Lazer Tag in Fayetteville, North Carolina - Not Just for Kids

After zooming past my mid-20's and after bearing, caring for, and chasing several offspring, I tend to gravitate towards activities that make me feel young and active. It provides a good break from a life filled with what seems like endless diapers, dirty dishes and mountains of laundry. My husband and I discovered Lazer Tag amidst a throng of restaurants lined up along McPherson Church Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I had played a few games of laser tag during my high school years and vividly remembered how much fun it was.

For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of laser tag. It is an assault-type game where players are divided up into two opposing teams. Each player dons a lighted vest which has a gun attached to it. The vest is dotted with laser sensors mainly on the shoulders, chest and back. Colored flashing lights indicate where you shoot your opponent and each gun takes score depending on how many of your shots connect. Vests deactivate after a few seconds of impact, rendering the "wounded" helpless because their guns shuts off along with the vest. Most laser tag locations are spacious, dark and have walls to hide behind. The main "mission" is to hit as many opponents as you can, deactivate their base and accumulate the maximum amount of points.
