Let's buy one and convert the entire building into one giant laser tag arena.

Can part of it be skatepark laser tag?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah that's on the 2 levels below the Blade vampire nightclub Laser tag floor, above the bouncy castle kingdom.

It's be more useful to turn it into an apartment complex, but way more fun to turn it into a giant laser tag arena

[–] Witchfire 5 points 11 months ago

We can compromise and do both. It's definitely big enough for both.

We'll just buy the building next door and turn that into apartments.

I can't say for this specific building but sadly for many office buildings it would be cheaper to knock them down and build an apartment building than convert them. I know it is dumb but true.

I'm riding the high of my hometown converting an ol office building that is a historical part of our skyline into a shopping center on the bottom floors and apartments above it.

I get that this isn't always feasible but I'm feeling optimistic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's awesome!

I’d live in a place with laser tag downstairs, the profits go toward upkeep.

Just keep two levels of storage between to buffer the sound.

Or a giant indoor maze that takes multiple days to finish. Elevator to the top, pack in a backpack or supplies. Complete challenges for coins that can be used at 'trading posts' or too unlock levels. Have trick stairwells and stuff, levels that dead end where you have to go back up and find amother way down.

imagine the maintenance costs, staffing, pee in corners, insurance policies, people freaking out, fighting, etc
