The black inflatable structure installed on the square of Place Charles-de-Gaulle does not go unnoticed. Passers-by are questioning. The mystery is quickly resolved by Samuel Robert, head of Laser game evolution in Fontaine-le-Comte. He explains to the curious that it is a laser game and above all that the games are free. At the foot of the Notre-Dame-la-Grande church, the proposition is truly out of the ordinary.
Everything is designed to use as little electricity as possible. Installation requires only a regular power outlet

The play area, which extends over 150 m2 on the ground, can be assembled and disassembled in less than two hours by a single person. Foldable tubes and a large blower give shape to the structure. “Everything is designed to use as little electricity as possible. Overall, the system consumes less than 2,000 W per day. I can therefore transport the whole thing in a trailer and everywhere in France. Installation requires only a regular power outlet. »

The interior forms a labyrinth from which we inevitably emerge unscathed. “My youngest players are 6, 7 years old, my oldest is 91 years old”slips Samuel Robert mischievously. Light, smoke and music spice up the game, the games of which do not exceed ten minutes.
Harnessed with a connected vest on which light targets flash and equipped with a laser gun, the players of the day were able to compete in complete safety but not without a sound. The screams burst forth, the laughter too when Buliboxi, Frognito, Jpmarlo86, Orojaxson and Xx2-Jeanfeu86 confront each other with a certain conviction.
The group of teenagers take advantage of the free admission, a boon they did not expect. Once engulfed in the structure, the group disperses and the respective scores under their pseudonyms are displayed live on a computer outside.
“Ten people can play simultaneously. Often, I take small groups; people know each other. They can play together, it's good for them. »
Little by little, the public approaches. And stands in the queue. A young girl inquires before blurting out: “It’s really stylish!” »
