Sessions
Sessions are the block of time you book at Virtual Sports. All sessions are booked as 1 hour time blocks and will include time for your briefing which outlines the rules and mission objectives for the sessions, gear up, and field time. A standard weekday or weekend session will include 30 minutes of field time with 4 missions.
Missions
Missions are the different games you will be playing during your session at Virtual Sports. There are a number of different missions that will be explained to you during your briefing. Missions can be something as simple as who gets the most eliminations to something more strategy based such as capturing flags and territories or defending zones.
Equipment
The markers used at Virtual Sports are not your standard plastic blasters. Originally designed for military and police training exercises, this equipment really makes you feel like you are in the game.
Popular Missions
team deathmatch
You’ve got one goal, eliminate as many players on the other team before they eliminate you. With unlimited respawns you can storm the base or camp in corner.
Domination
Capture and defend is the name of the game in Domination. With three or more “Dom Tubes” dispersed throughout the field, your objective is to shoot into the tube “capturing” it for your team. The tube will turn the color of your team and give you and your team points for every second you have it. Each tube you have will aggregate points individually.
recon
Capture the flag digitized. Each team will have a tube in the base and there will be a neutral tube in the middle. Shoot the tube in the middle and score a point when you shoot the tube in your base, effectively “capturing” the flag.
KING OF THE HILL
This mission is very similar to Domination but there will only be one active tube in a neutral zone in the middle of the field.

Our schedule can change daily and we may have a private booking or closed for an event that would prohibit your ability to get in the scheduled session. Registering online ensures that you will get to play when you arrive.
How old do I need to be to play?
We recommend a minimum age of 8 years old or the participant must be at least 40 inches tall. This is for the safety of the players and the equipment. Children under 8 may be required to have an adult accompany them onto the field. Children who do not meet our recommendations or requirements may still play on a case by case basis.
What should I wear?
We recommend athletic clothing and shoes. The average person puts on 3 miles per 30 minutes of field time so you will be moving around quite a bit.
Is laser tag dangerous?
The equipment at Virtual Sports is the safest combat simulation equipment available because there are absolutely no projectiles. Unlike airsoft guns, paintball markers, or even nerf guns, there is never anything flying through the air that could injure you making it a much safer activity. Additionally our laser markers have been decertified as weapons by the ATF and in no way can they be loaded or modified to shoot a projectile. Our fields however do have tight corners and narrow hallways that can create close proximity game play. We ask our participants to keep their laser markers low while not firing and enforce a strict no running rule to minimize any potential collisions that could result from the close proximity play. With any recreational sport, there is always risk of injury. Please review our waiver to understand the risks associated with Virtual Sports.
Do you have group discounts?
We have discount pricing available at at the field rental rate (up to 20 people). If you have a group of 10 or more you are welcome to book through our party planners who can help you find appropriate time slots and packages. Please visit our groups and parties page for more information
What is your cancellation policy?
No refunds or rescheduling of pre-purchased tickets.
Cancellation of a party or group reservation must be made with at least 7 days notice from the date of your event in order to receive a refund for the deposit placed at the time it was reserved. Cancellations within 7 days will not receive a refund on the deposit. Deposits on parties or groups that are booked within 7 days of the event date are automatically nonrefundable. Event dates or times may be changed up to 24 hours in advance without penalty. Guest counts or event detail changes must be updated with a minimum of 24 hours notice from the event. If no notification about changes to the party size or event type are received with 24 hours minimum notice from your event, your party will be responsible for the total charges on the preexisting reservation.
Can I come and just watch my kids?
Given the nature of the game play and the special effects it takes to create the experience our views to the field are restricted. We have a number of cameras located on the field with TV monitors to broadcast the action. We also have a glass viewing area that shows the middle of the field.
