This past weekend I was bound for the Midwest and found myself Walking in Memphis (and singing the song in my head the whole way) until I got to Main Event where I took some time to go Tagging in Memphis instead! Last week I played at Main Event in West Chester, OH as well and at this point I’m just trying to see how many times I can take these same three photos in the exact same positions at all the Main Event locations I visit. Normally I just jump into a public game and pl

When my trip to Ohio was complete I started my drive back to New York, very happy to have had so many wonderful laser tag experiences over the weekend. When I was only a couple of hours away from Rochester I remembered there was a tournament event happening that night at Lasertron and my GPS confirmed I could probably get there (just barely) in time to play. The only problem was I had not originally planned on being back in time and therefore had no team. Well, never one to l

I got to experience a small, but really attractive arena and play a little Delta Strike while visiting Playzone Toledo. I had plenty of time to explore the 3000 square foot single level space because the game I landed in happened to be comprised entirely of kids and that meant I didn’t really play so much as I let them use me as a moving target. Sometimes it’s just better to let it play out like that. However, that also gave me a chance to really look around and explore the a

With some time to spare on the morning of Tag 4 A Cause I made a detour towards Defiance, OH to make a stop at Putt Putt Golf and Games. As early as I arrived I was hoping to be able to get in a game with their Laserforce Gen 7 gear. I was glad to have Haleigh on board for a 1v1 to get my day started. Before we went into the arena I also got to meet the owner, Lisa, who I had called back in October with intentions of visiting this site then, however travel guidelines meant I

As I got closer to the point of playing my 350th laser tag arena I began to consider what kind of site I wanted to visit to make hitting that mark a bit special. I decided the right place for this milestone number would be Scene 75 Dayton because they are truly a phoenix rising story, rebuilding from a natural disaster and returning bigger and better than they were before. I have been following this location for awhile and knew they had faced some pretty big challenges in the

Woodman Laser Tag in Kettering, Ohio provided one of the best game experiences of my entire trip so far! Located inside Woodman Lanes is a nice, two level laser tag arena running Helios CE. However, what made this visit most memorable were the players. I had shown up a little before their All You Can Play night began, so there were some regulars and some staff members available to go into the game. These guys rocked! They brought a very competitive level of play and I think w

When I arrived at Laser Web in Dayton, Ohio I walked in the door to find three employees curiously staring at me because they had just watched me taking selfies in front of their building. I was going to explain that I was doing so because I write a blog, but instead I began by just purchasing a game and inquiring about who I might get to play against. There was nobody else waiting, so one of the guys looked at another and asked “do you want to beat her?” It did not sound lik

Lazer Kraze in Mainesville, OH was a last minute addition to my itinerary. When I ended up driving to Ohio instead of flying it meant revising my original plan a bit. I’m glad I got to experience this site, if for no other reason because this may now be my favorite tag t-shirt. The two level arena is decked out in dayglo colors for a bright, almost 90s style decor. I always enjoy getting to play Zone Nexus because it is my favorite style of phaser. I don’t get to all that oft

Sometimes the pirate ship theme can be a tough one to execute well without it coming off a little cheesy, but Scallywag Tag in Cincinnati, OH really did a great job with it! They run CyberBlast and my first impression from seeing the small briefing room/half vesting area was that this was going to be a very kiddie oriented game and arena, but I was pleasantly surprised when we entered the arena and I found that the entire top level was built out as the deck of a majestic look

The Web Extreme Entertainment in West Chester, OH was not what I expected, but definitely a great time. I arrived under the impression that this site used Darklight, and since I get so few opportunities to play that system I was looking forward to it. However, when Richard and Owen and I entered the briefing room I discovered this was not the case. They are currently running Battle Company…surprise! Well, this could be interesting. I have mostly played this quasi-tactical sys
