Official announcement time!
Laser Tag Player Set to Complete 50 State Journey on International Laser
Tag Day Will Be Joined By Laser Tag Inventor on the 35th Anniversary
of the Game
Laser tag history will be made in Texas on
the 35th anniversary of the day the game debuted in the Dallas area. Laurie
Jean Britton, a laser tag enthusiast and blogger from upstate New York, will
complete her quest to play laser tag in all 50 states while being joined
by laser tag inventor George Carter III when she visits Laser Quest of North
Richland Hills, TX for a celebration on March 28th. Britton's completion of
this goal is planned to take place on International Laser Tag Day, which also
marks the 35th anniversary of the start of the laser tag industry. Laser Tag
Day commemorates the beginning of the first laser tag, Photon, which was
created by Dallas inventor George Carter III and opened its first site in the
Dallas area on March 28, 1984. Carter is considered to be the founder of the
laser tag industry and will be a special guest in attendance at the event. To
celebrate, a special night of laser tag will be held at Laser Quest North
Richland Hills (located at 7601 Boulevard 26 #111, N. Richland Hills, TX) which
will be open to the public and include refreshments, $5 laser tag games and a
special presentation. Reservations are recommended, so please call Laser Quest
North Richland Hills at 817-281-0360.
Britton is expected to be the first person to
accomplish the goal of playing laser tag in all 50 states while documenting the
five year journey in photos and stories on her blog, www.tiviachickloveslasertag.com. According to Erik
Guthrie, curator of the Laser Tag Museum, "In researching our vast
archives, the staff of the Laser Tag Museum could not find any records in the
past 35 years of anyone making such a claim. Therefore, the Laser Tag Museum
can confidently state that when Laurie Jean Britton plays laser tag in Texas
then she would be the first person ever to play laser tag in all 50 states of
the United States of America."
Laser Quest North Richland Hills, will host
this evening of laser tag games from 5:00-9:00 on Thursday, March 28th
including the game that will officially mark Texas as the final state played on
Britton's journey laser tagging across America. Laser Quest is a family
entertainment venue combining the classic games of hide-and-seek and tag with a
