Here is some information to help you play the laser tag games.
Each player has a phaser. There are 3 sensors – 2 on the head & 1 on the barrel.
In the picture, see the black dome on the boy's headband. Also note the black dome halfway up the phaser. These are the sensors.
Sensors are mounted on a headband using the clip on the back of the dome.
Aim for these sensors. The headband goes over a coloured bandanna. The colours tell the teams (red vs blue). Aim with either the red-dot scope or the peep sight depending on which model you’ve rented.
Each time you tag an opponent your phaser says “Tagged!” The display shows the number of tags after the letter T. The display shows your current health between 0 & 5 after HP. D is for deactivated & shows many players you have deactivated. See page 3 for more detail about the display.
The red button is for reloading and the black button is for changing from rapid fire to single shot. The phaser automatically reloads. Players should not need to use the buttons.
These phasers are sophisticated technology but easy to use.
The laser tagger consists of:
There are two sides of the coin when it comes to laser tag games: tagging and getting tagged.
Here's what happens when you are tagged.
Here's how to tag a player in a laser tag game.
There are two parts to playing and winning, at laser tag games.
Here's how to tag an opponent. This is the other side of the coin in terms of game-play.
Each laser tagger has 3 integrated sensors, 2 at the end of the twirly cable (these go on your head) and 1 on the barrel. Aim for these sensors and pull the trigger.
Here is a video which explains it.
The laser tag phasers are made of fibre-reinforced polycarbonate (plastic) or lightweight metal (aluminium). They have an integrated peep sight or an authentic red-dot scope.
Each unit has a computer system inside it (we call this the "SATR" system). The units work peer-to-peer. So you can turn the units on with a key and start playing immediately!
You aim using a red dot scope or a peep sight.
The little red dot is an optical illusion and is harmless.
Point the dot so it is pointing towards your opponent's sensors and pull the trigger.
What is "re-activation"?
When a "de-deactivated" player goes back to where they started from & gets re-activated (either with a Master Controller or with a medic box) and then re-joins the game.
Depending on how the game is set up, you can have no reactivations, unlimited reactivations, or reactivations for a limited amount of time.
The display at the back of the phaser gives you your statistics in real-time.
The first line of the display shows your hit point (or "lives") and ammo. So, in this case, the player has 5 out of 5 hit points. And has 50 out of 50 ammunition.
The second line show unlimited reloads. It also shows "Ts" and "Ds". This stands for the number of times a gamer has Tagged someone and the number of Deactivations.
The third line shows the accuracy percentage. It shows a medium range. And it shows that this unit is on the "B" team.
