Just. No. There were 3 MAJOR problems with our visit.
1) The management at Scallywags needs to grow up. Someone sprayed a fire extinguisher in the laser tag area during the previous session. First a staff member then the MANAGER came into the prep area and demanded to know who did it. Her tone was so accusatory it made everyone feel incredibly uncomfortable. One large group had enough and got up and left. Then she announced she was closing the upstairs section "for safety reasons" but turned to the Staff member and told him "since they went tell me who did it we'll close that section until they do". Since that still didn't work, she decided we would play with the lights on. Really? LASER TAG in a well lit room? Ummm, no. Time to leave. We were 4 of the last eight, so game over.
2). The space was way too big for the 12 people usually playing. Sometimes I spent half my time wondering where everyone went.
3) Racism? While I hate using that word too loosely, it sure did feel like that. There weren't that many people there so we called a couple of friends to join us. When they went to pay the vibe from the Manager was just way off and she told them the unlimited play tickets were "sold out" (our friends are latinos). Weird since there weren't that many people there, but OK. Then when the large group got insulted and left, I realized it was just us and a black family ... they didn't get the cheaper, unlimited price either .... hmmmm.
