You may ask why I drove 7 1/2 hours in order to play 7
1/2 minutes of Lazer Runner. I think I have an excellent reason...to check off
Delaware as the 20th state where I have played laser tag!
Now, this was no easy feat because it is a bit out of the
way (simply as far as my travel plans go, it was a detour). It was also a
challenge because there is almost nowhere in the state to play laser tag, even
in spite of being the state where the Zone laser tag home offices are located.
However, I was excited to learn that I could play a round at the Family Fun
Galaxy, an arcade and entertainment center attached to the Mid-County Lanes in
Middletown, DE. It was not a very big or flashy arena, but the staff there were
cool. I went in as part of a group of three, which was probably an appropriate
size group for this location. They had seemingly never played before, so it was
not a round to push it, but fun to play nonetheless.
The staff here were really cool and when I asked the game
master to take a photo outside the Runner arch I mentioned that this was my
20th state.
He must have shared that because as I was leaving the
girl behind the counter, Logan, caught up with me in the parking lot and told
me she thought what I was doing was cool and wanted to call her manager to try
to connect me with a t-shirt (which they don't generally offer to the public).
That was so great of her to do, especially since you know I collect my tag
swag!
So I left Family Fun Galaxy feeling like that trip was
totally worth the detour...and now I have the t-shirt to prove it and a claim
to having now played laser tag in my 20th state!
