“We opened our fun center about 7 years ago and knew that we wanted to add a laser tag system. At that time, there were many companies selling laser tag games and it was very confusing on which system to pick. [The LaZer Runner system] seemed simple, compact, well constructed and economically priced. We are now entering our 8th year and con-tinue to be extremely satisfied with LaZer Runner Laser Tag Systems. We have found that many laser tag companies are now out of business. This would have been disastrous for us….”

founder’s message


There have been more LaZer Runner Laser Tag Systems installed than all others combined . . . Over 500 installations and growing!

Many years ago, my company purchased several laser tag systems from another manufacturer. We then proceeded to set them up in various sites around North America. What a disaster! The equipment was absolutely terrible! Most of it was not durable and virtually disintegrated after heavy use. It was difficult to repair, and the “down-time” was costing us big money in lost revenue. After a few busy months, the equipment was not usable anymore and could no longer be repaired - game over. In retrospect this was a blessing in disguise. It made us aware of several facts. Firstly, we realized there was a lot of money to be made in the laser tag business. Even though the equipment we purchased as operators was junk at best, people still liked the game very much. We are laser tag operators as well as manufacturers. Most importantly, this experience gave us a good lesson from the operator’s perspective. We realized what it was like to be an operator of equipment rather than a retailer or manufacturer. Our experience with the hands-on operation helped us gain knowledge - practical knowledge about what was needed to make a laser tag operation successful day to day. On that basis, we developed a new type of laser tag game - LAZER RUNNER! Technology has come a long way. We developed our own equipment and have opened sites throughout the world that we operate ourselves. Our company recruited the brain trust of four of the very

best, most knowledgeable engineers in the industry to design our system. No expense was spared in obtaining the services of these experts. Our prototype system endured over 14 months of testing before ever being offered to anyone in another working environment. We put our equipment through more than 126,000 games, and it performed brilliantly with an absolute minimum of downtime! You can count on this equipment to capture people’s attention, get them playing and get them coming back! As operators, that’s exactly what we wanted and that’s exactly what you want too! With hundreds of thousands of dollars of research and quality control backing you up, you’ll have equipment working for you that is as reliable as a laser tag system gets. Our equipment is designed to be user friendly, expandable, durable, trouble-free and above all - profitable. We developed a better product. That is why I think LAZER RUNNER is better than all other equipment available today. We developed it from an OPERATOR’S perspective! We’re operators of equipment just like you are. We’re out there in the trenches just like you are, slugging it out and operating the equipment on a DAILY basis. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS POINT IS! We’re our own best customer. We have to live with our own equipment just like you will if you purchase it. We can relate with equipment operators - we are one. That’s why we’re the fastest growing laser tag game on the planet. We offer a no-nonsense, durable, reliable, reasonably priced system that works. Period.

The success of LAZER RUNNER has surpassed even our most optimistic projections!There are a multitude of rides and attractions available in the marketplace today. Few of them are able to create the adrenaline-pumping excitement and breathtaking action of LAZER RUNNER. Almost none can achieve the profitability! Relative to the small investment required, LAZER RUNNER is a runaway success! Even in the most modest location, LAZER RUNNER is almost guaranteed to pay for itself well inside of a year. Some operators recoup their original investment in a matter of a few good months. If you need to increase your capacity, you can simply add more Battle Phasers and Vests, or increase your arena size. Our systems are totally modular. Put the LAZER RUNNER system to work in your venue - and watch the crowds gather. Keep in mind that LAZER RUNNER is not a franchise. The money you make is yours to keep, and you’ll still get all the technical support, marketing materials, and ongoing ideas that our management team has to offer.

