A New Take On A Classic Game: Capture The Flag

The Capture The Flag Mission

Reminiscent of childhood tag games, this Capture the Flag is challenging and fun.

Teams start at opposite ends of the battlefield.

This mission involves a lot of running, but gamers with low mobility can also be a part of the moment by defending their team's base.

The goal of the game is to collect as many E-Flags as possible within the team limit.

The team that collects the most flags wins! This is a high-octane mission that is sure to challenge your gamers!

Here's How To Play Electronic "Capture The Flag"

It is a terrific game for players with a lot of energy! Split the group into two, roughly equal teams. It's Red vs Blue. Unlike the traditional Capture the Flag game, there is not just one material flag. Rather these flags are virtual and there can be more than one virtual flag in play at any one time.

To score 1 point, a gamer must first get to the enemy's Flagbox and shoot it.

Their gaming gun will say "Flag Captured!". So the gamer knows they have acquired one virtual flag. This player then needs to run back to their team's Flag Box and shoot that. Their gaming gun will say "Flag Returned!".

If they manage this incredible feat, they score 1 point for their team.

Adding Supplies

A great way to add to the game is to set out a Supply Crate in the center of the field. Getting supplies can help players defend their base or storm the enemy's flagbox.

Gamers with "med kits" and "bandages" are less likely to die as they rush the enemy's box.

More, those players with weapon upgrades can do more damage - making them more effective defenders. Placing a supply crate will enhance the action in new and exciting ways for your gamers.

Must-Have 4 Laser Tag Business

This afternoon I was in Cleveland to run a laser tag game in a huge basement garage! It was a first public trial for Mystery Boxes. IMHO, it was an absolute blast! I've been using two Mystery boxes, and all 15 players were really happy to upgrade their guns to, say, monstrous machine gun with 200 bullets Awesome feature, absolute MUST-HAVE for laser tag business.
