This Week’s Star
It’s Museum Collection Monday and this week’s “star” is Star Laser Force. Founded in April of 1985 by Bill Lewis with the support of technical engineer Lee Weinstein, the creation of this system was also inspired by Star Wars (much like Photon). Star Laser Force opened one location in Houston. Check out more of this collection at LaserTagMuseum.com . Comments or Questions?

Talking with the Top Gun
This week on Laser Unfocused Tag Talk I’m chatting with Nick Price, winner of the "Top Gun" honors at the 2025 Laser Storm national tournament, about the tournament event and the citation he received from Pennsylvania State Representative Arvind Venkat in recognition of his laser tag accomplishment.

A Peek at Plazma Force
It’s Museum Collection Monday, so let’s take a look at Plazma Force! This system does not require the phaser to be connected to the vest. I have only ever played this system once myself and in that game we did not wear vests (it was phasers only) so there are different ways this system can be enjoyed.

Right On Target
There’s something new inside my local laser tag arena. Check out these custom targets that have just been added! Up until now the extra targets here have been housed in the classic Laserforce shield plastics, just like the bases, and that has been the standard design that I’ve come to expect to see in most LF arenas (either that or tablet beacons). However, this new hexagonal design is NOT an official LF product, but rather the result of some real ingenuity from several laser


Knock On Wood
Knock on wood, it’s Museum Collection Monday! From the tactical collection, this is a wooden prototype Berserker made by Battlefield Sports.

Tag Talk from the Ultrazone Fort Wayne 30th Anniversary
On this week’s episode of Laser Unfocused Tag Talk, while attending the 30th anniversary celebration of Ultrazone Fort Wayne I had the chance to sit down and talk with owner Pat O’Connor, his daughter Mary O’Connor and general manager Paige Herman about this legacy laser tag arena celebrating three decades of making memories.

Security! Security!
I was not calling for security because there was any problem. Quite the opposite. When I arrived (literally running) to Clarksville Strike and Spare in Clarksville, IN it was nearly closing time. Ever try to pull a laser tag game together at 11:45 when the business closes at midnight? Well, with HUGE thanks to manager Heather, staff member (and impromptu game tech) Kaylin, and security guard Chris I was able to play one final game of the night and not miss being to say that I


Is There An Elephant in the Arena?
I thought I had seen it all. Over the years I’ve played in laser tag arenas where I have found dinosaurs, flying cars, giant animatronic spiders and I can’t even count how many Statues of Liberty I’ve tagged around. However, this was the first time I can recall walking into a game and thinking “Is there an elephant in the arena?!” It was a delightful surprise to find a really stunning, jungle themed arena at Fun Blast in Seymour, IN hidden behind this attention-getting entryw


Aruba, Jamaica, Indiana…Tagging Down In Kokomo
There are a few things I wanted to do while traveling through Indiana. The ones I allowed myself to enjoy this trip included visits to three more laser tag arenas after I left Fort Wayne, starting with a detour that took me “…way down in Kokomo” to The Zone Sports and Event Complex in Kokomo, IN. And believe me, I was singing the refrain to that Beach Boys song the entire way! I am incredibly appreciative to Kalyn for working with me on accommodating a last minute visit and c


Celebrating Ultrazone Fort Wayne’s 30th Anniversary
Getting to attend the 30th anniversary of Ultrazone Fort Wayne in Indiana was such a wonderful experience! This is quite a milestone for a legacy, standalone laser tag center that was not only the first laser tag in Fort Wayne when they opened three decades ago, but has also resonated strongly with me over the last ten years of my own laser tag journey. When I heard about this event I knew I needed to be there, so I flew out to Indiana just for one day to be part of the festi
