TIPS FOR WINNING AT LASER TAG

Wear dark colors. Under a black-light, it’s fun to wear bright, neon colors, but if you’re looking to win, you’ll want to go with dark clothing to blend into the arena. Remember–you can’t tag what you can’t see!

 

Explore the arena. Find some good hiding spots and see where everyone gravitates. Taking one or two laps around the course early on in the game will improve your knowledge of the arena and set your team up for success. 

 

Make Yourself Smaller. It’s important to remember that people will be shooting at you, too, while you’re playing laser tag. For that reason, be sure to make yourself smaller and prevent a direct hit–especially while you’re plotting your next attack. 

 

Find Good Hiding Places. The most effective shots in laser tag come from places your opponents never see coming. That’s why it’s always beneficial to settle into a good hiding place before locking into your target and firing away. 

 

Keep moving. Try to rotate between several good vantage points throughout the arena. It’s also good to move sideways instead of walking straight forward. This makes your sensors less visible to any opponents coming in front or behind you. 

 

Keep shooting. Once you see someone, keep firing. You’re bound to hit them. Don’t forget you can bounce your lasers off of walls, so if you can’t hit someone directly, try to hit them indirectly by going for a corner. 

 

If you follow these laser tag tips and keep honing your strategy, you’ll be an expert after a few good rounds.
