What is Laser Game?
Laser Game, also known as Laser Tag, is an activity played indoors or outdoors, simulating military combat: the goal is to eliminate opponents using laser guns.
The many Italian venues where you can enjoy this thrilling activity with friends offer various game modes: from the classic team deathmatch to more unique formats like "capture the flag" or "protect the VIP", and even free-for-all battles.
What Do I Need to Play? Equipment and How It Works
The "weapons" used during matches are typically realistic replicas of real firearms, such as the MP5 or G36, modified from those used in Airsoft (ASG, airsoft gun). Made of plastic or metal, these replicas accurately mimic the size, weight, firing rate, and even slight recoil, enhancing immersion.
The technology behind these devices ensures clear eliminations: when the laser beam hits an opponent’s vest or helmet (mandatory gear), lights and sounds are triggered, confirming a successful hit (for one player, at least!). Additionally, you can monitor the match and track player stats: shots fired, opponents defeated, accuracy percentage, and more.
As for clothing, there are no strict rules. However, many enthusiasts wear military-style gear (e.g., camouflage suits, vests, night-vision torches, or scopes) to heighten realism. Smoke grenades may also be used—if approved by the referee.
Who Can Play Laser Tag and Why Should You Try It?
Everyone! That’s the beauty of the game: no technical skills or special fitness are required. Matches are ideal for a fun day out with friends or meeting new people while trying something different.
You can choose hyper-realistic scenarios or elaborate setups straight out of a sci-fi film, catering to all tastes.
In Italy, Laser Tag has exploded in popularity, with venues everywhere—from Cuneo to Rome and Sassari—so you’re spoilt for choice!
Is Laser Game Dangerous?
Absolutely not. Licensed venues ensure simulations take place in safe environments where running, climbing, or bringing external equipment is prohibited. Physical contact is also banned, and a referee oversees gameplay for added safety.
So why wait? Dive into thrilling simulations and enjoy a unique, adrenaline-packed experience!
