LASER TAG
For our laser tag matches, we will be using the RECOIL game system. It's a discontinued product, it still works well, and you can find the blasters on eBay.
We will have a good supply of these to lend out to players (including the Spitfire, Rogue, and even the Frag Grenades) but you are also welcome to bring your own Recoil-compatible blasters.
The great thing about the system is that it uses integrated smart phones for a more advanced experience. (You will need to use your own smartphone while playing.)
At the event, report to the on-site office of our private galactic security forces The Sentinels (you'll see more about them soon) for training, to check in and out your Recoil weapons, and to see game schedules.

REALITY’S EDGE ran games running every 15 minutes. They set up cool tabletop terrain (kindly provided by Black Site Terrain), highly detailed miniatures, and taught the rules of the game.
