Making a Run for Runner

Following a beautiful morning in the Poconos that started with a trip to a Harry Potter themed coffee cafe and a train ride through the Lehigh Gorge, we stopped to run around and play Runner at Costa’s Family Fun Park in Hawley, PA.

This is a cute little amusement site with a huge menu in the concession area! Not usually the first thing I’d notice, except I found my way into the food building first, then we headed over to the side building next to it that housed the laser tag. Note to self…read the signs, lol!



I bought the game tickets and we proceeded into the building.



Inside we vested up for a 1v1 game of Lazer Runner using what appeared to be nicely maintained, new gear. The game played incredibly smoothly. I really liked the new style of phaser, which makes a BIG difference and is very comfortable to use (in comparison to my more recent experiences with the older-style phaser)




Inside the arena was a standard looking LR set-up with two bases and a center sentry target.





The space really maximized the use of a smaller footprint and felt like a larger space than what it was. However, I did locate a spot where sight-lines allowed me to keep rotating through the sentry, a base and my opponent all without moving. I don’t like to play that way, but I do like to identify the sweet spot.



I probably played a bit harder than was necessary for this game, but I was really getting into it. At the end we were handed scorecards, which was notable because I cannot actually recall ever receiving a printed card for Runner before. That’s the only reason this one goes in my permanent collection.



We finished the visit with a return to the snack counter for some ice cream, having enjoyed a fun experience continuing the tag trek through the Poconos. :)
