About Us

Gel Tag Games is owned and operated by Michael Douglas and Clara Toro-Douglas.

Michael’s Gel Tag Origin Story

Growing up in Portland Oregon, Michael and his experiences as a child and young adult led to his passion for playing Gel Tag. As a kid he played Capture The Flag at summer camp. He also enjoyed rubber band fights, and shooting bb guns with friends. While living in Brooklyn, He played paintball with friends from church a few times. He also got to enjoy playing with orbeez, nerf guns, paintball, and laser tag with his kids for birthday parties and other events.

All of these team shooter types of games led him to discover a safe alternative to those types of games: Gel Tag.
