1. One For All, All For One (Team Work)
While this may sound cliche, but to excel in a laser tag game, one should never leave anyone behind. If it is any time to exhibit any camaraderie, it is when you’re on the laser tag field. As much as winning in a laser tag game may be important to showcase your pro-shooting skills, the main purpose of this team building game is to forge friendships and act as a team. You don’t want to be remembered for the wrong reasons of abandoning your teammate when he/she was being attacked.
2. Identifying the Underdog Leaders
If you are already holding a leadership position in your office, perhaps consider stepping down and allow for more new ideas for your team. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying that whoever that comes up with the winning laser tag strategy deserves a promotion. Instead, discussing laser tag strategies is largely about leadership, confidence and presentation skills. Managers can take this opportunity to identify and optimise all those natural talents. Additionally, these insights may be exercised as strengths to help people learn more about themselves and their colleagues, opening the door to better communication, team dynamics, and collaboration.
3. Building Resilience
Any laser tag game will result in a winner and a loser. Therefore, even though your team did not perform up to expectations, it’s okay. It’s all about understanding what went wrong and optimise what can be done better to improve the team performance in the next game. Try identifying who are the weaker players and match them up with the stronger ones. Or the fastest runner could help to collect the guns at the start of the game by collecting 2 guns instead of 1, helping a slower member of the team to get their gun safely. Alternatively, look into what each player is good at! One who might run really slow, might just be the best person to distract and defend your team’s attacker.
If you’re racking your brain for a new interactive and creative approach to strengthen the bond within your employees or reward them for a recent success, laser tag’s your go-to game!
