The concept involves a recreational activity that simulates combat, using infrared-emitting targeting devices and sensors. Participants engage in team or individual matches within a designated area, often a residential setting adapted for gameplay. Scoring is based on successful tagging of opponents’ sensors with the infrared beams. Equipment typically includes a tagging device and wearable sensors. This recreational activity is usually a substitute for a professional laser tag that involves a laser tag arena.
This type of interactive entertainment promotes physical activity and strategic thinking. It fosters teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, offering a unique form of social engagement. The activity’s increasing popularity reflects a desire for active, screen-free entertainment options within the domestic environment, enabling accessible recreational activity for friends and family. This has contributed to a broader market for at-home recreational equipment.
