Laser Tag Overview:
Laser tag dates back to the 1970s when the first laser tag gun was invented as a toy for kids using infrared beams to disable an opponent’s gun. The idea grew rapidly and became a well-known game. Laser tag is played indoors in supervised arenas using equipment with infrared light instead of actual lasers, so it is safe and won’t damage eyes.
