The past 12 months have been nothing short of exhilarating.
As the sun rises on a new year, operators must not only keep pace but also lead the charge into the thrilling world of innovative game play.
So, gather around gaming enthusiasts and laser tag operators as we delve into the top three live-action gaming trends of 2025.
Picture this: a moonlit night, the scent of freshly cut grass, and the echoes of children's laughter as they engage in an age-old favorite – capture the flag. But hold on, this isn't your typical backyard escapade.
Enter Battlefield Sports’ "Electronic" Capture the Flag game. This is a modern twist on a cherished classic.
In this game, there are no flags made of material. Instead, the flags are virtual.
The payers must nab a virtual flag by shooting their opposing team’s base. They then race back to their base and shoot that, depositing a flag for their team.
Nostalgia takes center stage as retro games make a triumphant comeback, offering an immersive experience that bridges generations.
Here, at the intersection of memory and innovation, summer camps and laser tag operators can tap into the reservoir of childhood joy, creating unforgettable moments for kids and teens.
As global inflation mitigates and we bid farewell to the shadows of the pandemic, the gaming industry is on the rebound.
According to 300mind, the gaming industry is projected to soar to an impressive USD 376.08 billion by 2028.
This resurgence is fuelled by the emergence of new games, with mobile live-action gaming witnessing a notable upswing.
After several years of suppressed numbers, many operators enjoy forward bookings for bigger events.
The rebound presents an exciting opportunity for operators to align with the wave of gaming enthusiasm and offer players a chance to join a thriving global gaming community.
While fantasy and zombie-themed experiences have long captured the hearts of laser tag players, there's a new contender on the stage – the rise of magic.
This trend is evidenced in video games such as Hogwarts Legacy, which was an instant hit upon release. The game, set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, has sold a staggering 30 million units, according to Statista.
The allure of magic opens doors to a realm of possibilities for operators. Imagine gamers casting spells, embarking on quests, and navigating enchanted landscapes. Springboarding on its patented technology, Battlefield Sports delivers a new way to play, Magic Tag.
It's not just a game; it's an odyssey of magic and wonder.

AI indeed hogged the gaming news cycle for most of the last year.
It is tempting to wonder if the age of human-centric game development is closing.
However, the symbiosis between humans and AI in live-action gaming is still in its early stages.
Generative AI tools may streamline processes and cut costs, but the implications remain mysterious.
For laser tag operators, the fusion of human creativity and AI innovation could pave the way for groundbreaking experiences in which technology enhances but never eclipses the essence of play.
As we reflect on the past few years, one thing is crystal clear – advancements in development, gameplay, and overall experience have revolutionized the live-action gaming industry.
For summer camp and mobile laser tag operators alike, being at the forefront of innovation isn't just an aspiration; it's a necessity.
Staying updated on the latest gaming trends not only provides a competitive edge but also ensures that your players are part of an experience that pushes the boundaries of technology, storyline, and gameplay. In the quest for the ultimate gaming adventure, operators are not alone.
