The Last Stand Laser Tag has officially opened its doors at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, US.
Opened on August 16, the new space offers an opportunity for members of the base to bond with their families, as well as build morale in the group and engage in team-building activities with their colleagues.
The new facility offers a unique zombie apocalypse experience and features state-of-the-art equipment, including advanced laser guns and a variety of game modes.
“The opening of our new laser tag facility represents a significant milestone here at Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex, and another step in providing more resiliency platforms for Airmen and their families,” said major Kevin Slaughter Jr, 42nd Force Support Squadron commander.
The idea for the facility began in November 2022, with a vision to bring an immersive and fun activity for Airmen and their families to enjoy.
The team behind the facility created a realistic post-apocalyptic themed experience by recycling and repurposing materials in an innovative way. For instance, the wooden structures were crafted from reclaimed furniture from previous Air Force lodging updates, and the sound system and other materials were repurposed from across the base.
Ian Mangum, FSS exhibit specialist described this as a passion project and something that he hopes everyone can enjoy and dive into. “Airmen and their families are accustomed to a certain level of detail and immersion. I hope that this goes above and beyond what they expect. It’s not some pallets screwed together. It’s a full-fledged environment that they can fully immerse themselves in and become a part of,” he said.
