Games take 20-25 minutes start to finish, with 12-15 minutes of that being active playing time. Comfortable clothing and athletic shoes are best. You will probably be playing with other members of the general public; team sizes are determined by how many are ready to play. Generally kids should be at least 5 or 6, so they can wear the vest comfortably.

Mobile Laser Tag

If you are looking to hold a laser tag party but the arena locations aren't convenient, that's OK! There are several mobile laser tag companies in the great LA/OC area, too. For these parties, you provide the location, and the company brings laser guns, barricades, inflatables, a mission commander, and whatever add-ons you select.