Other laser tag equipment just doesn’t stand up!

laser tag equipment - a primer It is important to be aware of the many different styles of equipment offered by various laser tag manufacturers, and to understand the differences, both functionally and visually. Laser tag equipment has two basic purposes: Transmit Information ~ Receive Infor mation. Transmitting and Receiving Information is accomplished electronically by Radio Frequency (RF), Infrared (IR), Laser, Fiber Optics or a combination of two or three of these methods. LAZER RUNNER uses a combination of Radio Frequency, Laser and Fiber Optic Technology in the transmission and receiving of information.

Radio Frequency (RF) LAZER RUNNER has developed a RADIO FREQUENCY system that is like no other. Most RF systems are suscep-tible to interference causing game delays and poor communication. LAZER RUNNER is the only RF system that allows the operator to change channels automatically if interference is detected, allowing smooth trouble free laser tag play with no interruptions. With the latest in micro technology, LAZER RUNNER uses a surface mount RF circuit board and internal antennae for transmission of critical data. This compact design is lightweight and eliminates the bulky circuitry and external antennas other RF laser tag manufacturers use. This makes the equipment much more durable. Our engineers have studied past RF systems and their faults to develop a state-of-the-art RF laser tag system that is reliable, easily programmable, and provides players with necessary key statistics and Real Time Scoring. You can even place TV monitors in the lobby or playing arena showing players’ scores and rankings in Real Time! The hassle of using a keyboard for all day to day operations has been eliminated and replaced with an easy to use Touch Screen Monitor with simple step-by-step instructions. The hardwiring of the arena peripherals has also been eliminated, reducing the time for set-up. The LAZER RUNNER RF system is ready to go right out of the box. All software is loaded right at the factory. EASY TO USE – EASY TO MAINTAIN!

Infrared (IR) Infrared systems make up approximately 80 percent of all laser tag equipment, and can range from extremely poor to fair quality. The potential problems with IR technology are numerous. With infrared systems there is, in essence, two beams that are utilized ~ a laser beam and an ‘invisible’ infrared beam. The laser beam in infrared systems does not transmit data and is used for visual purposes only! The infrared beam (similar to what is used on your TV remote), that does transmit data, is collimated to try to travel alongside the laser beam. Unfor tunately this design has several flaws: (a) Infrared cannot be focussed to pinpoint accuracy thereby creating beams that vary from a few inches to several feet in diameter. What you aim at with your laser is not always what you hit with your IR beam and (b) these beams can become un aligned causing even greater error in targeting accuracy and operation of the system. These beams need to be regularly maintained and realigned. (c) targeting range is limited; (d) the pos-sibility of stray signals is very high (players deactivated by IR that has bounced off walls or ceilings) and (e) game turnaround time is slow due to the time consuming downloading process required at the end of each game.


“In the past, laser tag was looked at as a hassle to maintain, with questionable function and ser-vice for our guests. Since we switched to LaZer Runner two years ago, my outlook [of] laser tag has skyrocketed. Where as in the past we had to deal with systems that were hard to maintain, offered limited game play options, and weren’t as accurate during the game, LaZer Runner has solved many of those problems.”

Graham Nardone, Adventure Landing


Laser Transmission LAZER RUNNER is the only laser tag system in the world that uses the actual laser beam for transmission of data. This is achieved through a low power (less than one milliwatt) laser diode. The benefit of this system is pinpoint accuracy. What you aim at is what you hit! Best of all, the range of targeting is fantastic - with well over 500 foot capabilities! Serious laser tag players, of all ages, demand this range and accuracy. The proof is in the repeat customers and in the profits. This technology makes LAZER RUNNER the most challenging of all the laser tag systems. There are no false hits or misaligned beams often experienced with other laser tag systems. LAZER RUNNER keeps the

players coming back for more!

LAZER RUNNER is a true laser tag system.

