What It Was Really Like

I thoroughly enjoyed joining a group at Monster Mini Golf Towson in Parkville, MD where we got to play some Zone Helios 2 in an upstairs arena. I timed it perfectly to get into this game!
The single-level game space was a nicely done, bright neon apocolyptic setting with cool props, interesting base housings and bonus targets around many of the maze corners.
The colorful centerpiece structure in the middle is an eye-catcher that gives a hint that something has happened here.
Multiple points were punctuated by “explosive” window cut-outs to look like the battle was already underway.
And there were plenty of barrels and barriers to hide behind and tag between.
This was awesome and I had a wonderful experience playing here. It was a great game and a solid arena, which is why I wish that I had seen some of this coolness depicted on their website.
I’m going to take this opportunity to comment on something I see a LOT when I research laser tag arenas in advance of paying a visit. So many businesses either use stock photos from the internet and/or images of equipment or arena designs that they do not actually have at their business. This was the third time today that I found something completely different in the actual arena compared with what I had seen online. This is in no way a complaint about the game or the gear, both of which I really enjoyed. And, to give the benefit, perhaps some (not all) of the photos on their website could have been taken from other Monster Mini Golf locations. I know this is just one anecdotal example, but I bring it up because I see this happen time and time again on many laser tag websites. Sometimes I even see more than one brand of laser tag equipment shown in the same website, which can be confusing.
When RNT showed up to meet up with me (along with Jellotown and Toby) he also commented that, based on what he saw on the website, he was expecting them to have different equipment. So, though the experience was great, I want to implore all the arena owners out there to not simply rely on stock photos, but rather showcase what is unique about your own arena and equipment. Laser tag is not all the same. Actual pics of what you have to offer give a more realistic impression to your customers and often times it looks even better! So, take that for what you will. It was a great time and here you can get a look at what the experience was really like.
