ficitonal game

so for this fictional game i want to take a look at tag removed from the sense of touch. lazer tag does this in a way that shifts the game to relying heavily upon the sense of sight. i was going to see if i could think of a way to shift the game into relying heavily upon the sense of sound.
i know that in ordinary tag the sense of sound comes into effect when you are listening to see if the person who is it is running up behind you to tag you. now i was trying to think of a way to create a version of tag that used sound waves like how the lazer travels to hit a sensor in lazer tag.
so in sound tag you where these suits that are full body suits. this suits allow full mobility so that you can run at full speed and duct and stuff like that. they have sensors in them that monitor the sound waves for key commands that are prerecorded before each match. this is so that the monitors could be able to grab a hold of your vocal patterns. the suits also have a visual sensor so that when other suits pass in front of yours your suit will notice.
the prerecorded command is a command that tells the suits to prohibit movement but the recorded command only works with the suit that is on the visual monitor tha is on your suit. so the visual monitor would be on the chest of the suit and if you spoke the prerecorded command when another players suit was within the path of your visual monitor they would be frozen. the combination of these two monitoring devices woould be key to getting past the ability for people to just yell the command. this also creates an emphasis being placed upon the language of the game. tag you are it or i got you becomes as crucial in this form as it was in the orginal form of tag. the importance in lazer tag falls heavily not on the auditory or language used. it is more upon the line of sight of the lazer light and monitor. this new version combines the element of sight and hearing. i dont know, but it was fun to think of new ways to play tag. (too bad i'm stuck inside)
