Homecoming laser tag proves huge hit for students

Andy Martin, senior of Mobile, Alabama, organized the Laser Tag game “Going on a Bear Hunt” from 6-11 p.m., Tuesday in the NPAC Arena.

“I thought that it could be very good to go with a theme to Homecoming ‘Going on a Bear Hunt,’” Martin said. He said that he wanted to give something for campus. Also, he noticed that CSC had never had events like this before.

Entering the NPAC, students could see a fenced area with 15 bunkers and bear figures around the perimeter.

The rules of the game are simple. Martin said that 16 players can play a 10-minute game. Each player has five lives. The guns have lasers, which control the amount of shots, so when the player is shot for the fifth time, it means that the game is over for this player.

All students who came to the NPAC Tuesday night were enjoying their evening.

Zach West, senior of Ordway, Colorado, said he would love to play again. After the game all students were excited. The players said that it was terrific, but they said they wanted to have more hiding places. Despite the lack of obstacles the event was well organized, and many visitors didn’t want to leave, waiting in line for another battle.

Around 240 students came to the Laser Tag game “Going on a Bear Hunt.” The questionnaire showed students like the event and they want to repeat it in the future.
