For starters, laser tag has been there for
quite some time now, since 1984,
to be precise. Yes, it’s not new. Well, that said, chances are that even your
parents may have had a tryst with this recreational activity. So, if you wish
to know what has changed since then, they are the ones you should ask. Or wait.
Let’s see what could be some of the possible changes.
The activity for one is more popular now.
In fact, it has often been shown on screen. Take for example, a promotional
video that was on air recently. It was about Barney, a famous character from
“How I Met Your Mother”, an American sitcom, wanting to play laser
tag. Well, this leaves no room for doubt – Laser skirmish (as the activity
is often called) is indeed popular.
So, apart from popularity, what else has
changed? Perhaps the fact that this activity is no longer restricted to weekend
battles. These days, one can easily find kids having a blast on their birthdays
and battling it out on the field, rather than being a part of those backyard
parties that are long passé. And yes, the organisers don’t take chances anymore;
not that the ones back in the day did, but just saying. Nowadays, the activity
is often preceded by a pre-game demonstration that takes care of the safety
part.
