Laser Tag is a playable game the Plaza. It is located in the main plaza square.
Gameplay
In Laser Tag, players are split into two teams: Team Solar (yellow sun) and Team Flame (red fire). Odd numbered players in the queue will be placed into Team Flame, while even numbered players on the queue will be placed into Team Solar. Each team tries to tag the members of the enemy team with laser pistols until they run out of lives.
Laser Tag has 3 rounds that are 3 minutes each. A round ends when all members of one team are eliminated or if time runs out. If the round timer reaches 0 seconds, the team with the most total lives wins. If both teams have the same amount of lives, the round results in a draw.
Each player starts with 3 lives. A player can take up to 3 hits before losing a life. When this happens, they have 15 seconds to run to a recharge station on the lower level of the arena. If a player does not reach a recharging station in time, they lose all of their lives. When a player loses all of their lives, they are eliminated from the round.
Game Types
The current game type played in Laser Tag is Team Elimination.
