Scenario equipment for airsoft
A game that comes down to eliminating the other side runs out of steam fast. Scenario equipment gives players something else to do: a zone to cross, information to recover, a role to hold. The objective replaces plain contact.
A constraint a rifle cannot solve
That is the whole principle. Players who dislike direct contact find a role, and long games keep their rhythm because something is always happening away from the front line.
Two approaches
- A survival time nobody knows — the Dosimeter is a countdown whose length is drawn at random. The organiser sets a maximum survival time, and each unit draws a value between half that maximum and the maximum itself. Set identically and switched on together, five dosimeters will stop at five different moments: nobody knows who will fall first in the contaminated zone, which rules out any calculation and forces a quick exit.
- A narrative thread — the Ghost Device is a dummy phone you fill yourself: messages, photos, contacts, notes. Players reach it through a QR code placed on the field, on a 3D-printed shell or one cut from plywood. It is the ideal way to feed intel through without interrupting play.
Beyond airsoft
This equipment is also used in escape games, live-action role-play and training exercises. The devices are built to be handled by players who have never seen them: few controls, immediate reactions, and no settings to touch mid-game.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Dosimeter measure real radiation?
No. It is a simulation: a countdown whose length is drawn at random between half the maximum survival time and that maximum. No radioactive source is involved.
Do these scenarios need a dedicated organiser?
Not necessarily. The devices run on their own once set. An organiser is still useful for narrative scenarios, where someone decides the pace of the reveals.
What is on the Ghost Device?
Whatever you put there. It is a dummy phone whose content you write yourself — messages, photos, contacts — and which players reach through a QR code placed on the field.
Can it be used indoors?
Yes, and that is where this equipment works best: on a covered field, short distances make objectives easier to read.
