Day 2 started with our team getting ready for three team competition in Zone. We were playing at Q-Zar Toledo and it was my first time back there in three years. Surreal for reasons that made my day a “challenge” to say the very least, but being here reinforced the most important part of the Armageddon…the sense of community and friendship from my teammates who are always there to prop you up when you need it. As for the actual tournament, we had a decent showing. Having head

Armageddon Day 1 got started bright and early at Revolution Laser Tag in Clinton Township, MI, the site which was hosting us for the first three systems of the tournament. I am delighted to be back playing with Team Plausible Deniability! Before we even stepped foot into the arena, it was great to see so many laser tag friends returning for this year’s tournament. My thanks to the Brit for bringing me such a cool souvenir that he created. This will get a place of honor on th

Anyone who knows me knows I don’t go to any tournament without playing more laser tag, either before, during or after the competition (and sometimes all three!), and when my side ventures happen during Armageddon it has come to be known as Tivigeddon. So this is the story of “before”. Armageddon may not have Tron this year, but Tivigeddon does! Scuba, Ski Patrol and I all met up at C.J. Barrymore’s in Clinton Township, MI the night before Armageddon so we could play a little

With Ultrazone Portland now owned by a member and player of the competitive Zone laser tag scene, it is no surprise that their inaugural tournament took place within the first six months of Noah Kim taking over the reigns of this legacy laser tag facility. I was looking forward to my next chance to visit this site again, so the first tournament was a perfect opportunity. Players from across five states came out for two nights of competition. There was representation of player

The second of my two Tag 4 A Cause events in support of the Alzheimer’s Association was hosted prior to night two of the inaugural tournament at Ultrazone Portland in Milwaukie, OR and was a cumulative success from coast to coast! On the heels of the success we had at the first event in Syracuse, NY I was excited to hold my first west coast fundraiser and appreciate Noah for hosting me and all the players who came out to support a great cause, helping us to once again EXCEED

My final stop before the evening events was to Langer’s Entertainment in Sherwood, OR, with a really creative Sasquatch’s Revenge laser tag arena fully decked out in a sawmill theme. It’s been 30 seconds since I’ve brought up that I am a former Lumberjack Princess (I usually mention it in the context of how bad I am at axe throwing!), so you can imagine that how much this theme really speaks to me. :) But even aside from that, I just thought they did a phenomenal job with the

My visit to KingPins in Beaverton, OR was full of interesting little custom touches designed to set up the mood, the theme and the experience built around their Pandora-themed arena. I arrived at a time where I could wait for the next group game or, by my request, I was instead able to get into the arena faster doing a 1v1 with staff member Sophia. She handed me a lanyard with my game time and some scoring info for the Helios Pro targets and I returned a short time later to p

Following night one of the tournament in Portland (more on that soon) I rested and woke up ready for a Seaside adventure…by which I mean a tag trip out to Seaside Laser Tag and Arcade in Seaside, OR. This arena was located in an unexpected environment, directly across from a carousel inside a breezy shopping complex in a very touristy town on the west coast. I went in ready to play some free for all Tron with Asher to start the day. The arena is. Typical Tron design with two
