    Equipment Overview: Delta Strike has produced laser tag equipment including Revolution Pro, Evolution Pro, Evolution FEC and Genesis. As quoted from Delta Strike’s Evolution marketing material: “During game play, disks display a players team color by illuminating the body and shoulder sensors. Available team colors are red, green, blue, magenta, gold, and silver. The super-bright LED’s can revolve and flash in many different patterns depending on what mode the vest is in.” According to the Delta Strike website Genesis laser tag equipment includes “more than 100 LEDs, wireless charger, LCD touchscreen and selfie camera along with star laser, self-aware diagnostics and magnetic buckle.”

    Historical Synopsis: Doug Willems was motivated to create his own laser tag equipment on the heels of purchasing a laser tag business in 2002 that was operating using Laser Strike. Willems and David Lowe teamed up and established Delta Strike International Limited, which was incorporated on November 5, 2004 and Willems began using his Delta Strike equipment at his facility in 2006, swapping it out to replace the Laser Strike gear. Willems sold that facility about a year later to focus on growing Delta Strike. The Delta Strike product was recognized with honors in 2014 when Delta Strike won the Endace Innovative Hi-Tech Hardware Product Award at the NZ Hi-Tech Awards that year in New Zealand.
