I am genuinely saddened to learn about the passing yesterday (May 24, 2025) of Peter David, the author who wrote the Photon adventure novels under the pseudonym name of David Peters. This man had an influence on me through these books in a larger way than what many may know. Even though my first awareness of laser tag (as a child) was through the Photon television series and I didn’t play until many years later, I distinctly remember reading one of his novels and thinking to

I didn’t even have to leave the state for this tag trip!  A day that started with a giant pancake in the Adirondacks (more on that later) ended with an awesome time playing some Elite tactical laser tag at the Battleground Outdoor Laser Tag field at Big Don’s Wild River Mini Golf in Cicero, NY. As I arrived, I found this bear who looks like he has enjoyed a few of those same base-size pancakes that started my adventure earlier in the day. But it was after I made my way past t

Wrapping up this series of panels from the Laser Tag Summit, this week I just sit back and listen to a few industry professionals as they chat about the numbers and where laser tag is trending.

I’m posting the weekly featured exhibit a few hours early while it’s still May the 4th. This is the original concept artwork commissioned by George Carter III to illustrate his vision for Photon, the first commercial laser tag arena game, which was inspired by his watching the movie Star Wars. With all that evolved from that idea, it seems fitting to note it on this day…May the 4th be with you and let the light shine! Comments or Questions?  Contact: Tivia@tiviachickloveslase

I’m usually the one asking the questions, but this week the tables are turned as I answer questions about my views on what makes for successful laser tag operations along with my co-panelist, Caleb Bittar, during this discussion panel moderated by Russ Van Natta. Enjoy the Laser Tag: Anchor vs Afterthought panel from the Laser Tag Summit on this week’s episode of Laser Unfocused Tag Talk.
