Aladdin's Bankshot Basketball
Did you know that this family sport originated in Israel and this is
becoming a very popular sport in the United States. The game requires
players to shoot at 19 different stations using conventional basketballs
and backboards with a number of opportunities to make each goal. Each
station requires its own shooting strategy, with each player shooting up to
5 times per station. The game is similar in concept to a miniature golf
course and can be played by both young and old alike. Here is your chance to
show the little ones how to play basketball from a strategy perspective
without worrying about what old father time has to say about it.
Games are $3 per game. Call 843-272-0952 for best times to play.
Great fun for all ages!
Beamers
If a high-tech futuristic interpretation of "Tag, you're out!" is your
game, then this laser tag game may be for you. Armed with your wits and
a laser gun, you compete with 2 to 60 other participants trying to
dodge and zap each other in over 5,000 square feet of black-lit
illuminated playing areas. The strategy here is to make it to the
"enemy" line without being hit. Glow in the dark shields and your
cunning provide your only protection in this game. Dress comfortably with
rubber-soled shoes and enjoy this real life science fiction thriller.
Games are 20 minutes long and are priced at $6.50 per person.
