Built for ages 3 to 8
The sensors live in the blaster, so there is nothing to strap onto a five-year-old. No vest to size, adjust, or talk a nervous kid into wearing.
Commercial laser tag equipment
Three ways to buy commercial laser tag
Start vestless with sensors in the blaster, add LED Smart Vests, or run the full dual-play system. Same connected platform at every stage, so the tier you buy first is never the tier you regret.
- Blaster-based hit sensors
- Hot-swappable batteries
- Optional light + audio tech vests
One platform, three audiences
Start where the three-year-olds are. Grow to the forty-year-olds.
One set of smart blasters covers every stage. Add vests, add Gellets, and the same equipment keeps up as your audience widens.
Hot-swappable batteries
Swap a battery instead of taking the entire blaster out of rotation for a recharge. The equipment is designed around the pace of commercial play.
BattleCam highlights
BattleCam turns gameplay into branded, shareable player highlights that carry the venue experience beyond the match.
The blasters never become obsolete
Add Smart Vests and you reach 8 to 12. Add Gellets and you reach 10 to 40. Same blasters throughout, so nothing you buy first gets thrown away later.
Start anywhere. Expand when it makes sense.
Buy the stage that fits today. Add the next when it pays for itself.
Vestless laser tag can help operators reach younger players who may be too small for a full vest. From there, add LED Smart Vests for a more immersive laser-tag experience, then add Gellets and the Gellet hydration system to unlock Gel Blaster gameplay. Or begin at either upgrade stage from day one.

No. An operator can begin with vestless laser tag, LED Smart Vest laser tag, or the complete dual-play Gel Blaster configuration. Each stage can be an entry point, and the system can expand without replacing the core smart blasters.
