What age group is this for?
Chicagoland Laser Tag is great for kids as young as 7 and adults as old as 77!  We find that the parents enjoy this game just as much as the kids.  In fact, we are never surprised to find the Mom of the Birthday Boy leading the charge on the battlefield and taking no prisoners.

Is this only for boys?
Absolutely not! Girls enjoy playing mission based games just as much as boys.

How do I know if I have been shot?
All of our equipment is linked together through RF radio transmitters and the speaker on your gun will notify you of a hit, near miss, and a kill.

Do I need an inside location with controlled lighting?
No.  Chicagoland Laser Tag equipment can be played anywhere/anytime.  Whether it is a sunny day in your back yard or a pitch black warehouse at night, Chicagoland Laser Tag has unprecedented accuracy (750 feet in daylight and 1300 feet at night).

Is Chicagoland Laser Tag insured?
Yes.

What kind of missions will we play?
Chicagoland Laser Tag will lead your guests through a series of different missions at your event.  Although our digital “Capture The Flag” game cube is our guests' favorite mission, we will also mix it up with “Protect the General”, “Elimination”, “Last Man Standing”, or we can custom create a mission that suits your event.

How many people can play at a time?
Our basic package is designed for a 5 against 5 mission. However, we can play the game with as few as 2 players and you may rent additional guns to accommodate up to 10 against 10.

(Other location ideas: Playgrounds, forests, warehouses, farms, gymnasiums, office buildings, park districts, your yard, and just about anywhere else!)

We will reschedule your event, but can't issue a refund.  Your deposit will simply be held for the rescheduled date.

Can I get my deposit refunded if I cancel the event?