Targets (Receivers) Targets on laser tag equipment can be found mounted on vests,

waist belts and phasers. The targets are usually lit by flashing or glowing LED’s. Once targeted and deactivated,

some equipment must be re-energized at a pod or a reactivation station. Following months of research and data

manipulation, we developed ad van ced fiber optic sensors to harness laser light. These optics were the first of their kind ever to

be offered to the public through laser tag technology. By incorporating fiber optics,

LAZER RUNNER has eliminated the need for extra circuitry. As a result we have

reduced the weight and increased the ergonomic appeal of our vests. Other laser systems require

bulky receiver circuitry for each and every target area ~ front, back, shoulders, belts and phasers. These



target areas are usually raised and covered by clear plastic for protection. Unfortunately these ‘raised’ areas are highly prone to wear and damage resulting in poor reception of signals, inaccurate scoring and down time. LAZER RUNNER has just one receiver board that does it all. LAZER RUNNER fiber optic targets are mounted flush with the vest. This greatly eliminates costly maintenance. Our vests are noticeably clean and streamlined, allow pinpoint targeting accuracy, and are visually stunning. The LAZER RUNNER fiber optic sensors can be programmed to be one of six colors. This means every single LAZER RUNNER vest is exactly the same. You choose the colors, you choose the teams. You are no longer limited to the number of red vests and green vests, but can program blue, red, green, purple, orange and yellow teams in any number of players you desire. Above all, the fiber optic vests take punishment. High tech, lightweight and critically durable. Malfun ction ing vests translate to down time and lost revenue. Our equipment takes a beating and keeps on going! Why settle for second best? LAZER RUNNER fiber optic technology will give you a system that delivers endurance and profit.

Phaser (Laser Housing) These hand-held units vary from two-handed machine gun styles, to hand-held phasers. Phasers are usually attached by a cord to their vest. These units can provide the player with sound effects, time remaining, player’s score and other statistics. LAZER RUNNER Phasers provide the players with all these features and more. LAZER RUNNER uses hand held phasers. Hand held phasers are lighter in weight and more user friendly to customers of all ages than two handed units. Phasers also allow the customer to have one hand free to keep their balance when moving throughout the arena. All LAZER RUNNER components were designed to incorporate the best features available in the industry.

Every piece of LAZER RUNNER equipment was built to be the best in the business . . . at a reasonable price! The LAZER RUNNER System does it all.

Breakthrough in Technology LAZER RUNNER is state-of-the-art equipment. Breakthroughs in technology have allowed us to offer everything that you would expect to find in the most sophisticated laser games, but at a fraction of the price. From individual and team scoring to sentry pods and home bases that fire back. From tamperproof accounting, to our patented “quick-charge” system. From auto-select modules that run the game, to durable solid state lasers. We provide it all from our factory direct to you! And at a price you won’t believe!


New Li-Ion Phaser Charging Module Based on patented IC Intelligent Battery Charger Chip and a lithium ion battery pack, operators can fully charge their equipment in less than three hours.

This charge is good for more than 18 hours of continuous play. The Li-ion battery pack has distinct advantages over the NiMH including 20% more capacity with no memory effect. All charging circuitry is located inside the charging module with colored, diagnostic LED’s to indicate the charge status of each vest.

“The system has been very dependable and the variety of game options to choose from is a great feature that gives the players different ways to play the game.”

Michael DeRyder, Lazer Land, MI

New LAZER RUNNER Central Processing Unit (LRCPU) The LAZER RUNNER Central Processing Unit programs and accounts for every game played in an unlimited number of game scenarios. Team, Individual and Group play are easily programmed at the customers request with the use of a touch screen monitor. The LRCPU allows you to program the standard games included with the system, by modifying the time, the number of shots, the number of lives, vest color, player handicapping and code names. Themed games can also be created by the operator. This increases players’ interest and initiates theme game nights. The possibilities are endless! Most importantly, the LRCPU is easy to understand, efficient to operate, and is totally tamperproof.

Home Base II Our 7 foot high Home Bases are spectacular and modular. Strobes, sirens, light effects and more. But watch out! These bases come to life and shoot back, setting the pace for an intense laser tag experience. It’s just another feature that keeps guests coming back.

