After selling his previous business, owner Thomas Maione was searching for a
new project to take on. He wanted to create a place in Austin for high-tech fun and adventure where
families could play together - and where kids would have an equal chance
against their parents! Since Thomas was already a fan of laser tag, opening a
laser tag facility seemed to be the perfect choice!
He, his wife Diana, and a couple of partners opened Blazer Tag Adventure Center in February 1999 in the former
Southwood Theatre. Since then, Thomas has continued improving the facility
with additions like a redemption prize counter, new video games, new bridges
in the arena, and currently a new second level lookout lobby with 3 new second level party rooms - all to keep the
experience fresh and exciting. He's also hired and trained an outstanding
staff to be knowledgeable and courteous and do whatever it takes to make each
visit to Blazer Tag a memorable one! His and the staff's goal is to continue to improve the facility and the quality of
service for our visitors!
 And in 2003, Blazer Tag was awarded the
honor of "BEST
PARTY PLACE" by Austin Chronicle readers! Thanks to all our
loyal customers who noticed our efforts and voted for us!
