Chicago, IL - Sept. 27, 2018 - iCombat, a tactical laser tag company geared towards adults, is hosting their 2nd annual Prison Purge Laser Tag event this October for those who want a Halloween scare where they can fight back.
Though the government won't confirm it, an army of inmates has escaped the maximum security prison and taken over Alcatraz in Schiller Park so iCOMBAT Chicago is recruiting citizen-soldier sweep teams to prowl through the cells and passageways of the darkened two-story prison to defeat the escaped prisoners and retake the facility.
"We need your help now to defeat the escaped prisoners and retake Alcatraz," said Rick Jensen, President of iCOMBAT. "With an army of unrelenting murderous inmates disrupting the intense laser tag action in our two-story prison facility, we can guarantee this Halloween experience will be somewhere between heart-pounding scary and laugh out loud fun."
The technology wizards at iCOMBAT have invented a new system that allows real-life actors in prison attire to "attack" two sweep teams of tactical laser tag players. If a prisoner emerges from the abandoned cells and passageways in the darkened prison and can get within five feet of a player, the player will be dead. The players can only stop the prisoner's advances temporarily by shooting them - but a few seconds later the prisoner will begin their attacks again. All of this action occurs during the usual tactical laser tag battles between two teams of players on a Hollywood style movie set of Alcatraz, a government prison facility.
"Last year, hundreds of citizen-soldiers joined the fight to end the prison purge at iCOMBAT Chicago," said Jensen. "Demand is always high but these special Halloween sessions are limited so I suggest you grab your spot now as reservations are open."
The special Prison Purge sessions at iCOMBAT Chicago will be featured on Friday and Saturday evenings from October 19th to October 27th, beginning after 5pm on Fridays and 3pm on Saturdays. The sessions will be 60 minutes long and cost $30. Reservations are encouraged and can be made at chicago.icombat.com, or by calling 855-454-4426. Due to the intense action, players must 13 years or older.
iCOMBAT's patented technology is so realistic that it is used for training by SWAT teams and Special Forces units around the world. The 16,000 square foot iCOMBAT Chicago facility contains a playing field modeled after an abandoned prison. It features guard towers, prison cells, and a broken down prison bus in a two-story facility with a 27, 000 watt sound system. Participants will hear helicopters hovering overhead during an action-packed session with multiple missions. Scores and live footage of the missions will also be shown in the lobby on large television screens.
iCOMBAT Chicago is located at 5050 N. River Road, Schiller Park, IL 60176 near the Rosemont Convention Center. More information about iCOMBAT can be found on their Facebook page or on their website Chicago.icombat.com.
Last year, more than 250,000 people joined in the fight using iCOMBAT's Apocalypse technology at dozens of facilities around the world.
