Your Safety is Our Priority

At Laser Tag in a Box, we’re committed to delivering an experience that’s fun, exciting — and safe for everyone. Our equipment is designed with safety in mind and meets the highest operational standards.

Below, we’ve answered some common questions to give you peace of mind about how we keep laser tag safe and enjoyable for all.

Are Laser Taggers Safe?

Yes—absolutely! Despite the name Laser Tag, there are actually no real lasers involved. The game is perfectly safe, and best of all, it’s seriously fun and exciting!

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.

Can Laser Tag hurt you?

Nope—laser tag won’t hurt a bit!

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.

What Does “L-A-S-E-R” Stand For?

Good question!
LASER is an acronym for:

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

But here’s the twist: Laser Tag doesn’t actually use lasers!
Our equipment uses infrared light only (like your TV remote), so there’s nothing to worry about — just safe, mess-free fun.

Public Liability Insurance

We carry Public Liability Insurance up to $20 million to cover events run by our team.

If you're hiring our gear for a school fete or community event, you may need your own liability coverage.

Our laser tag gear is manufactured by Battlefield Sports, and each unit comes with its own Safety Certificate. The equipment also meets CE and FCC safety standards.

Laser Tag in a Box is committed to children's well being

Pathfinder Events Pty Ltd trading as Laser Tag in a Box is committed to children’s safety and well-being.

Our organisation is dedicated to promoting less screen time and more green time.

We champion and model a child safe culture at all levels of the organisation, from the top down and from the bottom up.

Inflatable Safety

We also offer inflatable obstacles for hire — perfect for creating cover and obstacles during your games.

Here’s what you need to know:

Our inflatables are inflated via an air blower and sealed with a bung or one-way valve.

They are not continuous-blower style inflatables, so once inflated, they stay up.

For safety reasons, we don’t provide tent pegs or tie-down ropes, as they can be tripping hazards.
