Before we begin, I’d like to make sure that we all understand we’re not talking about explosives here. Nope. Our bombs are about as inert as you can get. They’re just laser tag props. We actually have three slightly different bombs that we use for different types of missions, and despite the name, they’re rarely actually bombs in the mission.
Completely inert and safe, our “bombs” aren’t usually actually bombs, but as far as laser tag props go, they’re a blast.
So what are they? Well, depending on the mission they’re critical computer or missile parts, a radio telephone, a transmitter for secret messages, pieces of navigation equipment, or any of a thousand other things. If we’re pulling out a bomb expect to go looking for the pieces in a race before the other team can find them or bet that your team needs to carry them across the field and keep them safe and secret. Perhaps you’ll get a clue to a secondary objective but only if you can find the missing pieces, or maybe you don’t dare touch them and need to escort a specialist to figure out what to do with them. Not only do we rarely use them the same way twice, but if we’re pulling out a bomb we’re probably creating a custom scenario for your group right there in front of you that’s designed to highlight exactly the things your particular group is having the most fun with.
Like I said, our “bombs” are rarely bombs, but they’re always fun and a perfect example of what we mean when we say that the guns aren’t the point of the play on the field. They’re actually one of the most flexible laser tag props available.
