FAQ: What kind of safety equipment do you need?

The short answer to this is: none! There are a few points worth stating, though, as long as you’re asking…

  • The guns themselves only shoot infrared light, which is harmless to your eyes and is the same kind of light that comes out of your TV remote.
  • We require that everyone wears closed-toe shoes. Sneakers are great. Hiking boots or tactical boots are also fine and if we’re playing outside they might be preferable.
  • If we’re playing outside then long pants are almost certainly required. Only occasionally do we waive this and it’s based on the location, not on whether you forgot. Bushes, sticks, rocks, etc. all love to gash open legs and something as simple as a pair of jeans almost entirely negates it, so long pants become a sort of safety issue usually.
  • You will be wearing a hat, so if you’ve got a favorite one feel free to bring it. (We put the sensors for your head on headbands and the hats help keep the headbands clean.)
  • You may wish to bring water or food depending on the time or length of event.
