Our delivery drivers have been briefed as follows: Drivers will knock or ring your doorbell, and wait till you open it. Then, once they see you they can leave the box with you.
We are still required to ask and confirm the recipient’s name.
Drivers are no longer need to get your signature as proof of delivery. Please note we do not have an "authority to leave" policy. So someone does need to be at your address for both delivery & collection.
Please note that we cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. (NOTE: While Startrack does their best to deliver all of our packs door to door there are some regional and rural areas where your order may be delivered directly to the post office. This is most likely for delivery addresses that regularly collect mail from their local post office or have tricky access to their property. In these instances you will get a card to notify you that you've a delivery for collection and you will also receive an email update from Startrack letting you know as well.)

The phasers have 3 sensors - 2 on the headband (front & back) and 1 on the toy's barrel. The phasers work using infrared (like your TV remote) and emit a signal to the other player's equipment. When a gamer is tagged the phaser makes a sound to let you know that you've got the other guy, and when you've been tagged.
The good news is that this gear is pretty robust. But if something is broken, as per your terms and conditions you will be charged for what was damaged or lost. You can find a summary of these prices, click here.
No. Our equipment does not shoot lasers, rather they work using infrared (just like a TV remote). The beam itself is invisible and harmless. For more info on safety, click here.
When you are tagged your phaser will make a sound effect. When you are first tagged the SFX is "You're Tagged". When you lose your last health point you will hear "You're Deactivated".
When you tag someone on the opposition's team your phaser will say "tagged" or "de-activated".
The next model, and our most popular, is the awesome tagger called the "Black Cobra". This model comes with an integrated red dot scope. This weighs around 2kg (4 lbs).
Finally, there is the Scorpion. This one is usually rented to teens & adults. It is made from metal and weighs 2.2kg (5lbs).
Included in your inflatable hire pack is an electric air blower. Each inflatable only takes a few minutes to inflate.

This brand of laser tag equipment is a fine balance between innovative live gaming technology and practical experience. We believe we've got the most robust, most flexible commercial outdoor laser tag equipment in the world today. The laser tag equipment is made by Battlefield Sports. The phaser is turned on with a key. After a few seconds, the phaser will say "game start".
To play put on your bandanna on your head, tying it at the back. We use the colour of the bandanna to tell teams apart. Next, put the headband over the bandanna with the twirly sensor cable to the back so it does not go in front of your eyes. The cable goes under your arm so it is out of the way during play.
The large tube at the front of the phaser is where the infrared light that triggers tags comes from. It is important during gameplay that this tube is kept clear of cover. You will need to aim. It is very important to turn the phasers off with the key whenever they are not in use. This will save a lot of battery power and means more playtime for everyone.
The laser taggers are weather-resistant; you can play in showers or light rain. However, play should be postponed during very heavy rain or storms with the phasers stored under cover and switched off.
Each Laser Tagger has a display. The display gives you some useful info during the game.
LINE 1: shows the current hit points (HP5/5) this is the number of times a player can be tagged before they are deactivated. The digits before the slash are your current hit points and the digits after the slash are the maximum hit points. Players are restored to maximum hit points when they receive a reactivation or start a new game.
Following the HP, listed is A50/50. Players have a mag of 50 ammo they can use before they need to reload. Reloading happens automatically, though it does take a few seconds.
LINE 2: Will say "cobra" then R UL. R UL means unlimited reloads.LINE 3: Has some real-time stats. T = the number of times you've tagged someone, that did not cause deactivation. D = the number of times you've deactivated someone on the other team. S is for the number of times this phaser has been reactivated during the current game. 1X stands for no team. Your kit will come with the team set. R = Red, B = Blue.
LINE 4: This shows the current status i.e. ready. Next is the mode of operation i.e. FA means rapid fire or full auto. Finally, if it is a timed game, it will should the amount of time left in the game.
What are the standard Software settings?
The phasers come pre-set with standard software settings to make your event simple to run. Our standard Laser tag software settings are a set of defaults suitable for family-friendly games.
Half of your hire phasers will be set to the red team and half will be set to the blue team.
The red team cannot tag other players on the red team. Likewise blue cannot tag blue. Blue can only tag red. And red and only tag blue.
All phasers will be configured to easy mode and medium range.
Phasers also come set into hire mode. In hire mode, if the unit is turned on with a key, it boots straight to a "ready" state bypassing all the complex menus.
Are there any Incentives for Repeat Hires?
Yes. There are incentives such as bonuses and specials for repeat hires. If you wish to know whether you are eligible, or to book on multiple dates please ask our friendly staff.
