We’ve had folks as young as 3 and as old young as their 80s play laser tag with us. The primary requirement for someone to be able to play is that they can handle the weight of a laser tag gun weighing about five pounds and have the desire to shoot at or with their friends and family. (We’ll warn you now: little kids will KILL you. You can’t see them coming because they’re too small and all they care about is chasing and shooting Mom/Dad/Grandma/Grandpa/etc.) In general someone between the ages of 8-10 is absolutely old enough, but individual kids vary.
As far as physical capacity goes, we’ve seen players run the entire gamut of physical capacity. We’ve seen wheelchairs (both powered and manual), amputations of each limb, inability to run, etc. The impressive thing about our tactical laser tag is that the long range on the guns (and the fact that they literally fire at the speed of light) makes it more important to move smart than to move fast. At one event with alcohol and drug counselors two older women were concerned that they couldn’t really have as much fun. After we gave them some pointers on movement they were the most desired players on a team! Simply put, physical handicaps are not a problem when you play laser tag with Mike’s Combat Games.