Sentry Pods Programmable Sentry Pods guard against approach-ing enemies by detecting their presence. Given a 3 second warning count to evacuate, the player must shoot the Sentry Pod to deactivate it, or be fired upon by a cluster of low frequency bursts.



Scorecards Brilliant, easy to read ‘Mission Analysis’ scorecards display player statistics amongst other relevant data.

Fiber-Optics Advanced fiber-optic Battle Vests are spectacular, durable, functional and visually stunning, (they glow in the dark). The fiber-optic sensors are mounted flush to the vest eliminating the need for bulky, protruding, high maintenance receivers that are the norm in the industry. Our vests are virtually maintenance free!

Real Time Scoring System - Team Score Monitors Instant individual scoring systems are built into every phaser through REAL TIME RF transmission. Team scores are also instantly updated and displayed by monitors that can be positioned throughout the maze. The best of both worlds!

Vibrating Hit Sensors These are built into each and every Battle Vest. They let you “feel” the exhilarating action throughout the game.

Score Printer System Our unique score printer system lets you continue operating LAZER RUNNER for your regular guests while you also use it for birthday party groups. All at the same time! A feature that is unique to LAZER RUNNER.

Microswitch Triggers This traditionally “high-service” component has been redesigned with technologically superior elec-tronic microswitches. At 5,000,000 pulls, this trigger is just nicely broken in. This ensures no down time and accurate response.

Hytrell Retractable Cords The connecting cord between the phaser and the vest is a point of high stress in any laser game. We developed a connecting cord that is almost indestruc-tible, the best and most durable in the business. This ensures that your equipment is always working.

ready to play With virtually unlimited game scenarios available at your finger tips, the LAZER RUNNER Battle Station can quickly change from a band of trigger happy renegades battling each other (Individual Play), to a bunch of friends together having a showdown to see who’s the best (Group Play), or two to four squads of compatriots strategically planning their attack on the opposing team(s) Home Base (Team Play). You can have several of the above occurring at the same time - a unique feature offered only by LAZER RUNNER! By eliminating the need to recharge or re-energize your equipment during the game (that can take away from the thrill and excitement of the moment), the LAZER RUNNER Battle Vest is simply deacti-vated for 5 seconds when hit. The Battle Vest re-energizes on it’s own so you’re right back in the action trying to improve your score. There is no need for players to run to an inconvenient recharge station.

The Battle Station fights back! The Battle Station was created to give the players a unique, interactive adventure. The Battle Station not only excites and challenges the players to compete against each other, but they must always be on guard for the Sentry Pods in the arena. The pods deactivate any player within the sector unless the player is quick enough to temporarily disarm it. When the players are inside, they frequently cross the boundaries of fantasy and reality. Their senses are continuously being bombarded by an assortment of strobes, beacons, fog, sound, sentry pods and laser fire.

Continuous Play!New players can join an existing game already in progress, making the game continuously evolve, and more fun to play. This feature allows you to maximize your capacity in peak times through quick turnover, and slow times by allowing as few as two players to participate. There is no need to wait for large groups. Better yet, a birthday party group can play their own game while your regular guests are already engaged in battle. This “game-within-a-game” feature is a tremendous way to increase your revenue and is unique to LAZER RUNNER! Every game inside the Battle Station is guaranteed to be new and different. As an operator, like yourself, we wanted a game that would keep players coming back again and again. LAZER RUNNER delivers the goods!


We purchased a LaZer Runner system in the summer of 1996. One of the features of the LaZer Runner that I like the most is the ability to have continuous play without having to recharge your gun each time you are deactivated. The black lights, rotating red lights and swirling fog along with the heart pounding music and sound effects make for quite an exciting and unforgettable experience.”

Tina & Steve Craine, Family Fun Park, AR

The LAZER RUNNER Battle Station - Unlike anything you’ve played before! Blacklight graphics explode from every corner. Interactive Sentry Pods radiate deactivating beams at anyone in range.

