One of the things I was excited to bring to this year’s Armageddon tournament was a bit of laser tag history. I set up a display of packs from systems played in Armageddon’s of past years that were not being played this year and it was amazing to see people responding so enthusiastically to the nostalgia! These packs from the Laser Tag Museum Collection represent a wide spectrum of systems, many that are no longer being made or played, but that clearly brought back memories.

The Shadow Syndicate team arrived in Syracuse bright and early on Thursday morning, ready to take on Armageddon 2026! I had a good feeling about joining this team and the vibe stayed right every step of the way during this tournament, played under the captaining of NinjaGangsta (Terrence) and alongside teammates MamaBear, Havoc, Showtime, Grumpy, Papa Smurf, Shadowdragon and Masterboy. Day 1 was a lot of tag, all imported, which always brings with it some challenges. I want t

This week’s Museum Collection Monday feature is a new item that has already become a rare laser tag collectible. Clueageddon is a limited print run board game with only 30 produced in total. Inspired by a classic favorite, but customized for the laser tag community, this game has character cards based on real-life Armageddon tournament players, 3D printed laser tag inspired pieces, twist cards with more laser tag inside jokes than you can imagine! The game board has “rooms” t

Today’s Museum Collection Monday spotlight goes to Solaris Leisure. Founded by William Latham, Solaris Leisure used phasers that they called “Raygens”, using a deliberate choice in the terminology. Raygens would “speak” to players in a game and could be adjusted for a choice of two languages, for example English could be an option along with French, Spanish, Japanese or German.

Happy 250th anniversary America! Today I am reflecting on the country that I love so much that I continue to laser tag my way across it again…and again…and now again! I am more than halfway through my third time around, laser tagging in all 50 states. I have seen all parts of this country from coast to coast and am grateful for the adventures and opportunities I have had along the journey. This weekend I am spending at home, so last night we celebrated in patriotic style at m

I arrived at Southern Lanes in Owensboro, KY expecting to play one system, but was really pleasantly surprised to learn they had recently switched to another system that I rarely get the chance to play. That’s why I was so excited to walk into the briefing room and see their racks of Netronic’s Eclipse pack, the most traditional tag product in their line-up. Awesome! I was joined by Chase and Charlize who went over the system with me as we suited up for a game. We were all ex

The reason I traveled to Kentucky was because I heard of a brand new arena, just recently opened in Owensboro. I was intrigued to check out Maui’s Indoor Theme Park. This was a Malibu Jack’s project, but rebranded with a new name and a fresh look. This was the main catalyst for planning my trip to Kentucky and it made a big first impression! It was while I was waiting out a game and smiling for this photo under the laser tag entrance that I heard a voice call out to me, “Hey,

Last weekend I set off on a whirlwind 24 hour tour of Kentucky, that led me to make a loop from Louisville to Owensboro and back, starting and ending my adventure at Malibu Jack’s. As soon as I landed in Louisville, I made a beeline for Malibu Jack’s Louisville first, where I prepared to check out their Laser Invasion arena. I entered the briefing room to find the bright rows of Laserforce Gen 7 packs and, since this is Kentucky, commemorated my first stop with…wait for it…a
