Laser Tag

A picture from the website of the St. George location.

Last weekend me, my sister, and two of our friends went to laser mania to play two games of laser-tag. Laser-tag is about 3 teams (or 2 depending on how many people there are) who aim to shoot the enemies in the glowing parts of their vests, while avoiding being shot yourself. Each team has a "base" on the lower level that can be destroyed for major points. My friend Daniel acted as a squad leader of sorts, we moved as a group and worked together. It was overall a very enjoyable experience, although I do have some complaints.

The first issue is every team starts from the same place, so there's nothing stopping players from shooting each other before the round really begins. In the second game the red team won, and I'm almost positive it was because lots of people on that team were doing it. The biggest problem though is how hot it is in the battleground, and considering how much you're moving around you can easily tire yourself out. To make matters worse, you also have that bulky vest which adds to the problem. When it was over and arrived at home, I was so exhausted that I took a long nap. Though I'm not really complaining about that, because I really needed a rest that day.
