When I walked into the Laser Quest in Wyomissing, PA my
first thought was that if I could play a one on one with an employee here it
might be good practice for the tri-tag tournament next week. I approached the
counter and the manager Mike commented that I looked like I really wanted to
play some laser tag. LOL...if he only knew! At this point I was only one
location away from my 70th arena so it was true that I wanted to play, but probably
not for reasons he would have guessed. :)
Game master Gabriel and I went into the briefing room. I
was the only one there at that moment. He started the instructional speech. I
interrupted to let him know that I was familiar with Laser Quest and all the
rules. He said he had to go through it anyway, but we could just skip ahead to
the pledge. yep...recited it with gusto this time around!
We went into the arena. Now, here's the thing about Quest
arenas. Most of them are all pretty much the same...and they are usually decent
sized. This was no exception. In tournament play the competition is often pretty
much isolated to one tower area if you want to be in close proximity to the
other players. That would have been a good thing to address before our one on
one, but I figured it would naturally happen. Instead, Gabriel headed off in
one direction and I spent the first several minutes of the game just walking
around trying to figure out where he went! When we found each other I thought that
would be the point where we'd start dogfighting the game. However, instead he left again, so this was the most unusual
game of Quest I have ever played because the majority of the game was spent
searching instead of shooting! :) Still a great time, even though we both ended
up with really silly scores as a result.
After the game I chatted with them about the competitive
scene and enjoyed the conversation. I also really enjoyed the time to explore
their arena. It's a great center that has plenty to offer and I hope if I pass
by Wyomissing that I can stop by and play again sometime.
