lazer tag at the Kalahari!

Here are some tips and tricks on how to not suck at laser tag. this is on laser tag at the Kalahari, but you can use these tricks in any laser tag, paintball, or air soft battle.
Don't think you are too young or old to do this, I saw a older couple (60ish) doing fine.
Also this is my first Instructable so if you give helpful advice that would be great.
Now back to laser tag, YAY!

Step 1 Basics

Now the basic layout of the vest. There are 4 targets on the front like the picture, and 2 long targets on the back. Your gun has a readout of the time you have left, you start with five minutes, and you have unlimited shots. When you start you get buzzed in by the worker there. They say no running(ignore that if you don't run you die) and no jumping on the rocks(listen to them on that. One guy tried that and smoked his face on the floor. it was quite funny but it looked like it hurt.)

When the vest says "laser armed" that means you can be shot, then "Laser runner on" that means you can shoot(It seems kind of backwards to me but O well) . You need to aim for the targets on the other people's vests. There are NO teams so every man for them self, unless you want to make a trues with someone(really good idea if you know them and know they won't shoot you.) The colors don't mean anything. And I hope everyone knows this but when you pull the trigger it shoots. When you get shot the vest "powers down" temporarily, you know that by the vest buzzing and the vest colors going away. You can't shoot for 5 seconds when it "reboots" and you cant be shot.

I was curious about that as well.. currently I'm picturing a laser tag match in the 'Kalahari' that Lemonie is thinking about. xD

What do you mean by don't jump on the rocks? Why aren't you aloud to run?

[thekid]

its a safty thing if they tell u not to and you get hurt they aren't liable or they figure people listen ( they don't)

[Bowenj]

Its actually really simple. Just stand so your side points at the enemy(or group of enemies) there aren't any targets on the sides of the vests so its harder for them to hit you. You survive much longer that way.

you can go to the Kalahari (visit their web site) Or you could make you own arena.(way cooler and probably cheaper)

[sebberdreng]

where can i get it and what do it cost?

The Kalahari is a family oriented resort/water park/hotel in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Virginia. They have a laser tag area.
