What is Archery Tag?

Archery Tag is a new concept that combines archery and paintball. Imported from the United States, this discipline is becoming increasingly popular. Many curious people in search of an unusual and fun sport are taking it up! More challenging than target archery, archery is nonetheless an activity within the reach of anyone capable of moving from one shelter to another.

The aim of the game is simple: eliminate the opposing team by shooting at its members or its 5 fixed targets. Armed with a bow and arrow, you'll need to protect your camp at all costs. Players need to show cohesion, composure and strategy to anticipate shots and hit their opponents.

Easy, fun and safe, Archery Tag will delight young and old alike. It's the ideal way to spend a convivial, fun-filled moment at a bachelor party, with friends or your colleagues.

Course of play and game modes

How a game of archery tag unfolds depends on the game mode selected. Nevertheless, the format remains fairly generic:

• Welcome and briefing on rules and game modes
• Presentation, equipment and initiation for neophytes
• It's off to a fun and sporting battle! Players are divided into teams and can only move within a delimited zone (their own camp and the neutral zone, but not the opposing team's zone).

There are several game modes:

• Team deathmatch or survival mode: a player hit by an arrow is eliminated. The team with all players eliminated loses.
• Prisoner: if you're hit, you're a prisoner in the opposing camp. Your team-mates can free you by touching you. The first team to hit all 5 opposing targets wins.
• The doctor: each team has a doctor with the power to heal players who have been hit. The aim is to neutralize the opposing team's doctor.
