What Makes Blaster Tag Unique

Compared to paintball and airsoft, Blaster Tag stands out as a fun, casual, and imaginative choice. Let's dive into the colorful world of blasters and explore what makes them unique:

• Cost
• Blaster Tag is cheaper overall. The ammo (darts) can be reused, and compressed air is not required, which means there is no need to refill, re-certify, or replace your tanks.
• Lower cost of entry: Thrifted blasters can cost as little as a couple of bucks, whereas paintball markers start around $80. Sunglasses, prescription glasses, or dollar store safety glasses should suffice for most mid-powered (200-FPS) games.
• Paintball and Airsoft: Higher initial investment due to equipment costs (markers, masks, tanks, etc.). The field costs are much higher due to insurance and the amount of work necessary.
• Accessibility and Play Locations
• Blaster Tag: Can be played anywhere - indoors, outdoors, and even in your living room. Public play areas, college campuses, and public park events are common locations.
• Paintball and Airsoft: Require specific fields or designated areas. Limited to outdoor spaces.
• Imagination and Creativity
• Blaster Tag encourages creativity. Players can modify blasters, create custom game modes, and invent their own rules.
• Paintball and Airsoft: More structured and rule-bound.
