How to Play

Taken from the Briefing Room, Quasar Tallaght.

  • Quasar is a 2 team laser game played indoors (red & green teams, red & blue teams in Quasar Elite)
  • The object of the game is to shoot as many of the other team as possible and their headquarters.
  • Every player receives a pack & gun.
  • On the back of every gun is an I.D. number. The colour & number of the gun must be remembered for you to get your scoresheet at the end of the game.
  • Your gun must be loaded at the start of the game when you enter the Arena. The place where you load your gun is called the Energiser.
  • When you load your gun it will take 3 seconds before it will fire a laser beam. During these 3 seconds your gun will say ' DEFENCE SHIELD ACTIVE,ACTIVE'. When you hear this, it means that no-one can kill you (you have a shield). As soon as you hear this, move away from the Energiser or your gun will not work.
  • Your gun will not fire while it is talking!!
  • When you are shot, the gun will say ' DEFENCE SHIELD ACTIVE, ACTIVE, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING. When your gun says 'WARNING' you can be shot again.
  • When you lose all of your lives there will be flashing numbers on the back of the gun (Time Left), and the gun will be saying 'RETURN TO ENERGISER'. Just go back to your Energiser and reload your gun.
  • When the game is over, the gun will say 'GAME OVER, RETURN TO ENERGISER', you must energise your gun until your I.D. number comes back, before leaving the Arena.
  • To hang up your pack and gun, first place the gun in the holder, then unclip the sides of the pack and hang it up on the rack.
