Laser Legend

Attention: open in a new window.

Laser Legend offers top-of-the-line equipment, a range of configurable spaces, pizza and other snacks, for kids and kids at heart in this one-of-a-kind gaming arena.

Jason Overman and his family have always enjoyed the game of laser tag. For them, it is a way to bond, work as a team for a common goal, and come out with huge smiles. A former Air Force pilot with an entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. Overman contacted Senior Certified Business Advisor Tom Hansis in May 2009 for help in starting a family-friendly indoor play venue featuring his favorite game. With Tom’s help, Mr. Overman created a business plan, market analysis, and financial projections for a laser tag and video game business on San Antonio’s fast-growing northeast side.
