For decades, laser tag has been a staple attraction for family entertainment centers. From the black lights and heart-pumping music to the exciting, competitive gameplay, there is something truly unique and special about a laser tag attraction. Let’s take a closer look at what has kept laser tag a popular and profitable attraction over the years.
Equipment features have evolved
While the basics of the game still stand, laser tag equipment is very different today than it was when the attraction was starting out. The look, feel, and features of the equipment have all been enhanced throughout the years.
In addition to a sleek, futuristic look and front magnetic vest latch, our CyberBlast Pro system is packed with exciting features like a built-in selfie camera, touchscreen LCD, and dual aiming and tagging lasers. As technology progresses, laser tag systems must progress to keep players engaged.
It’s no longer viewed as a “kid’s game”.
Laser tag may have been viewed as more of a kids’ attraction in the past, but today, laser tag is loved and played by people of all ages. With more imaginative and well-themed arenas, advanced equipment, and game type variety, laser tag extends far beyond children’s birthday parties. From date nights to bachelor parties and beyond, the adult crowd is getting in on the laser tag action.
Highly immersive features enhance the player experience.
In addition to equipment enhancements, the interactive arena options available have come a long way. Operators can cultivate a highly immersive, interactive attraction for their laser tag players, making the game more thrilling than ever.
At LaserBlast, we have a wide variety of interactive options to take your attraction ot the next level. From AI Projector Targets, which bring animated opponents to life in your arena, to Trivia Tag Terminals that add a unique and educational twist to the game, and more, it is easier than ever to enhance your laser tag attraction.
Plus, with DMX integration, lighting, sound, fog, wind, and other effects can be triggered by guests, enabling them to actually bring the arena to life through their gameplay.
A perfect group activity.
Laser tag continues to reign as one of the top fun center attractions for groups. Due to the nature of the game, it is easy for large groups to participate all at the same time. Attractions such as bowling, mini golf, and VR typically limit players to a smaller group size, breaking groups apart. These attractions tend to have more of a “turn-taking” format, which can lead to a lot more waiting than actual gameplay time.
When it comes to laser tag, your only limit is the number of vests you have for your attraction. Groups can all join in the same game at the same time, allowing everyone to get in on the high-energy competition together.
Laser tag continues to hold onto its popularity since its introduction circa 1984. Equipment and arena innovations have kept the game unique and interesting, and allowed it to appeal to a wider audience. Even as technology continues to evolve, people will continue to seek connection and fun with each other, keeping face-to-face, group fun opportunities as relevant today as ever.
