Scallywag Tag — Local services in Green Township

We went here for a fun family adventure with family from out of town that we rarely get to see. We had 3 adults and 3 kids under the age of 6. We bought 2 games for each player. One game of laser tag, and one game of mini golf- Roughly $85. While waiting for our laser tag game to start we went to order some popcorn, and they were out. It wasn’t the cleanest, food and trash all over the floor when you first walk in.

We first went into laser tag. Our laser tag game included 28 people.They start off by giving a presentation of how to use the equipment, which is a great idea however when the guy came in to give the presentation he did not make anyone be quite and rushed through the presentation at a very high speed and talked very quietly. When we went in to get our vests on, (all 28 players in one room) it was so crowded you couldn’t get around anyone. As soon as we entered the room to get our vests on the game had already started. We grabbed our vests and 2 out of 6 were broken. We mentioned this to the worker and he did nothing about it and said we had to use the broken vests. By the time we got in the arena we only had about 17 minutes left to play. It is not the easiest to run around a very crowded arena with a child and a broken vest. We were basically getting ran over inside the arena because of how many players there were. When mentioned to the worker at the front desk at the end of the game he said “oh you should have mentioned this to me before you started the game”. But the game was already started.

After laser tag we went into mini golf, we did enjoy that it was glow lights. However there was trash all over inside. Our daughter is learning to read and there were vulgar things written all over inside on some of the artwork. She kept trying to read them and we had to divert her attention multiple times. We came on a Saturday night around 9:20. We left quite disappointed in the whole experience, especially the kids. Probably would not come back here, nor...

A very nice place to take the family. There is an arcade with a good variety of video games + skill games like skee-ball. The laser tag section is pretty big, but could get crowded quickly depending on how busy it is, but you reserve times to play, so they can control that. There's also a viewing area upstairs so you can watch people playing. You can't see the entire arena, but you'll see your kids or friends you're with go by every once in a while. The laser tag arena has multiple levels and plenty of obstacles to hide behind for ambush or just to catch your breath when all your kids decide to gang up on you and chase you all over the place. :-) The indoor "blacklight" mini-golf course is the highlight for me. I've been to several of these, and this one has the best artwork I've seen anywhere. The statues and mixed-media effects make for an immersive experience, and the golf course is pretty good too. It's challenging enough that the adults weren't bored but even the little kids (we had one with us that just turned 6 years old) were able to make low scores on some holes and not get too frustrated.

It was pretty slow the night we were there, and while it was good to not have to rush the kids through the mini-golf, the laser tag would have been more fun with more people. Hopefully they'll still be around once people start getting out more post-pandemic, because this everyone really had a lot of fun here and we look forward...

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.
2. 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...
