X-Site • Laser tag
The X-site offers you a large room with black lights, trenches and barricades. You are armed with an electronic gun, and adorned with a vest that has lighted electronic sensory target marks. The war begins.
Cohorts are formed, alliances are made and what is reminiscent of “Star Wars” ensues. You shoot laser beams with an aim to score battle points, outdo your opponents and live your sci-fi fantasy. You hit or get hit. When you are hit, your vest vibrates; however, the code of laser-tag ethics forbids merciless assault, so you have time to seek refuge. These battles sometimes involve 40-persons, and three games can be played in an hour. On Thursday nights, X-site has their college nights; and with $10 and your student ID, you might as well become the “Duchess of Mandalore.” Located near the Castleton Mall, X-site offers a variety of fun games: $18 for three hours of surrealism.
