Laser tag is a fun, safe, and interactive activity that makes for an exciting day out with friends and family. But for those unfamiliar with the game, there are a few common questions that come up when you’re a first-timer. Here’s what you need to know before you book your next adult laser tag session:
1. Does Laser Tag Hurt?
When played properly, adult laser tag is a non-contact sport and should not hurt at all. The infrared light emitted by the guns is completely harmless and any contact between players is forbidden. The only time it’ll hurt is if you accidentally walk into a wall or trip over your shoelace—make sure to take extra care when running around in the laser tag arena so you’re not a danger to yourself.
2. Is There an Age Limit?
Most laser tag arenas usually have different age requirements depending on their location. However, many offer special “adult laser tag” sessions, where the age requirement is usually 18 and above laser tagging.
It’s best to check with your local arena ahead of time to make sure you are eligible to play and get an idea of the various fun packages per age group.
3. Is There a Dress Code?
Most arenas do not require any specific attire, but comfortable clothing and sneakers are always recommended as they can help you move faster during the game. Consider wearing the following for optimal gameplay:
- Short-sleeve shirt
- Comfortable pants or shorts
- Sneakers or light athletic shoes
4. Is It Safe?
Yes! Laser tag is a completely safe and monitored activity that requires no contact between players. Most laser tag arenas also have dedicated staff members to ensure everyone’s safety while playing, along with a few guidelines:
- No running
- No physical contact between players
- Follow all instructions given by the staff members
5. How Many People Do You Need?
Most adult laser tag arenas require a minimum of 8 players to begin the game. However, larger groups can be accommodated depending on availability. The last thing you want is to show up with a large group and be turned away due to a lack of space so we recommend calling ahead of time and reserving a spot so you can have an enjoyable experience with your friends and family.
Whether you are looking for an exciting game night with friends or just want to try something new, adult laser tag is the perfect activity for everyone! Now that you know the answers to these 5 frequently asked questions about laser tag, it’s time to book your session and have some fun!
