Top Tips for Winning Laser Tag

Laser tag is a fun and exciting activity that is enjoyed by people of all ages and groups of any size. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, there are some tips and tricks that can help you claim the winning title at our laser tag in Gloucestershire.

Dress Appropriately

Wearing the right clothing can make a big difference in your laser tag performance as you can decrease your visibility to other players in the arena. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, restrictive clothing can hinder you’re A-game! Avoid wearing anything too bulky or restrictive that may impede your movement. Also, our team recommend choosing dark-coloured clothing to blend in with the low-lighting environment of the laser tag arena.

At Funky Laser Tag, our indoor laser tag is cleverly designed with dark lighting and luminous vests in the arena.  

Stay Low and Move Fast

When playing laser tag, it's essential to stay low and move fast, although running is not typically allowed in an indoor venue for safety reasons. This will make you a smaller target and harder to hit, the nimbleness and quick pace can enable you to avoid the laser beams from opponents. Briskly move around the indoor play area and use obstacles for cover. Be quick on your feet and don't be afraid to make sudden movements to throw off your opponents and take the lead.

Know the Arena

Take some time to familiarise yourself with the laser tag arena in the first few moments of the game. Look for hiding spots, obstacles, and ground that can give you an advantage during the game. Knowing the layout of the arena can help you plan your movements and stay ahead of your opponents. At Funky Laser Tag, our indoor play area in Cheltenham will talk our players through the process and enable players a few minutes to scout out the area and get into position.  

You can choose to play 1,2 or 3 games with us and as time goes on, you will naturally become more familiar with your surroundings.  

Use Your Senses

In laser tag, your senses are your most valuable tool, therefore, you should listen for footsteps, breathing, and other sounds that can give away your opponent's position. Use your peripheral vision to scan the area and watch for any movements. Also, be aware of your own movements and avoid making noise or giving away your position. Special upgrades will be announced through your industry-leading vests and laser tag guns at Funky Laser Tag, so listen out and boost your points.  

Work as a Team

If you're playing laser tag with a group, it's essential to work together as a team. Communicate with your teammates and coordinate your movements to gain an advantage over your opponents. Use hand signals or verbal cues to communicate your position and avoid friendly fire. If you are looking for fun things to do in Gloucestershire with friends, family, colleagues or a solo adventure, Funky Laser Tag is a great option to consider.
