Of all the things I did not expect to happen today, playing laser tag with characters from a video game would have to be the least expected!
When I arrived at Adventure Landing in Dallas and purchased my game ticket I had been told to just wait by the Lazer Runner gate until there were other players ready to go in. So I did.
As I’m standing there I become aware of two more people joining me in line, waiting for the next game. They look…familiar! ;) Next to me stand Luigi and Pauline (I have no idea what their real names are, but they were delightful people!) and they are ready for some laser tag as well. A short time later we are joined by Bowser. Is this really happening?!
Here’s the scoop. These awesome folks were the family members of a young boy having his birthday party at this amusement center and his special request was to be joined by the characters from his favorite video game. So all the adults accommodated and attended in character cosplay. I even saw Princess Daisy milling around at one point too. How cool is that?!
Well, this is a once in a lifetime chance occurrence, so I asked if we could take a photo wearing our Lazer Runer packs. I suspect Paul Savard (president of Lazer Runner) will be a bit surprised to see that this actually happened!
One of my favorite moments of the day was capturing this impromptu pic mid-game while tagging with Luigi. This was too much fun!
The game was a wonderful time and, although the maze was small, it made for an enjoyable experience as five of us meandered through the classic green and orange LR arena.
My biggest takeaway from this stop was not about the laser tag itself, but how lucky that birthday boy is to be surrounded by such a cool family to go out of their way to dress up like this to celebrate his special day. I’m just glad I got to experience some of the fun with them. After all, I don’t know anyone else who can say they got to play laser tag with Luigi! :)
