The present invention provides a gaining device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaining device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaining device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaining device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaining device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.

Systems and methods for operation of a secure unmanned vehicle ecosystem are provided herein. An exemplary system includes an application store comprising application store servers, a user control station, a plurality of private communication towers, and a secure unmanned vehicle. In various embodiments the secure unmanned vehicle communicates with the application store servers, the user control station, and the plurality of private communication towers via a private network. In some embodiments the private network prevents malicious code from being implemented on the secure unmanned vehicle ecosystem.

An interactive laser tag system for entertaining multiple play participants or players comprising: toy laser weapons for each of the players, capable of transmitting and detecting an IR beam of light for use in a game; a wireless module or data communication linked to communicate with software or apps on a mobile display device for instance, a handphone or a mobile computer, loaded with web-based software; a server for the login of the player of the game; and a Global Positioning System (GPS) use for providing locations of the players, of which the GPS data are made available to the players, wherein the web-based software operating on the mobile display device calculates and determines hit by a player being registered, and plays a sound and visual effects of the toy laser weapons on the mobile display device, and generates a Graphical User Interface that displayable on the mobile display device kept with the players so as to enhance the effects of the game. The present invention also relates to a method of using the laser tag system in a tagging game.

An indirect fire simulation system includes a plurality of communication devices where each communication device is associated with a separate player. Each communication device includes a location services device for determining a location of the communication device which is communicated to a game server. The locations of all the communication devices are revealed to all the communication devices. Each communication device includes a directional orientation mechanism used when creating a targeting solution of a simulated indirect fire weapon. A processor is used for determining if a simulated targeting of another player by a simulated indirect fire weapon is a hit or miss based on the location indicia of a shooting communication device and the directional orientation of the shooting communication device. The targeting solution may be determined by aligning an aiming vector over the targeted communication device shown on a display of the shooting communication device.

Methods and systems for versatile and scalable board games include a double dovetail scalable board, crown, bridge, and door game pieces, tilting mechanisms and game play, rolling sphere game play, and a marble kinetic timer.

A trampoline game has a trampoline with a trampoline frame and a trampoline bed. The trampoline bed is connected to the trampoline frame by a plurality of springs. A gun has an infrared emitter emitting an infrared signal. A target has one or more infrared receivers capable of receiving a signal from the infrared emitter of the gun. A second gun also has an infrared emitter emitting an infrared signal, and the target is capable of receiving an infrared signal from the second gun. A bounce sensor can be used for sensing user bounces. The bounce sensor outputs data which could be sent to a microprocessor. Defined game parameters may be stored in memory programmed into a microprocessor that receives data.

An attraction for an adventure park or for entertainment including: a first course; a second course; participants make progress along either of the first and second courses; and participants progressing along the first course can engage in a shooting based activity with participants progressing along the second course.

A gaming system may include: an infrared signal emitter configured to emit an infrared signal, the infrared emitter being configured to emit a predetermined number of emissions per a simulated reloading action, the infrared signal being configurable to be associated with one of at least a first team, a second team, and a neutral team, the infrared signal emitter including a handle to be grasped by a player and a trigger to effect emission of the infrared signal; and an infrared signal receiver configured to receive the infrared signal associated with one of the at least the first team, the second team, and the neutral team. Optionally, the gaming system may include a stationary receiver and emitter for integrated use with game players in a further modification of the methods and uses herein. The stationary receiver and emitter may receive and transmit signals, store a memory of activities, teams, players, and other game-playing benefits.

A target gaming system is provided that includes at least one target having an optical sensor. The target is adapted to move untethered around in a targeting area. At least one weapon is provided that emits an optical signal recognized by the optical sensor. The optical signal contacting the optical sensor constitutes a scoring hit. A game is provided with players are allocated to form teams, each player having an optical sensor weapon and the targeting area is an arena or sporting venue.
