    ·  Must be familiar with video gaming consoles, how to trouble shoot, how to navigate menus in games, etc.

    ·  Ability to learn how to operate the generator and electronics associated to the trailer.  Understanding of TV inputs and switching between them to change interface.

    LASER TAG (LT) OR HERO BLAST (HB)

    ·  Computer literate – have to operate a laptop & special gaming software that communicates to the laser tag guns via a WiFi broadcast.  Ability to quickly learn troubleshooting skills for this setup.

    ·  Bunker setup.  This is very physical if a mobile event!  You will setup a field of 10 to 20 bunkers (that you load from a shed to a truck/trailer before the party).  Each bunker will have 2 or 4 stakes depending on its size and outside wind conditions.  The stakes are a U shaped piece of bent rebar.  It must be driven fully into the ground so there isn’t any trip hazard or sharp objects to get cut on.  Then you blow them up with a leaf blower.  At the end of the party you must deflate the bunkers and pull out all of the stakes. At the complex we leave them up most of the time so it is less intensive and usually just requires airing up the bunkers and mainteance of the bungees and stakes except when we reconfigure the setup.

    ·  For mobile, all equipment and bunkers must be accounted for and reloaded into the truck/trailer.  Then put back in the shed in the same appropriate condition with batteries removed and tested.

    ·  Same safety concepts as Paintball safety and gear use but for Arrow Tag.

    KONA ICE (KI)
