Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help answer some of the basics about our mobile laser tag service.
Laser Tag is great entertainment and FUN for the WHOLE family. Using what we in the industry call “taggers”, players attempt to score points by tagging sensors worn by players on an opposing team. The player or team with the most points scored or players remaining after a game are declared the winners.
Our taggers do not shoot any projectiles. The only thing that comes out of the tagger is an infrared beam. It’s the same safe level IR as your TV remote.
Some advantages include:
- It’s Completely Eye-Safe
- There’s No Special Gear Is Required
- There’s No Pain and No Mess
- There’s No Ammunition Needed
- It’s Fun For ALL Ages
- There Are Multiple Game Formats
- Laser Tag Promotes Fitness, Team Building, Communication and Problem Solving
Our Laser Taggers are best for players ages 7 and up. Our taggers weigh approximately 2lbs. and players younger than age 7 may have a hard time carrying them. Players younger than age 7 may participate if they can handle the gear.
A Battle Recon Field can safely accommodate 10-20 players per game.
Laser Tag requires a lot of physical movement so players will want to wear clothing and footwear that will not be restrictive in movement.
An average Laser Tag game takes an average of 6 to 8 minutes but game time is up to you!
The more room the better. Public parks, sports fields, gyms and parking lots are ideal! However, we can even set up in an area as small as 25’ x 50’. Battle Recon has the ability to use natural surroundings, or our inflatable bunker system can make the playing field truly amazing. Residences have combined their yards together to make larger playing fields, or utilize the front and back yards together.
A large grass field is preferred but we can set up in gyms, warehouses or concrete surfaces. Battle Recon does NOT set up on DIRT surfaces. High winds may become a problem and if so we reserved the right to take down all inflatable bunkers for the safety of the players and/or our equipment.
We recommend contacting the park and recreation department of your city to find out which parks permit inflatables to be set up. If the city needs proof of insurance we can provide that at no additional cost.
Both! We come out day or night; however, most of our events do take place during the day. For night events additional lighting may be needed to help light up the field.
We serve a vast area which includes the following counties: Solano, Napa and Yolo Counties. We are happy to serve other counties; however, delivery fees will apply.
Our taggers can operate in light to moderate rain. In the event of heavy rain where we cannot continue with your party, if we have already set up the playing field, our rate will be prorated after the 1st 50%. If possible an alternative indoor venue should be available for bad weather days to avoid any charges. We are not responsible for the weather; however, the Battle Recon Commanding Officer is responsible for making weather related play/no-play decisions that protects the players and equipment.
If a cancellation needs to be made we ask for a cancellation call to be made no later than 48 hours prior to the event. If an event is canceled during hour of conduction due to weather or an unforeseen emergency, then the price is prorated.
- Cancellations made 14 or more days prior to an event will not incur any cancellation charge.
- Cancellations made 7-14 days prior to an event will incur a 50% non-refundable cancellation charge.
- Cancellations made less than 7 days prior to an event will incur a non-refundable cancellation charge equal to the amount of full event.
Rescheduling an event is always an option and can be done one time without incurring any cancellation charges. Please contact us as soon as you can. We will do our best to find a date and time to best suit your needs. Rescheduling is also subject to availability.
Yes, however we make it easy for parents to sign just one liability release form if they agree to accept full responsibility for any accidents or damages on their own property for all players/guests they invited. Since we would not know who was invited or not that extends to any one on the homeowners property and playing our games. If the homeowner does not want to accept that responsibility then it is up to the parent/homeowner to collect a Liability Release Forms for all those guests playing and then provide us those release forms.
The customer is responsible for providing the playing space and has already ensured us that no State, County, Municipality, Householder Association, bylaws, etc. prohibit activities like Laser Tag. If your Laser Tag Party cannot take place for any of the former or similar reasons, payment is still due in full.
Additional hours may be booked the day of the event if we do not have another scheduled party. It is always best to book additional hours before the event to assure enough playing time.
Our party hosts take pride in making your party experience amazing! If you feel they went above and beyond then the extra appreciation is always nice. All gratuities go directly to our event specialist.
