Do you
want to feel like you are part of a team? Do you want to get a good work out
AND have fun? Do you want to spice up your typical Friday night date? If you
answered yes to any of those questions you should try Laser Tag! Now I’m not
talking about the normal laser tag that typically come to mind, here in Chicago
there is a new and improved way to enjoy a game of Laser Tag! At CMP Tactical Lazer Tag you’ll feel like you
are in a real life “Call of Duty” video game.
CMP has three locations in the Chicago area, Lake Geneva, Milwaukee, and
Frankfort.
My wife
and I tried out Frankfort location. It’s located in a warehouse that they have
transformed to look like a small town. The staff were incredibly helpful and
gave us the run down of the safety protocol and rules as well as some tips how
to use the equipment.
For the
duration of the evening you are placed in teams and given specific instructions
about how to win the game. We got to play 3 games; Search and Destroy,
Sabotage, and Heist. In Search and Destroy you have to place a bomb in a target
while the other team defends it. In Sabotage
one team has to protect a box while the other team tries to destroy it. In my
personal favorite, Heist, one team has to open a safe with fake money inside
and put the money in a duffle bag and then take it to the other side of the map
where the getaway Jeep is waiting. During the Heist round I had to sacrifice my
life so that one of my teammates could get the bag into the Jeep.
Over
all I think this is a great date night idea, everyone had a lot of fun! We felt
like we had really accomplished something that evening. We replayed the different situations we found
ourselves in over and over and we know we will do better next time! The cost is
about as much as you’d spend at a movie after you’ve phttp://www.cmptactical.com/urchased snacks, $30
dollars per person for the hour and a half session. They also have some deals
and discounts for students, late night session discounts, large group and
ladies nights. Try it out, you wont regret it!
