Is the equipment eye safe?
Despite the name “laser skirmish” there are actually no lasers used. The use of the word 'laser' is simply a marketing term. Instead of shining visible light, the units emit invisible, harmless infrared light, just like the infrared used in many TV remote controls. Infrared laser diodes and light-emitting diodes (also known as LEDs or IREDs) are widely used in displays and in TV remote control systems, and in toys. These LEDs are basically small light bulbs or flashlights.
What is the minimum age for playing Laser Skirmish?
The recommended minimum playing age is 12 years. Younger children can play if accompanied by an adult and remain supervised at all times.
