BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID;X-RICAL-TZSOURCE=TZINFO:-//com.denhaven2/NONSGML ri_cal gem//EN CALSCALE:GREGORIAN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:TagParty RECON is an outdoor laser tag adventure\, played on 4 plus acres of woodland. A hybrid\, incorporating the best aspects of paintball\, video games and traditional laser tag. It is challenging\, exhilarating and a lot of fun\, without the pain associated with paint ball. Find us at the North West corner of the Historic Savage Mill&rsqu o\;s West parking lot.\nThe new TagParty RECON field incorporates many o f the game play aspects associated with modern first person shooter vid eo games like &ldquo\;Halo&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;Call of Duty&rdquo\;\, &ld quo\;Day of Defeat&rdquo\; etc. There are multiple mission objectives a nd a variety of strategies that teams can implement to successfully ach ieve their goals. Players have to stealthily find their way through the trees and brush\, and capture numerous Flags without being eliminated. The natural cover is augmented with barriers (bunkers) and eliminated players can be respawned back into the game from recharge stations wher e they can also pick up ammo and health points.\nGroups of players form teams\, or tag parties\, with each trying to collect as many Flags as possible while losing as few lives a possible. The captured Flags are e lectronically registered on the players Tagger\, along with a record of how many times the player was eliminated and who tagged them. The Tagg ers have a range of 700 feet in bright sunlight and are equipped with a scope and head sensors. Each Tagger has a unique identification name s o that players can tell who hit them and how often .The scoring is done electronically\, there is no &ldquo\;wiping&rdquo\; of paint\, thus el iminating cheating associated with paintball.
