its fun to go with a group of friends to play. I've been here 3 times and the times we went there were a lot of kids there but hey its laser tag! The last time we went though there were people in there that were pro's they would camp in the corners and know exactly when you were coming around that corner to get you! I liked it a lot. YES you get to make up yoru own nicknames and after they have a score board so you can see where you place so it was fun.
