Arenas Typically Are Large Dark Rooms
Arenas typically are large dark rooms lit by black lights with many walls or other obstructions to clutter the field. Many are multi-level or themed to look ‘futuristic’ or like an ‘urban jungle’ or other design. Laser Tag also exists in an outdoor incarnation played on fields similar to paintball.
Individual Laser Tag systems often develop active tournament scenes. Laser Quest, with corporately-owned sites across North America, have operated the North American Challenge since 1995 and many local tournaments throughout the year. LaserForce has also maintained an international tournament scene for many years. LaserTron has also supported a tournament program for the past three years.
Laser Storm may have the most successful tournament scene, as they have regularly held ongoing regional tournaments in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, Kansas, California, Wisconsin, and New York for the past decade.
The “Laser Storm National Championship” has also been played for over a decade, with the best teams from those regions traveling to one chosen host site every summer for a week long tournament to crown the yearly National Champions, and the best player in the country.
