Tips for laser tag players

Advice for laser tag players — beginners and regulars. Classic articles plus fresh guides on modern arena and outdoor play (2024–2026).

Tips for beginners

  • First time? Start with a 15-minute session — enough to learn without exhaustion.
  • Bring a change of clothes; you will sweat.
  • No heels or bare feet — sturdy trainers with good grip.
  • Remove watches and loose jewellery; plastic glasses are safer than glass lenses.
  • Ask staff about game mode, lighting and smoke before you start.
  • Dark clothing still helps in dim arena mazes.
