Tactical Action Games LLC, Provo

Stereotypically, laser-tag games are designed for weekend warriors and adrenaline junkies craving a nonlethal form of combat warfare. All too often, these scenarios fuel aggression and salty sailor talk in both adults and teens. But Command Deck, the latest laser-tag hotspot, has a different target in mind: moms.

Command Deck allows matriarchs to breathe a much-needed sigh of relief by setting aside most of its business hours to Tiny Tag—laser tag designed specifically for the 12-and-under crowd. They even impose age and height restrictions so that every match is a fair fight. Thoroughly vetted and charismatic referees watch over each campaign, and a live video feed enables parents to watch their little infrared warriors from afar. For those who want to take the action outside, Command Deck also offers mobile laser-tag services that add excitement to any backyard barbecue or job interview.
