I called ahead and talked with manager Kadrian who hooked
me up with an awesome souvenir that is apparently normally reserved for the
staff (but they ordered a few too many, which worked to my benefit).
We chatted a bit about where I had been traveling and how
my end goal is hopefully going to land me at a Laser Quest in Texas, for which
she gave me some great feedback and a contact person’s name while
simultaneously making sure I was properly registered for LQ Arena. I’m very
appreciative of her interest and support. I’m also really glad that she gave a
couple of her staff members permission to do something they aren’t usually able
to do…play hard against a customer. :)
Rather than go in with the kids party that was already at
the site (I’m no birthday basher) I instead got to play a smaller, but way
better game against marshalls Caffyqueen asnd Drumstyk. While vesting up Caffy
asked me if I was an employee of Quest. That was the only thing she could
figure because they would normally not be allowed to play full out, yet had
been given the go ahead to do so with me. I said no, that I just play a lot of
laser tag and we went in for a game that was quite good considering the small
group. I give kudos to them both. I was holding the lead until the final couple
of minutes where Drumstyk and I flip-flopped shots a couple of times. The final
score was really close and came down to just one shot (in his favor), but let
me tell you I didn’t mind at all because that was what made it a lot of fun!
Thank you for giving me a good game!
This was a memorable experience at Laser Quest Tulsa.
I had decided a short time later that I was going to head
to Oklahoma City (see my last blog entry for more on that) and there was really
only one shot for me to get in a game at the OKC Laser Quest between my other
tag visits in the area. I had called ahead and been told there was a group of
people confirmed for a game at 5:40, but no other reservations for the rest of
the evening (as this was a Sunday and they would be closing shortly after
that). Well, I drove into the parking lot at 5:42 and ran into the center
asking if I could still get into the 5:40 game. The game masters sent me right
in as the game had only just begun and I took as few people by surprise as this
was a team game and I seemingly appeared out of nowhere. :)
This location was very cool and a little different from
some of the other Laser Quests I have been to. This arena had a space crater
theme and a distinctive look. Where I expected to find towers I instead
discovered unusual nooks and crannies as a meandered through the fog. It was a
smaller game with only eight players divided into two teams. When we exited the
arena the green team noted that my score was higher than the total of their
team, so I guess I didn’t lose much by entering the game late. I am
appreciative that I got to play with this group and check out this arena before
the afternoon was over. I am also glad that I got to take home a slightly more
vintage magnet from this site. Boy, I wish I had been collecting these sooner!
So two Laser Quests in Oklahoma made for one really great
afternoon in the sooner state. Lots of fun for sure!
