Just wondering, am I the only one who took a three hour detour on route to the tournament when I heard there was a laser tag arena in Pennsylvania that I had missed? I picked up an extra stop on my way to Ohio by visiting Fun Central in Clearfield, PA for a game of Lazer Runner. I had called ahead and inquired about the system. Based on the description of the gear I could tell it was going to be Runner, but when I asked if the phaser looked like a grocery store price scanner

The Photon television show reportedly premiered on this day (September 20th) back in 1986. It is with tremendous gratitude to my sweet friend, the late David Stay, that Mandarr’s Private Collection of backstage photos from the show can continue to be viewed at https://tiviachick.wixsite.com/photonforever . Years ago when I was originally building the Photon Forever website, David sent me the original pics to scan and return to him for the purpose of archiving these rare image

Earlier this week I was just sitting here in my office, drinking my coffee and reading about our last Tag 4 A Cause in this month’s issue of RePlay Magazine. :) Which seems like a good excuse to remind you that our next Tag 4 A Cause in support of the Epilepsy Foundation will be taking place during the draft tournament at Skyway Laser Storm on Sunday, September 22st. This is the Tag 4 A Cause trophy for the fundraiser. When you make a donation to the Epilepsy Foundation durin

While in North Carolina I met an amazingly talented artist named Leanne Hannah who did some awesome laser tag art for me to add to my website! :) For the record, I am NOT attempting a third time around tagging all 50 states. However, since completing my second time around at the end of 2023, I have laser tagged in 21 states yet again! So…not trying for 3x…but…hmmm… Comments or Questions?  Contact: Tivia@tiviachickloveslasertag.com   Websites: www.tiviachickloveslasertag.com a

I really appreciate that the staff at District 57 worked with me so that I could experience their tactical arena during a very short window of time that I had while I was in Charlotte. There are multiple attractions featured at this distinctive entertainment center, but the Bordertown tactical laser tag arena featuring iCOMBAT equipment is what drew me to pay a visit. Generally they require a minimum of four players, but the next available game I could join with a group would

I really enjoy seeing cool statement structures built inside of laser tag arenas. It’s one of the things I tend to remember the most.

That’s why I was so excited to see an iconic piece of the Charlotte skyline represented in the form of a Wells Fargo-inspired building

Get ready for it. I am about to make a big, controversial statement (lol, not that big and I hope not that controversial!)…here it is. I actually really enjoy playing Lasertron in non-Tron arenas. I know, stop the presses! But when I visited Stars and Strikes in Rock Hill, SC I was joined by three other players for a small game in a CW built arena and I was excited because the flow of the game always feels a little bit different and fresh in this kind of space.
