What should players wear?+
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes that you can move around in. Athletic clothing and sneakers are recommended.
Does laser tag hurt?+
No. Our laser tag equipment does not shoot paintballs, pellets, projectiles or anything that physically hits you. Players score hits electronically, so you get the excitement of tactical combat without getting shot by a projectile.
Are real lasers used?+
No. Despite the name "laser tag," our tactical equipment uses infrared technology to register hits. Nothing dangerous is being fired at another player. Our equipment uses tactical-style taggers, scopes and electronic hit detection to create a more realistic experience than traditional old-school laser tag.
Is this like old-school laser tag?+
Not even close. Armageddon is a new generation of tactical laser tag. Instead of the old-school vest-and-beeper experience, our players use tactical-style equipment with scopes and play objective-based missions in an immersive battlefield environment. Think more tactical video game brought to life than traditional 1990s laser tag.
What equipment do you use?+
Armageddon uses high-tech tactical taggers with built-in sensors. Players do not use bulky laser tag vests.
