This past Saturday I went to Laser Quest the local laser tag place, keep in mind I never been to any laser tag place before and went at possibly the worse time and you know what I still had fun.
Once I enter I went to what they label as
Phase 1 Check In
That is where you pay your admission, and they gave me on this day a blue card. Which is for the next Phase
Phase 2 Code Name Registration
This is where you tell them what name you like to use and they exchange that blue card of mine for a blue stick with a magnetic sensor embedded in it which is for the next phase.
Phase 3 Briefing Room
It’s actually more than that, it’s where they what you need to do with that blue plastic stick and read aloud the rules. After which you head in the next room where you get these vests where are located the sensors which detect hits and the laser gun. This where the fun starts once you put on that vest, the stick you see actives everything. Then you head on in to the large room with a 2 tier maze and for the next half hour you start shooting the hell at one another.
The game I was apart of had 4 adults including myself and 16 kids all around the same age who at times ganged up on me. Can anyone say Custard’s Last Stand. That is the way I felt, which quickly turned in to feeling like a kid again playing tag.
Believe me that 30 mintues goes by fast, and if your not in the greatest of shape like me. You will be glad it’s over, I fully admit it everyone I was tired!!! Frankly all I did was want to sit down after I returned my vest to it’s resting place.
So filled with self doubt I exited and returned to where this all started. The lobby and
Phase 4 Getting Your Own Personalized Score
But 1st it appears on a screen…being out numbered I was actually delighted to come in 10th. More like shock, but I really was 10th. Later when a staff member came out with the score sheet I kept mine as a souvenir. A personal triumph if you will.
So let me answer the BIG question will I be back…YES!! I also had a suggestion for all of you like me who are not in the greatest of shape and know they need exercise. Stick with laser tag, I swear I lost weight even though it was only a half hour.
