The Original Armageddon Girl
The 2026 Armageddon laser tag tournament is only about four months away and if I were to refer to an Armageddon Girl competing in it this year I would likely be talking about Shadowdragon, Sakura, Shel, Mama Bear, Nobody, Woz or me…which is actually more female representation than I thought was going to be on this list! If I talk about the O.G. Armageddon Girls you may think of names like Blueflame, Wanezza or Harlequin. But this weekend during the course of my tag trip to Ut


This Spuds For You: Tagging In Idaho
As I continue my adventures laser tagging around the country, I found myself headed to Idaho Falls, ID to play some Zone Nexus out at Blast Off. After receiving my “taters for out of staters” welcome to Idaho before getting there (more on that later), I took my Spuddy Buddy along for the ride to experience a really unique arena! When I arrived at Blast Off I was greeted by Robert who has owned this family-operated business with his wife Dina for nearly 30 years. This place is


Talking About Ataka
It’s Museum Collection Monday with a look at Ataka, a system founded in 2002 by Alexander Tarasov. The red vest is complete, while the green is an example of the alternate color vest material.

White Starlyte
Many people played Worlds of Wonder Lazer Tag using a black Starlyte pistol, but this white Starlyte is one of only six known salesman’s samples made in a different color. The actual phaser is the Museum Collection Monday artifact, but I have also included a pic of a white Starlyte pin (NOT vintage), which is an artist’s tribute to this rarity from the toy laser tag world.

My Phaser Valentine
This is My Phaser Valentine. It’s a Laser Trooper (by LaserMaxx) phaser from a system that was only ever used by one commercial business arena location in the U.S. (or two if you count when they moved that arena to the lower level of the mall, no longer open) and I believe only five worldwide. This was my trophy prize for winning the Laser Trooper Valentine’s Day tournament held in 2020 at that arena in Topeka, KS. I remember my flight was cancelled, so I rented a car and dro


A Look at Laser Game Evolution
This week for Museum Collection Monday let’s take a look at two early versions of Laser Game Evolution. For comparison, first is made using a shiny vinyl-type material while the second has a fabric-style vest. This system was founded in France by Patrick Fournier in 1995.

Knights of the Actual Round Table (and the Bachelor Party the Night Before)
I don’t need any special excuse to play laser tag at Ultrazone Bensalem, but this weekend I had a reason that prompted me to make a road trip. Ready for it? I headed to Pennsylvania…to stand in a line at 6:30 in the morning…outside in the cold in front of the Ashley Furniture store…to meet two of the New Kids on the Block (Jordan and Jonathan Knight). I kid you not! Any trip to Philly MUST end up at Ultrazone Bensalem, especially since they have now upgraded to the new Helios


Ready for an “Escape”
At the end of the day I just kept on driving, ready for a weekend road trip adventure that began with a visit to Cloak and Dagger Escape Rooms in Hamilton, NJ. As I was looking for arenas in the vicinity of my planned travels I noticed a green dot on the Gel Blaster Nexus app, so I called ahead and was really pleased to be able to coordinate with the manager, Angela, to arrange a game while I was passing through New Jersey. When I arrived, Toby greeted me and Wendy showed me
