Laser gaming is an interactive game in which participants compete in an arena using laser guns and special sensors. The goal? Score as many points as possible by hitting your opponents, while trying to remain elusive yourself. Laser gaming is often played in a dark environment with light effects, obstacles and exciting music that make the experience more intense.
Laser tagging is similar to laser gaming, but often has a slightly different approach. It is often played outdoors and focuses on tactics and strategy. Laser tagging uses advanced equipment that offers more possibilities, such as different game modes (for example "zombie mode" or "team deathmatch"). Laser tagging often has less focus on flashing light effects and is therefore more suitable for outdoor environments.
