd like and the model of tagger. If you're unsure which tagger suits you, ask! Then, we deliver everything you need to run your laser tag games — no staff needed. You set up and play as much as you like. Finally, pack the gear back in the box for return. Simple!
Yes! The gear comes ready to go. Just turn it on with the key. (We include the key on a lanyard.) Plus, we include step-by-step instructions and game ideas. There is also phone support if you need it.
Laser Tag in a Box is great for big groups or small ones. How many people can play at once? Well, that depends on how many taggers you rent. Our smallest set is for eight people to play at once. Of course, players can swap in and out so everyone gets a turn. Play in a round-robin format so everyone gets a go. For big events, we can rent a set of 20, 30, or even more players. Give us a call to see what we can do for you.
Instead of using paintball pellets or gel blaster ammo, laser tag uses an invisible infrared beam—just like the one in your TV remote. That means there’s no mess, no pain, and no need for protective gear like goggles.
In other words, Laser Tag uses harmless infrared beams (no paintballs or projectiles) so it’s completely painless and eye-safe.
The "laser" is actually just invisible infrared light, like the kind your TV remote uses to change channels. There are no projectiles, no stings, and definitely no bruises.
Laser Tag is high-tech hide & seek, so it's all about fun.

Just a heads up—if you’re ordering a large laser tag rental or adding inflatable hire, you’ll need enough space to transport the gear. For the box dimensions, click here.
