Laser Tag is a recreational combat sport designed to simulate authentic military operations. In recent years it has become a popular alternative to paintball as it is considered less painful, and less messy! Paintball markers shoot actual projectiles filled with paint that can hurt a little on contact. In contrast, laser guns shoot a harmless red electrical beam.

Laser Tag is a team sport; ideally there are two groups aiming to out-shoot the other. Alternatively, it can be played individually; you have to shoot various targets in order to score points, the more targets you hit successfully the better your score obviously.

Laser Tag was born in 1979, with the release of the Star Trek Electronic Phasers. Since then it has evolved into indoor and outdoor styles of play. Everyone can play which contributes to its popularity, no previous experience is necessary and there are no serious health risks involved.
