Activate Your Brand: Just Like Splatoon
Splatoon, now in its third iteration, is a colorful third-person shooter game. According to Statista, "the action game sold 3.45 million units in Japan alone in its first three days, the highest domestic sales during a launch weekend of any video game released in Japan," and "As of March 31, 2023, lifetime sales of the title amounted to 10.67 million units."
Splatoon replaces guns and gore with squids and paints. The game pits teams of four against each other doing everything they can to cover the map in paint.
As part of the video game launch, Cencosud shopping malls across Chile transformed a mainstream shopping mall into a Splatoon fest.
"The launch was a huge success," Carlos Araya Mackenney, from Battlefield LIVE Chile, said. "The event was so successful that the Splatoon game from Nintendo sold out across the Cencosud shopping malls in the first two days. The other malls and stores did not have the same success, because the live-action gaming wasn’t there!"
"I was told from Nintendo's headquarters in the USA that this was the best launching for Nintendo worldwide. Santiago had the best in pro-rata sales according to the planning target depending on the number of people and the purchasing power of each country, and, low in operational costs," said Carlos. "[It] was the best start-up of the game in the world."
More than 3,000 people played the live-action game version of Splatoon (aka Laser Tag) as part of the launch. The event was so successful that the Splatoon game from Nintendo sold out across the Cencosud shopping malls in the first two days.
Bring the excitement and fun of laser tag to your operation. These lightweight taggers are perfect for high-turnover events.
With no vest, these taggers can be used by kids of all ages (and adults too!).
Laser Tag has four tried-and-true games for you to run. These are easy to set up and straightforward to run. Every day people all over Australia rent laser taggers for a day of fun! The set-up is easy and the games are fantastic, with a minimal learning curve.
Every player starts the game with 5 Health Points. When they get tagged, they lose a Health Point.
When they've been tagged 5 times, their tagger is "deactivated". This means they cannot tag anyone until they get a reactivation.
To get their tagger reactivated, players must go back to their base. This is where they start the game. Place a Battle Box (set as a Medic Box) at this location. We recommend flying a flag just above this box to make it easy to find.
Once the player gets close to the Medic Box with their deactivated tagger, they will get a reactivation.
LIST OF LASER TAG GAMES
Bullseye is a fun, energetic game with a simple objective. The goal? Tag the central box more than your opposition does!
Setting up the game you'll need three Battles Boxes. Two of them will be set as Medic Boxes, these go at either end of the field.
When working with kids, the game must be very forgiving. Players must always be able to get a reactivation, regardless of their skill level.
The third and final box goes in the middle of the playing area. This is the box the players need to tag. It should be set to a Simple Target.
Once they get up to the box, it's all about blasting it as much as possible!
Of course, the other team will be trying to do the same. This means there will be plenty of tagging going on!
THE BULLSEYE GAME.
Battlefield Sports' hit feedback technology sets it apart from the market!
Players hear when they've tagged an opponent. Here's just some examples:
"Tagged" means the player has tagged an opponent.
"Deactivate" means the player has deactivated an opponent's tagger.
One of the best sound effects in the game is actually, "You're Deactivated, Return to Base"! This plays when a deactivated player attempts to make a tag. Instead of the typical pew-pew noise of their tagger, it will play this phrase.
This is a vital element for game management. When you have dozens of kids on the field, you cannot always help them all. This message helps let the player know they've been tagged out. Then - most importantly - it tells them what to do next!
Battle Boxes are devices used to run Laser Tag efficiently.
One of the primary jobs of a Battle Box is to reactivate the players. Unlike in traditional laser tag, where players must simply wait for their reactivation, with the Battle Boxes, they return to their base instead. This gives the game flow.
Flow is an important building box of a player's internal narrative. Every kid wants to feel like the hero, but if they can't see their success, they will grow frustrated instead.
When the player tags out an opponent, instead of the opponent just standing around waiting, they run back to their base. This is a clear visual cue to the player they've achieved something. Battle Boxes change the game.
Because a staff member isn't required to reactivate players, the laser tag system can be operated with very few staff.
Only one staff member is needed up for to 25 players. And with an assistant, a manager can typically handle up to 80 people at once.
