Quick answers about zombie tag — rules, gear, and player count. For step-by-step setup see how to play zombie tag and our equipment guide.
What is zombie tag?
Zombie tag is a laser tag scenario inspired by zombie apocalypse movies: humans fight with taggers while zombies use special headbands and infection rules. A hit from a zombie can turn a human into an undead player.
How is zombie tag different from regular laser tag?
Classic laser tag pits two equal teams with the same weapons. Zombie tag is asymmetric: zombies don't carry taggers — they use Zombie kits. Infection waves and role switching change the pace. Scenario details for each product line are on the zombie tag scenarios page.
What equipment is best for zombie tag?
Top picks for humans: AK-12 Irbis (Alphatag), AK-12LT Predator (lasertag), and MP9-LT Phoenix (Cybertag). Browse guns from movies and guns from games for inspiration. Full breakdown: zombie tag equipment guide.
How many players do you need?
Minimum 6 players. Typical ratio is 2 humans per 1 zombie. Clubs often run 10–20 players for multiple rounds and role rotation.
Do zombies need special equipment?
Yes. Zombies wear Zombie kits — headbands with hit sensors and IR emitters that infect humans every 2–3 seconds. Humans use standard taggers from the LASERWAR store.
Where to buy zombie tag equipment?
Official manufacturer store: laserwar.com/equipments/game-sets — game sets, Zombie kits, and accessories with worldwide shipping.
What venue works best?
Arenas and mazes with cover are ideal — humans need defensive positions, zombies need attack lanes. See how to play zombie tag for venue setup tips.
Can you play outdoors?
Yes. LASERWAR equipment works on outdoor fields. For open spaces, choose Alphatag and classic lasertag rifles with longer range.
