The Q-Zar™ Laser Tag software has many built in options that can be used in combination with the main game types above to create many different types of games.


Sets the way teams are sorted. In a game of Solo, there are no teams. Players may tag players of any color, they may re-energize at any colored energizer.


In spies, the computer chooses a random 2-minute interval for each player for them to be "spy." When a player is a Spy, they may tag any player (their team or not) for points. Spies may also be tagged by their own team. Players will know when they are spy because the pack will make a higher pitched sound when firing and the display will have four "U"s on it.

* Spies and Solo are mutually exclusive. These option's default setting are off.


This option turns off the reflex shot. This option's default setting is off.


This option turns off the 6 second penalty. This option's default setting is off.


This allows players to hold down the trigger for three seconds to fire a bomb. Bombs will hit any players nearby. This option's default setting is off.


This option sets how many shots can be fired in one second. The option's default setting is one shot per second.


This option is a set of alternative sounds for QZAR Laser Tag.

The following tips and tricks are common knowledge to advanced players of the game.

	...(AKA Twixing) takes two lives off of an opponent in one tag cycle. Doubling requires precise timing by one or two people, and requires the second tag to be fired at the moment the reflex shot is fired.
	...is one of the most used team techniques. If a teammate is in his or her "Warning" phase, tagging the teammate will immediately clear that player's pack to normal. This however, costs points. It is sometimes called 'Donging' or in the UK and Ireland it is called 'Bonging' because of the sound the packs make when they are tagged by teammates. In addition, when tagged by your own team, your pack gives 1/5 second of protection from being tagged allowing a teammate to prevent the other team tagging you.
	...exploits the fact that Energize Laser Tag packs use the same wire to transmit and receive information. This results in incoming shots being ignored when the visual effect laser is turned on. This means that they can not fire and be hit at the same time. If a player pulls the trigger at the same time they are tagged, even if the player does not tag anyone, the pack does not detect the incoming signal.
	...exploits the fact that shots are infrared signals. This means that they will reflect off of shiny surfaces, including, but not limited to: skin, bright walls and the packs themselves. Players can use this trick to fire shots around walls. Generally, "Setting" or "Mirroring" is used to mean a teammate standing in a strategic position to reflect the shot while "bouncing" is used to mean reflecting a shot off the arena.
	Holding the trigger in for a number of seconds makes the gun say, "Time Left" and the display shows the amount of time left in the game. Doing this while Bombs are enabled will fire a bomb first then display the remaining time.
	...is when a player inserts a charging pin or other object into the charging socket on the bottom of the gun in order to reset the pack. Because your pack only records players that have tagged the you, resetting the pack erases this information to make it appear that you have never been tagged, whilst other players packs still retain information about when you have tagged them. This is very easy to detect by other players due to this also resetting the shot counter and it will appear that the player has hit people while firing few or no shots. This is a bannable offense at most Energize Laser Tag centers.
	...is when a player strategically holds the phaser or positions their body to make themselves harder to tag. This is not allowed in some centers, and is mostly used by expert players in Tournaments. The common types of covers are named Porkchop, 2G, Crab, Lean Back and Rifle (aka High Block).
	...is the act of "clipping" the back sensor onto a corner of a wall making it un-shootable from a forward standpoint. If combined with a block can prove a very effective defense position.