Every Player Plays Every Second
With these games, players aren't sitting out or waiting around. Even when tagged out, they have a task (go back to base). This adds to the thrill. Players are never out for long.
Players not in the game are bored players!
Recommended Options
Setting up different games is quick and efficient. Battle Boxes are typically set up with the Recommended Options menu. When the user switches on the Battle Box, it will display a simple menu with all the presets. For example: Medic Box and Simple Target (used in the Bullseye game above).
The user finds the setting they need and then presses select. The Battle Box then launches with all the settings they need to run the game in a couple of seconds.
Furthermore, if the game never changes, the Battle Box can be set to the exact requirement and "locked".
This means the moment it's switched on, it loads the chosen setting without needing to press any buttons or go through any menus. Since it's "locked" it would need to be "unlocked" via a Full Controller to change the setting.
So you can set & forget!
Switch Box Teams
The staff member running the games should carry a Controller. This has three levels of complexity: Basic, Simple, and Full. On each of these is the option "Switch Box Teams". It's a simple but helpful command.
Using the Bullseye game as an example, there will be a Battle Box set as a Medic Box for the Red Team and another for the Blue Team. Rather than collecting the box and physically switching its location, which is time-consuming, a staff member can simply choose to "Switch Box Teams".
Now, as the players swap ends, so does the team setting on the Battle Box.
The Medic Box set to Red Team will change to Blue Team. And vice versa.
This saves time and lessens the load on staff members.
The Battlefield Sports' system of Laser Tag is portable. It doesn't require a large central computer to be set up, nor access to electricity and the internet.
It can be played Indoor or Outdoor.
This means, that whether you have a mobile operation, or simply want to rework your current location, this is easy to do.

Every player wants to be a hero.
During the game, the flow helps them build their own story. Players come off the field saying "I got you!" or "I got the box!"
At the end of the game, the staff member will have the option of announcing the winning team to ALL players. When the game ends, the Controller will retrieve the relevant scores from the Battle Boxes. In the game "Bullseye" this will be the score on the Simple Target.
The Controller will ask if it should announce the winner, if yes, all the taggers on the field will say "Red Team is Victorious" or "Blue Team is Victorious". That way everyone knows who won at the same time.
When the game is over, keep the players talking and engaging with the activity through the scoreboard.
The Scoreboard gives real-time updates throughout the game on the scores, letting any spectators know how well each team is doing.
When the game is over, players can come back and find the names of their taggers.
The Scoreboard automatically assigns the tagger's "alias" if it doesn't already have one (no configuration necessary). The most helpful player for each team will have their alias appear on the screen. For Bullseye, this is the player that tagged the box the most number of times!
The Cobras are lightweight and come in three styles. For Laser Tag operations, we recommend the Lite or the Striker.
So which one is best for you?
The Cobra Lite is our lightest tagger. This is because it comes with a smaller battery than the Awesome. You can expect approx. 10 hours of charge from the Cobra Lite.
You can run a long festival-style event with this model, with constant gaming for over 10 hours. Or you can run two days worth of shorter events, each running for approx 5 hours.
This tagger has a peep-sight scope. This is the size of a penny or a 5c coin. The peep-sight is fully built into the mold which means it requires less maintenance.
This is ideal for young children ages 5 - 8 as every gram counts. The lighter the tagger, the more fun they have. They also tend not to aim much, which means their scope isn't the biggest concern for their enjoyment.
The Cobra Lite has two sensors, one atop the peep-sight and one on the body, closer to the front. The top one lights up while the tagger is "activated". The light turns off when the taggers are "deactivated".
The Cobra Striker adds a red-dot scope. You can run a long festival-style event with this model, with constant gaming for over 10 hours. Or you can run two days worth of shorter events, each running for approx. 5 hours.
This is roughly the size of a quarter (or $1 coin or £2 coin). It's a super easy scope to use, with a red dot sitting in the center.
They simply place this optical illusion on the sensor they wish to tag, and... "Tagged!", they get the feedback they've been successful.
This tagger is perfect for the slightly older market. If you expect participants between the ages of 8 - 10, this tagger is perfect. At this age, they value the payoff of a larger scope, even if it means a slightly heavier tagger.
