Color White Blue

Two players, one box

A tag game that runs on infrared, not screens

Two handheld blasters and a projector base. Nothing to wear, nothing to download, no Wi-Fi and no app.

The set is built around a simple idea: two people, two blasters, and a room or a backyard. Each blaster sends a pulse of invisible infrared light — the same kind of signal a TV remote uses — and the other blaster registers the hit with a sound and a flash. When there is only one player, the projector base throws an animated target onto a flat pale wall to shoot at instead.

What arrives

Everything in the box

Two blastersOne white, one blue, so two people can play straight away

One projector baseCasts a moving target onto a wall for solo rounds

No batteriesTakes eight AA cells, which are not included

There are no vests, chest sensors or harnesses in this set. The blasters read each other directly, so there is nothing to strap on and nothing to size. If you have seen arena photography of players in light-up vests, that is a different kind of equipment — this is the handheld kind.

How a round plays

Pick a mode, pick a team, go

Each blaster switches between four firing modes, each with its own sound and rate of fire, so a round has some texture to it rather than one repeated noise. Team colors let you split a group and keep score of who tagged whom.

Range is a room, a hallway or a backyard rather than a field. It works indoors in daylight and outdoors, and it is at its best somewhere with a bit of furniture to duck behind.

Setting up the projector

One player, one wall

The projector base is for the times nobody else wants to play. Stand it about four to six feet back from a flat, pale wall and roughly two and a half to three feet off the ground, and it will cast a moving target for you to hit.

Those distances come from the maker's own instructions on the box. A white or very light wall gives the clearest image; a patterned or dark one washes it out.

Worth being precise about

It is infrared. It is not a laser.

“Laser tag” is what the whole category is called. It is not what this equipment emits.

These blasters signal each other with an infrared LED — invisible light, no beam you can see, and no projectile of any kind. The maker's own box calls the set an infrared toy gun set, and the identical tooling sold elsewhere is listed with a signal output under one milliwatt.

We are saying this plainly because the pictures in this category routinely show a bright blue beam streaking across the room. That beam is an illustration. Nothing visible comes out of the muzzle, and no photograph on this page shows one.

Before you buy

What we have not been shown

This is a children's product, and under US rules that means it should come with a Children's Product Certificate, testing by an accredited laboratory, and a tracking label. We have not been given any of that paperwork for this set, and we are not going to imply otherwise. We have asked our supplier for it.

What we can tell you is what we checked ourselves. The battery compartments are screw-secured rather than snap-shut. The set uses AA cells, so there are no button or coin cells in it — the type that causes the serious swallowing injuries. The maker grades the set for ages three and up, which is the grade printed on the retail box.

Two older claims have been taken off this page. The age range we previously printed did not match the maker's own grading, and we had described the emitters in terms the equipment does not support. Both are corrected above.
