Mobile Laser Skirmish

Get Ready For Some Real Action!

Laser Skirmish is an exciting recreational sport where players attempt to score points by tagging their opponents using hand-held, hi-tech Laser Guns or Phasers. This live-action play has been inspired by popular video games such as "HALO", "Quake", "Counterstrike" and "Call of Duty".

Each Phaser emits a harmless and invisible infrared beam, similar to the remote control of a Television or Garage Door. Laser Skirmish can be played individually, or in a Team format, and at fixed locations, or at a site of your choice via a Mobile Laser Skirmish Operator.
