It may seem strange but playing Lazer Tag or Laser Quest can actually help in corporate team building efforts. In fact, many experts in human resources training recommend Laser Tag or Laser Quest as a corporate team building activity.
Lazer Tag or Laser Quest is a high tech game using hand held devices that emit infrared beams. Players also wear infrared-sensitive targets. The goal of each player is to defend himself from being tagged while trying to tag other players. Players may also play by teams. Lazer Tag or Laser Quest games can involved various scenarios like military combat-type simulations and other role-playing configurations. It can be safely played by all ages and does not involve physical projectiles like paintball does. Tactical skills, dexterity, mind and body coordination and speed are required instead of physical strength and force.
Xtreme Adventures Family Fun Center offers Lazer Tag in a two level tag arena measuring 6000 sq. ft. This state of the art Laser Tag arena is the first of its kind in the vicinity of Tampa Bay. It features ancient chambers and passageways as well as deep jungle through which players need to strategize in order to maximize score points against the enemy while successfully defending themselves and their team.
Aside from Lazer Tag, Xtreme Adventures Family Fun Center also offers Lazer Frenzy. This game can be played by individuals as well as teams. There is a Lazer Maze crisscrossed with multi-colored laser beams through which a player has to navigate without breaking a beam and triggering the alarm buzzer. Each alarm takes away points from the player. Speed is also required because the fastest player to reach the end of the maze with the least laser beam hits is the winner. The exciting music and the haze floating through the Lazer Maze add to the excitement of the game. Lazer Frenzy can also be a good game for corporate team building when played by teams.
