Tag or be Tagged!

Dart Tag is a series of Nerf products that was released in 2004.

Dart Tag was also an "official" sport for Nerf; from 2009 to 2011 there was an official tournament Nerf ran called the Nerf Dart Tag League.

Details[]

Products under the Dart Tag series include blasters, vests, goggles, and other accessories that are meant to be used with the game of "Dart Tag".

History[]

Dart Tag was originally under the Street Zone line. This name was quickly changed however and was only officially called this on the packaging of the first set to include the Hyperfire. This may assume that this line of Nerf blasters would have actually intended to be under the Nerf Sports line.

Dart Tag blasters released from 2005 until 2009 all come packaged with Tagger Micro Darts. However, they can all fire other kinds of Micro Darts as well; the Quick 16 and Speedload 6 are exceptions to this. Since 2011, the primary type of ammunition was changed to Tagger Micro Whistler Darts.

In the United Kingdom and Canada, the 2011 blasters were released under the name Dart Tag 2.0.

In 2012, several Dart Tag blasters were re-released with blue triggers. These blasters have a better range than their original blaster due to stronger internals.

The 2013 line was originally speculated to be much bigger, with eyewitness accounts claiming four blasters were to be released.[1] Despite this, only one blaster, the Stinger was released in 2013. Although rumors were spread that new Dart Tag products would appear in 2014, no news of a new blaster was ever released.

In 2018, Hasbro began development of a successor series, Dart Tag Elite; while products from this series were leaked in 2019[2], the line of products was ultimately cancelled.

Trivia[]

  • The 2011 Dart Tag blasters have many shells of plastic, making them harder to modify. This is probably done to stop people from cheating in the official tournament and/or regular matches.
    • The 2011 Dart Tag blasters notably do not feature tactical rails, stock attachment points, or barrel attachment points; this is presumably to standardize Dart Tag play.
