North Bay Qzar, Rohnert Park

Q-ZAR Laser Tag's battlefield is a 3,800 square-foot arena—a labyrinth of pulsing lights, sirens, and lasers. Music blasts through the speakers and black lights lend the skirting shadows and moving silhouettes a traceable glow, turning white T-shirts into targets and concealing moving bodies as they run and duck through the playfield. It's in this multisensory space-age arena that two teams square off in an intergalactic battle to seize and deactivate the other team's headquarters, all while tagging each other with laser guns and using their best tactical strategies to dodge their opponents' pursuits. After a 5-minute safety briefing, games last 15 minutes, and up to 36 people or shapeshifting aliens masquerading as humans can participate at once.
