I have been to Stratum on multiple occasions with groups of friends or school groups. Stratum is a very overrated laser tag facility with numerous problems. Here are some of the main issues i have come across:
-The maze is gigantic. This may seem like a plus at first, however, on normal operating days there are not enough people to fill the maze. It is very common to get lost and just wander around without finding anyone to tag since the arena is so large
-Heat sensors on the guns. On each gun there is a heat sensor on the bottom that you must be in contact with for the gun to fire. This is meant as a safety precaution must problems arise with it. First off it can be irritatingly difficult to keep it active, making firing the gun inconsistent. And second, the biggest issue with it, a way to override the sensor is to put chewing gum on it to keep it warm. The result of this is that there is CHEWING GUM ON A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE GUNS. VERY GROSS! No one wants to be touching another persons chewing gum while playing.
-Bad quality pizza. Just a heads up
-Price. This facility does cost more than other competitors in the area. Check prices before you go and see what other facilities are offering.
-Cheating. At least at the time I was there, there were people who figured out that it is possible to shoot the vests that were still hanging in the vesting room and still gain points, giving them a large advantage as far as ranking goes. You would expect that Stratum would fix this issue, but it was still present the next time I visited as well. Not cool!
These are the main complaints I have with this facility. Check your options and find a different place to experience laser tag, there are others far superior to Stratum.
