If you want to get serious about laser tag, TAC-TX is the place to do it. Here, there aren't bulky vests and silly phasers. Instead, players get a battle rifleare, outfitted with lightweight wireless headbands to track hits with holographic sights and realistic recoil. Their tactical missions resemble first-person shooter games more than madcap runs through black-lit mazes.

TAC-TX 's arena has been specially designed to echo an urban battlefield simulation, complete with immersive sound, back alleys, and warehouse-style environs. Teams work together to complete objectives in each scenario—Conquest, King of the Hill, and Search and Destroy—to earn level-ups and perks. The action-packed fun offers the strategic acumen of paintball and airsoft without the mess or pain.