This game fights back! Pulsating strobes pierce the eerie fog. Robotic lights scan the perimeter of the Battle Station’s hull. The background music thumps out a galactic heart-beat. A wary tension envelopes the Battle Station. Your aiming beam slices through the fog like a laser light sword searching for your elusive opponents.

There! Your aiming tracer settles on the glowing fiber optic sensor - your opponent turns away in panic! You move towards him. He ducks behind a grid panel. Your aim-ing beam follows, searching for the sensor. Your finger twitches nervously on the trigger. Not yet, not yet . . .

“Your game is on the cutting edge of technology. It is fun and competitive and appeals to all ages and gender.”

Brigadier General John Meyer, Jr.U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center

I personally tested every laser tag system on the market. It was my opinion that LaZer Runner was the most durable and user friendly system available. I wasn’t disappointed. LaZer Runner has developed a high quality product requir-ing minimal service Player appeal of the LaZer Runner equipment is reflected in revenues that are more than double our original plan. Most important and most impressive is their product support. Their courteous technical staff is able to resolve most equipment problems (which are very rare) over the phone.

Bob WebsterKnott’s Berry Farm, CA

LaZer Runner has from day one been our biggest surprise and the activity delivering the most gratification and revenue! From the smallest of children to adults in their later years, everyone exits the arena with huge smiles and exclamations of how much fun that was. The system is also very user friendly, for both staff and all participants.

David FullPlanet X, IA

We have other laser systems but the LaZer Runner blows them away every time! [The customers] love all the features you provide… and we love the profits!

J. Price-WilliamsAirbounce Amusements, PQ

We had previously had another brand of system that was only six years old, but we had problems with it almost since it was installed. We were reluctant to put in another laser tag system… We have now been using the [LaZer Runner] system for three months, and have been very satisfied. Our sales of laser tag tickets have increased, and our customer satisfaction is much improved.

Lois PowersPutt Putt Golf & Games, TX

We took delivery of a 40 suit LaZer Runner system in early May 2003 and have been extremely pleased…. The system works flawlessly…. We replaced another system that was prone to breakdowns at awkward times, usually on Saturdays when our facility was full. We enjoy dealing with your company and its personnel and look forward to a long and prosperous rela-tionship. You are one of the remarkable few that actually delivered what you promised. Well Done.

testimonials: a sample

When we first got into the business we started out with another Laser Tag Company. This was a huge mistake. We had nothing but problems. The moment we installed the LaZer Runner system we saw our sales and profits increase.

Gary SchmaltzGateway Rec Centre

We are now entering our 8th year and continue to be extremely satisfied with LaZer Runner. In fact, we not only upgraded our original arena but also purchased another complete system for another fun center. Our 2 systems continue to work well and hold up well even though there is continuous wear and tear on the vests and the arenas.

Bud Umbach & Hal ShillingKokomo’s Family Fun Center, MI

There used to be five laser tag arenas in South Dakota. Now there is only one… LaZer Runner Laser Tag at Gigglebees. The other guys lost sales because their system was always, I mean always, breaking down. It seemed like you only had a 50/50 chance of getting to play. Not so with LaZer Runner. We have been up and running for over 5 years and not once has our game been out of commission. We have never missed a sale.

Nyla TornowGigglebees, SD

In the six years that we have been open, we have virtually seen all the other competition close while we remain open. (Our competition didn’t use LaZer Runner.)

John LipariLaser Family Fun Center, CA

… we had mistakenly double booked [an event]. Our backup LaZer Runner equipment had not been operated in almost a year and we had no time to go through or test the equipment. To our delight after a few minutes on the charger all of the vests were fully charged and working perfectly. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you guys for making such a reliable and durable product.

Jeff BrownCountry Club Entertainment, AR

If your company is trying to decide between revenue sharing or purchas-ing, there is no need to think any further. LaZer Runner’s price and products have exceeded even our own expectations.
