At Jamie's suggestion I detoured to check out an arena at
Monster Mini Golf in Parkville, MD. I probbly wouldn't have thought to stop
here because I would have perceived it to be more about the golf, but this was
a really cool location that is thoroughly immersed in black lights! This makes
the aesthetic of their arena particularly attractive with dayglow colors and artwork
to match their nuclear fallout theme.
From the party room you can see everything that is
happening inside the arena.
And I looked forward to the chance to play this arena
using Helios packs.
Before going in we watched the standard briefing video
and I found it really amusing that in this atmosphere where there were monsters
painted on every wall one of the little kids looked at the cartoon girl in the
video and commented "that's creepy." LOL!
However, the group I was sent in with was a family of
young kids (which was the ideal group for this space) and I was NOT going to go
in shooting at kids. So instead I adopted a different strategy.
I decided not to shoot at the players at all and only to
shoot at the bases and gems scattered throughout the arena. That way I get to
enjoy the arena without becoming the monster under the black lights!
And this is where something interesting occurred. When we
came out I had to laugh because I had won the game, but I did it by shooting
the LEAST number of players possible! And when they handed me 25 arcade tickets
for coming in first I gave them to the dad so the kids could have more fun.
Meanwhile I took home some more tag swag before continuing along.
