Imagine you are running a mobile laser tag event and you will have up to 20 gamers playing at a time.
In this example, we have 10 Cobras Laser Taggers on the blue team and 10 Cobras Taggers on the red team.
We recommend packing 22 units (10% spares).
The rule of thumb for creating your pop-up maze is to have, at a minimum, one shape per player.
Two shapes per gamer are even better!
If space allows place the shapes a couple of meters (about 6 feet) apart.
Large and medium brick shapes are the best building blocks for a Laser Tag pop-up field as they are a good balance between stability, weight, and the amount of cover they provide the players.
For older gamers, a few inflatable building structures using hero inflatables near the center of the field improve the experience. These structures are not suitable for younger gamers as they create a collision risk. The rule about not running through doorways or around corners must be enforced.
This would enable you 120 per hour throughput. If you charge $5 for 5 minutes that would be approximately $600 per hour at full capacity. A second set of gaming guns can boost the throughput to 170 or 180 gamers per hour. Because you could get through a game roughly every 7 minutes since you would be kitting out one group of gamers, while the first group was playing.

A step-by-step operations guide is available for download from the Battlefield Sports University.
This guide includes marketing, website recommendations, configuring all the SATR3 mobile laser tag equipment, and how to run the following games:
Electronic Capture the Flag or
for youngsters, Bullseye.
Using the inflatables is also covered in the Battlefield Sports operations guide.
With SATR3 you have a choice of gaming themes for your equipment.
For mobile operations, the most common themes are Live-Action Gaming (Battlefield ROYALE) and Laser Tag (Battlefield TAG).
Battlefield ROYALE theme is inspired by first-person shooter video games like Fortnite and PUBG. It is aimed at more gamers aged 10 and over. A Domination game with a couple of supply crates is recommended. It is easy to run from an Operator's point of view. And it is intuitive from a player's point of view.
Battlefield TAG is more like traditional science fiction-themed laser tag and is therefore suitable for schools and younger children.
Generally, with mobile operations, especially inflatables, the engagement is close quarters.
For safety, it is best if the gamers who expose themselves to fire are quickly "killed" (or deactivated in Battlefield TAG terminology) so they don’t get too close to the opposition players.
The best way to achieve this is to use a low hit rate. The hit rate is the minimum time between hits, the lower the hit rate, the harder the simulation. The hit rate can be set as low as 1/10 of a second or as high as 2 seconds. For mobile events, we recommend a 0.5-second hit rate.
It is important to manage the players to avoid high-speed collisions. Gamers are not to move the inflatables (or any other objects placed to provide cover). Make sure gamers do not jump over the cover of any type. If running in small areas, enforce a no-running rule. In larger areas, with the inflatables more spread out, enforce a no-running rule near inflatable objects.
Ensure gamers do not run into, jump on, or over any inflatable object.
The game we normally play is "Domination" also known as "Capture & Hold". For instructions on how to run this game, download our free Games Handbook.
Place a Domination Box (aka Game Box) in the center of your inflatable maze. If using supply crates, locate one on the left flank and one on the right, they act as secondary objectives.
The inflatable shapes are spread across the field with a gap of 2 meters (6 feet) between each.
Sometimes you can place the brick inflatables inside the rooms to make the maze even tighter.
You can imagine that these are like "furniture". Don't spread out the inflatables too far apart from one another, even if you have a large field to play on. Better to reduce the size of the field that has gaps of more than 5 meters between each inflatable.
Place the Red Team medic box (base station) out of the direct line of sight from the Blue Team's base.
Gamers get unlimited re-spawns during the game. In this video, the field is set out a bit like a triangle with the objective of the "game box" at the opposite end of the field (also out of sight of the gamers from their starting point).
