Squad Hero Rechargeable Laser Tag 360° Sensors + LCDs - Set of 4 - Easter Gift Ideas for Kids Teens and Adults Boys & Girls Family Fun - Cool Teenage Lazer Group Activity, Teen Gifts Ages 8+ Year Old

Fun for kids:I bought this for my son’s 12th birthday in hopes to give him something other than video games or more screen time, and it was a hit. All his friends were super excited and couldn’t wait to set up the game. They played several hours during daylight and then played a while longer in the dark. Everyone loved it and it was super easy to set up. Battery life:So far it lasted several hours without dying we charged them once the kids were done so they would be ready for the next time so we never ran them completely dead. Why did you pick this product vs others?:I went with this set due to it being rechargeable. Most other options had many reviews about using up tons of batteries so this seemed worth the try and so far we are super happy with it. I will say the charging wires for the chest plates are small and seem like if not carefully removed each time they could break easily, but we have told the kids to leave them on the charger until we get them so hopefully they will last longer. Over all very happy with the product

So much fun! Family game night. I've had since May 2023, no problem and definitely worth the money.

I was concerned about this product at first because one of the vests came broken and I had read some poor reviews about the customer service here, but that was not my experience. Once I contacted the company saying one came broken, they asked me to give them the number off the back and in less then two weeks we had a replacement and we did not have to bother sending the broken one back. I still wasn't ready to write a review however because we hadn't tried the game yet, and we had used another brand before. I wanted a comparison, and I was not disappointed. Some of the things that make these guns better. NO CABLE attached to the gun, you just shoot yourself to link. We loved this feature. NO BATTERIES, whew, most of these guns take 6 or more batteries per set, I think this alone will pay for it's slightly steeper cost than some of the others with similar features. Four different gun types, each does different amounts of damage, super fun to switch around. I like the "pew, pew" laser gun. There is the ability to turn the sound off if you would like, and the ability to turn the lighting off for a "Stealth" mode that lasts about 30 seconds, so you can sneak up on someone if you are playing in the dark. The quality of the guns feels very solid, no some flimsy light weight thing. The chest receivers also have a sensor in the back which a lot of the other laser gun sets lack. This is a very good laser set, highly recommend.

We bought 2 sets of this for my son and his friends. Thinking it might not survive the aggressive play. The Hero Squad 2.0 has surpassed what I thought about home laser tag equipment and to be honest by the end of the month, I believe I will purchase more sets of this because now all the kids want to come over and play.The guns are easy to pair with the vest. The guns have color on them but that does not necessarily mean that they are on that color team. The real team color will actually light up throughout the gun and vest. We did have a minor charging issue where it acted as if it wouldn't charge while on the dock. We disconnected it all even from the wall, played with the unit and when we put it back on the charger it connected without issue.One feature I enjoyed is that there are 4 different kinds of firing mode each with different strength levels. For instance, if you use pistol mode, its accurate within 30-40 feet, and it only takes one life away and you can fire quickly. But in AR mode the rounds are further apart, its more accurate at longer distances and it takes two lives away. Then my favorite is what I call "sniper mode" where you can shoot up to 100-130 feet accurately, it takes 3 lives away at contact, but there is a longer reload time.Hero Squad 2.0 has been fun for all ages. My goal is to add to the two sets we have, and play capture the flag with two teams of 8. The parents occasionally will join the "fight" in disbelief of how good the connectivity is. And they are usuall impressed. My little kids (ages 3-6) will run throughout the house playing and by the end of the day they have tired themselves out.One thing I wish this offered is an app to see who's in and who is out of the round. But no company offers that at this point. In silent mode a team can lose all their lives, turn the system off and restart it and no one would know that they were "out."
