If you’ve ever wondered how outdoor laser tag works, or what makes it such an unforgettable family adventure, this guide will tell you everything you need to know.
At Rumble Live Action Gaming, we bring gaming to life with award winning outdoor laser tag at Grafham Water and Rutland Water. 

What Is Outdoor Laser Tag?

Outdoor laser tag is an energetic, strategy-based game where players use infrared laser guns to tag opponents across large outdoor arenas. It is completely safe, clean, and paint-free. Yes, we mean no mess, no pain and no projectiles!

At Rumble Live Action Gaming, each player wears a high-tech sensor headband that detects hits. The laser battle rifles are equipped with advanced infrared technology that allows for long-range accuracy, immersive sound effects and instant feedback. When you tag another player, your lasergun registers the hit automatically, making it feel way more ‘real life’ than a laggy video game.

Rumble Live Action Gaming uses professional-grade kit to make every mission feel authentic and action-packed. If you’ve been to lasertag before, we promise it’s nothing compared to a Rumble mission in an outdoor woodland arena. Don’t believe us? Check out our reviews.

The Real-World Arenas of Grafham and Rutland Water

Forget the flashing lights and claustrophobia of indoor arenas, outdoor laser tag at Rumble takes place in the breathtaking surroundings of Grafham and Rutland Water. The view from both venues is breathtaking. Each venue features natural covers, barricades and towers, giving players the freedom to move, hide and strategise in open terrain.

Playing outdoors adds a level of realism you simply cannot find indoors (and it doesn’t smell like sweaty teens either!).

Every Game Is a Mission

Laser tag at Rumble is not just about shooting the opposite team, every mini-game is structured around a different mission objective. Your team may need to dominate a tower, protect a VIP, or survive an onslaught by an unknown enemy. We promise you won’t get bored, running around the same maze, with the same gun. Search for hidden utility boxes to unlock upgrades, extra ammo, medical packs and more. Achieving consecutive hits allows players to build killstreaks unlocking special weapon upgrades.

These missions encourage teamwork, communication and strategy, making every battle feel like stepping into a real-life video game. Players quickly learn to coordinate tactics and adapt on the move, just like in the best co-op video games, but played outdoors.
