COMMUNITY & CAMARADERIE :
BRINGING THE QUAD™ TO LIFE

Receiving your Quad™—the iconic structure that brings World Chase Tag® to life—is a milestone moment. As the Quad™ takes its place in your gym, the excitement from the local community is almost tangible. People of all ages, drawn by the thrill of competitive tag, come together to participate in this inclusive, high-energy sport that reconnects them with the joy of the oldest game we all played as kids: tag. Watching your community grow as new teams form, develop skills, and gain experience is incredibly rewarding. You’re not just offering a fitness option; you’re creating a social hub where members find excitement, challenge, and camaraderie in every session.

From a business perspective, we provide you with the resources and partnerships needed to promote and sustain a successful WCT gym. Beyond the initial setup, you’ll have access to tools for communication, logistics, classes, and events—plus revenue-generating opportunities through partnerships with brands like E-Vadr™ and Squared™. With promotional support and invites to WCT events, your gym can grow as a hub for the World Chase Tag® community, attracting new members and maximizing engagement. In every way, we’re committed to helping you build a space that thrives both in excitement and in business stability.

Christian & Damien Devaux - Founders of World Chase Tag®
The success we’ve had so far is all down to the fact that Chasing is such a natural thing for people to do. Pretty much every person we speak to around the world played Chase Tag® when they were young so I think its just something that everyone can relate to. For thousands of years, Chasing and Evading would have been a matter of life and death so its easy to see why we still have such a strong reaction to it today.

The license agreement is dependent on whether or not you purchase a Quad™. Any venue or licensee operating with an official Quad™ must get an Official License Agreement (OLA) as well as a level 2 certification for the coaches. Venues or licensees operating without an official Quad™ (ie. in parks, youth clubs, gyms, …) must get a Standard License Agreement (SLA) as well as a level 1 certification for the coaches.

Yes. You are licensing the World Chase Tag® name and making it legal to use that name. Whether you’re making a profit or not, we still require a license.

Yes, we do not limit the number of licensees in any given area.

No. Only World Chase Tag LLC and its partners can provide a certification to coaches. Visit Courses for more info.

Anyone coaching a World Chase Tag class must hold a current WCT Certification. Level 2 certification is mandatory to work on the official Quad™.

We love that licensees hold competitions and would like to do everything we can to encourage such events. When planning your competition, please keep in mind these simple rules:

– Please avoid the use of the World Chase Tag in conjunction with any country’s name or area with >1M inhabitants. It is also forbidden to use the regular naming of official events : WCTnumber (ie. WCT6 in 2023). Last, the “Flight Club” events are only permitted on certain conditions, to be seen with WCTLLC beforehand. The reasoning behind this is to avoid confusion for fans and viewers between official events (giving a national, continental or worlds title) and unofficial ones.

– Run a great event, have fun, and send us photos so we can share your good times with the community.

The Standard and Official License Agreements are the main Licenses for any Gym or Company operating under the WCT® brand. There is one more plan called the Broadcast License Agreement to organise national championships and/or television broadcasting. This contract must be discussed and constructed jointly with WCT LLC. Please contact us for further information.

"Bringing WCT into our gym was a game-changer. It’s not just a sport; it’s a movement that brings our community together and challenges our athletes in new ways every time we host. Becoming the first WCT licensee in the U.S. has given us a unique identity that sets us apart—our members are hooked, and the energy is contagious. If you’re looking to energize your gym with something truly special, I can’t recommend it enough!"

"As a movement space and one of the fewparkour gyms in India, we felt the time was right to introduce WCT to a country that loves moving. As a highly competitive and populous nation, we expect Chase Tag to boom. The goal is to get an Indian team up on the podium at the earliest and eventually become regular winners and a force to be reckoned with."
