How long have you been in business? A: We have been operational for more than three years! We have recently rebuilt and overhauled the management and operation team to handle the high demand for parties and events. We have turned the corner from being a small mom and pop event company to a truly professional entertainment center!    Q: Do you use real lasers? Do you use real lasers? A: Absolutely not. Fire tag uses harmless infrared light to emit its signal back and forth between taggers. We use the same infrared emitters used in 90 percent of all remote controls. So, fire tag is completely safe and harmless.    Q: What do I wear? What do I wear? A: We strongly encourage durable, long legged pants or clothing. Due to the nature of the sport, our players tend to slide, crawl, jump and hide in all types of terrain and conditions. Firetag is played both indoors and outdoors in our corporate fields. We ask that people wear tennis shoes or boots when playing to protect their feet from getting hurt or damaged. Adventure Sports reserves the right to deny anyone from participating in an event if their attire is not suitable for playing conditions.    Q: Can I play outdoors? Can I play outdoors? A: Yes, the range of Adventure Sports' equipment is incredible. The taggers can shoot 2,000 feet at night, although we never play at that range to ensure complete safety and fun. The quality and durability of the equipment allows battle in any type of outdoor event or environment. We love to play outdoors, but we also play indoors and have just as much fun!    Q: How does the equipment work? How does the equipment work? A: The equipment uses harmless infrared light to emit a coded signal (beam) that is picked up by three head sensors and goes through the onboard computer to register a hit on the taggers.    Q: How do I "hit" someone? How do I "hit" someone? A: Every tagger has its own high-tech tactical scope. Most taggers have a 40mm red dot scope with a red dot in the middle for sighting. Our long-range taggers have powerful tactical telescopic scopes that make it really easy to hit people at distance.    Q: How do I get eliminated from play? How do I get eliminated from play? A: We have several different types of games played on the field. Unlike paintball players can be hit multiple times and still play in the game. We call them hit points. Each time your tagger is hit, you lose a hit point. The hit points range from one to 99, so games can last as short or long as we choose. We want people to play and have fun. No one likes to be on the sideline sitting out.    Q: How can I tell if I have been hit? How can I tell if I have been hit? A: The hit lights on the tagger blink several times, and the tagger screams "ouch" while displaying a hit on your tagger's LED/LCD.    Q: What happens when I've lost all my hit points? What happens when I've lost all my hit points? A: The tagger then goes into deactivation mode (DEAC), in which the tagger's hit light stays on signifying the player is out of the game. Also, the unit screams "Medic, Medic! Man down, Man down!" This tells the team medic that you need to be reactivated or out of the game.    Q: How many people can play? How many people can play? A: We have equipment for over 100 people, and battlefields that can hold up to 200 players. So, the size of your group is not an issue. The more players, the more intense the game. We recommend at least six players for an outing or game, but it really cranks up with ten or more people. No matter how many players, the game is always fun!    Q: How old do I have to be to play? How old do I have to be to play? A: We only allow players that are nine years old and up due to safety and insurance liabilities. Younger players can participate if accompanied by an adult on the battlefield.    Q: How is Fire Tag different from indoor laser tag? How is Fire Tag different from indoor laser tag? A: Although we love indoor laser tag, our game is completely different in play and strategy. Indoor laser tag is geared more for the 6-14 year age range. Indoor laser tag usually played in a small, confined black light facility with lots of music and pulsating light. Fire tag is played in much bigger areas in more of a tactical Halo, Ghost Recon setting. Our taggers have much more range and actual scopes that allow players to aim at their target. Our game is played by sneak and hide, straight out assault or tactics. Play is more team based and objective driven than indoor tag, which is geared more towards individual players.    Q: How heavy are the taggers? How heavy are the taggers? A: The taggers range from four pounds to nine pounds depending on the unit. Most of our units have collapsible stocks to make sure the tagger has proper balance.    Q: Do the taggers make noise? Do the taggers make noise? A: Yes. Each tagger has both SCI-FI noises and real modern day military sounds. Every time you shoot, reload, get hit or deactivate the tagger, it speaks to you. It's the ultimate rush    Q: How do I book an event? How do I book an event? A: To book events please click the following link: olaser.com. We recommend that you book as soon as possible because space is limited and granted on a first come first serve basis.    Q: How long does a typical game last? How long does a typical game last? A: The typical length of a game is 20-30 minutes followed by a 5-10 minute break. Since we use light instead of consumable ammo, we can get games started in seconds rather than minutes. This makes for a rapid and fun play style and environment.    Q: What is a typical type of mission? What is a typical type of mission? A: The typical mission is objective based like you see in many of the action movies. For example, a scenario might play out like this: the other team has captured one of your players and you need to rescue him/her. You might need to battle to a specific point and recapture your player or eliminate the opposing team to win the scenario. Either way every player is throwing a lot of light at the other team. It’s the ultimate rush!    Q: Do you have different types of missions? Do you have different types of missions? A: Yes, we have over 20 types of missions to play. They range from Rescue to Escort to simple elimination runs.    Q: Do I have to put down a deposit to book a party or event? Do I have to put down a deposit to book a party or event? A: Yes.
