The Gems

GEMs (Game Enhancement Modules) are one of the key features that makes DarkLight different from other laser tag systems. GEMs are intelligent, programmable entities in the Arena that are the gateway into special games, themed adventures, etc.

GEMs are found all around the Arena. They can both help and hinder you. When tagged, the GEMs flash and show the pack number of the player that tagged them. By tagging the GEMs you can receive benefits, such as more Ammunition, Energy, different Weapons etc. These Power-Ups are set when the game is created, so each GEM can have a totally different power in every game.

GEMs can also attack you. Each has a sensor that will detect movement in an area around it. When triggered, it will sound off and start counting down, giving you a couple of seconds to either tag it (and defuse it) or get out of the area!

GEMs can act as energizers, team bases, sentinels, aid-stations, ammo dumps, Keys, mines - you name it, they can do it. They can be programmed to ignore their own teams' players and only attack enemies, to be Adventure Game characters such as Vampires... there's lots more! GEMs can also trigger special effects such as lights, music, open doors, etc. GEMs can be anything so beware the GEM!
