A laser-tag platform, built end to end

A hybrid of esports and real-world laser tag — wireless taggers with real recoil, sensor-laden gear, and live-streamed arenas — engineered from architecture concept to finished hardware.

The challenge

Take a hybrid of esports and real-world laser tag from an idea to hardware people can hold — wireless taggers with real recoil, gear carrying dozens of sensors, and arenas that stream live. Everything had to be cable-free, miniaturised, and reliable enough for competitive play.

What we did

We built the whole thing, across every layer. Architecture and system concept first, then the physical product — mechanical design and 3D-printed enclosures, PCB design, and the electronics inside. On top of that, firmware close to the hardware and the higher-level software that ties players, gear, and arenas into one game.

Outcome Taken from a blank page to a full working prototype, built in-house across every layer. It ran at showcases and events, but never entered production.
