Laser Tag of Clinton Township

Laser Edge used to be the best laser tag around but we went recently and noticed they were playing Jesus music and there were far more staff there than I had ever seen before. It was odd. A couple weeks after we had gone, I saw a news report about the owner being a cult member. They recruit young people by becoming friendly with them, seemingly innocent at first. I don’t recommend allowing your kids here without an adult. Better yet, don’t go here at all.

This place is very strange, I used to come here all the time but after visiting last week I can clearly say something is much different. It used to be a place that was fun to hang out with really nice people and get some excerise playing laser tag. But now all the staff is different and they place some very strange jesus themed music.
The actual venue is still pretty cool with a killer lay out, but they have so many rules that they enforce, it really takes away from enjoying the game.
After looking at the other reviews, I clicked on the not recommended ones and saw that this place was apparently bought out by some weird guy who was accused of running a cult, so that seems to explain it.
In typical Unilocal fashion, all those reviews were chosen not to be shown. I would be wary if I had kids about letting them hang out here.

By far this is the best laser tag and arcade experience I have had. The laser tag arena is huge and is great for normal tag (walking around shooting everything that blinks) and is also awesome for specialty games, which are more complex. The staff is great at teaching and explaining the more involved games like space marines, capture the flag, and zombies. They also have a league night for space marines every Sunday to help interested people learn to play! They have a great arcade with lots of different kinds of games. Their redemption center is the best I’ve seen anywhere. They have x box 1 and PS4 available for tickets and so many more awesome prizes. But my favorite part of the arcade is the classic games section. They have mortal kombat 1,2, and 3, nba jam, and a bunch of older games from the 80’s, brings back my childhood. If you are looking for a family friendly place to bring the kids, or a place to play some real serious laser tag, then you have to check this place out!

This place was pretty awesome. I enjoyed everything about it and playing with random people was amazing. The costumer services was great, and I thought it was really cool that at the time they had a over night laser tag games going on. I hope to soon go there again.

Very friendly staff. Excellent service. Clean establishment. Safe for kids. All equipment works. Great for parties.

This place is awesome. The people are awesome, there are new games and a HUGE new redemption center with Xbox ones, PS4’s, nerf guns, giant teddy bears, and more. The arena is getting a major face-​lift as well and they ordered a whole new set of brand new packs! You gotta check it out… The people who work here are so friendly and they enjoy playing with the public whether it’s arcade games or laser tag! What a fun place!

Our Youth group goes here for frequent outings & especially our All Nighter yearly
The owner [Dave] is a solid Christian Man, who goes above & beyond to accommodate groups & has multiple opportunities for work parties/​retreats, outings & fundraisers

I haven’t been here since 2007, so I might be a little off…
Let’s start with the facility itself. Big.
The waiting area has a nice selection of arcade games and a few skill games. They aren’t all of the latest and greatest, but you won’t be forced to play Lethal Enforcer or Tekken 3. Good games here for the whole family and a well-​kept Air-​Hockey table which is a staple for any rec place.
There does seem to be a lot of wasted space, though. A huge area by the bathrooms is just full of un-​used tables and chairs, coat racks (which no one seems to use) and other… stuff. I always thought the owner could have used this as sort of a lounge area, but I’m not the owner, now am I?
There are also private rooms (2, I think) where parties can go and… well, be private. I’ve used these twice and they are plenty big, bright, clean, and the staff won’t forget you’re in there! Its nice to have your own spot where you don’t have to be bothered by other little kids and stuff.
The bathrooms are always decently clean. Never found any ‘special surprises’ or had to hold my breath because of any smells.
As many times as i’ve been there, I’ve never ordered food. They have a menu posted behind the counter, but I don’t there is a kitchen anywhere in there. I believe that they will order pizza from like Little Caesar’s or something if you’re having a private party. There IS plenty of non-​expired candy in the display case, though.
The most important part of the building is the arena itself. This one is a perfect size. Its not so huge that you will get lost and never be able to find anyone to tag. And its not so small that you can’t get away from heavy fire. It offers a nice ‘tower’ to snipe from, ‘windows’ to snipe from, numerous hiding spots (if you know how to find them), some well-​placed base-​targets, a ramp, and its plenty dark. There is your usual techno stuff playing over the speakers and it honestly adds to the intensity of the game. There used to be a ‘robot’ that fires back on you if you get to close to it, but I think that’s gone now.
The lazer guns are decent quality. They don’t show your name and stats, and they only have one button to push-​the trigger. Simple. Nothing fancy. However, I’ve had a few of them malfunction on me, leaving me wandering around shouting for the staff. They’ll just stop working for whatever reason. They are decently accurate, though. The packs aren’t heavy at all, and the targets on them seem to respond correctly. The usual upgrades like rapid fire, bombs and all that kind of stuff applies.
The place offers memberships for like $ 20 or something, which is a great price even if you only play every once in a while. It also comes with 2 free games! I believe its $ 7 a person for single games and I don’t remember any kind of 2 games for ??? prices.
Wait time for a game depends on how many people are there… no different than any lazer tag place. AND, if its a REALLY slow night, Dave (the owner) will let you go in with just you and your buddies. He’s done this for me a few times, and it was just me and one other person. He turned the music off and all the lights, and actually taped our game. It was all kinds of fun on levels that need not be mentioned.
That brings me to my next point… Dave, the owner. This guy is totally laid back, and will treat you right. He doesn’t tolerate destructive people in his facility, and that results in a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Also, he is very personable. He’ll remember your name after a few visits. This is key to me in whether or not I’ll come back to a place again and again. And if something ain’t right, he’ll make it right…
Overall, this place is kind of off in the cut and can be easily missed… which is why I think he doesn’t do as much business as he would like to. However, if you take a chance on a Friday or Saturday night, you won’t be disappointed. Like I said, they aren’t as high-​tech as the Laser Quest down the street from it, but they have add a more personal touch to your experience, and the arcade here blows the other guys’ out the water.
