There is some clever ingenuity inside the laser tag arena I experienced at Funtrackers Family Fun Park in Hot Springs, AR. This place is an excellent example of how to revitalize an existing arena to keep things fresh! I enjoyed a game of CyberBlast where a couple of cool things caught my attention…and the expression on my mini-rubber chicken’s face pretty much mirrors my thoughts, lol! The rubber chicken has become something of a mascot since first appearing at Tag 4 A Cause

It’s no joke that southern hospitality is a real thing, and I experienced it as soon as I arrived in Arkansas. I made a beeline straight for Main Event in Little Rock as soon as my flight landed, timing out perfectly to tag with this awesome group, made up mostly of students from Arkansas State University. I’ve been around a Main Event or two (or actually 26 of them) before, so I’m quite familiar with what to expect, so I was looking around for the counter to buy my game pass

I had planned to meet up with Emily for one more game at Jack and Jill Lanes in Lehi, UT. However, I arrived and waited for a bit, but I didn’t see her…or the laser tag, for that matter. It turns out there are actually two bowling alleys called Jack and Jill’s in the area and I ended up at the wrong one! Once we got that figured out (and I ended up in Lehi about ten minutes later) I realized that, while this was up a different hill, it really had a spectacular view of a few l

Rad Tag in Pleasant Grove, UT has a really impressive arena and is very aptly name because it was, in fact, really rad tag! You can tell immediately when you walk through the doors that this is a really cool Lasertron arena. You know because the ob deck here consists of a giant picture window giving a full-wall size view into the two-story arena. This is so smart because it grabs the eye with the brightly lit sectors, it allows a spectator to observe and engage with the game

I was excited to visit Coin Crazy Family Fun Center in Spanish Fork, UT, where we got to play some Laserforce Gen 7 in their city apocalypse themed arena. Emily (aka Dwan) met up with me for a game. We vested up and were ready to go 1v1 in a with literal “full Force”. She has played tag here before and told me ahead of time that she really liked this arena. I wholeheartedly agree! We tagged around the central focal point, this singed building, that anchors the theme. You can

I was able to visit two Rush Funplex locations while in Utah. The first was in Orem at the start of the day and the other was in West Jordan at the end. The unique circumstances of this day made both stops very literally a rush! Due to a last minute change in travel plans I had to complete visits to five arenas before 3:00 in order to catch my new flight, so I first headed to Orem and walked in the door bright and early when they opened at 10:00. I am very appreciative that t

I closed out my first night in Utah with a visit to Laser Assault in Provo, which was long overdue, but well worth the wait! At the end of an amazing day I continued on to the Laser Storm arena that Brett (aka Snake) had set up with his original business partner, Aaron, following the closure of the former Storm arena in that town. Now Brett operates the business with a new partner, Chris, and I got to jump into a few games with the awesome group of regulars who showed up for

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

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

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.
