I was hoping you guys could help me figure something out. If you guys have a second could you try to search on Facebook for "PartyXtreme"? I'm trying to see it it is search able, it looks like it is from my end, but facebook claims that business' can not be searched for. I'd appreciate any info, thanks, -Radar

I just searched Facebook and didn't see it. PARTY XTREME showed up, which is something in India, and Parkxtreme Worldxtreme which is a person's profile.

Now I can see two different things pop up for your "PartyXtreme"
One looks like a regular group that anyone can join and the other is a business page that anyone can become a fan of. Maybe the business page just took a while to get into the system?

Perhaps, ...wow that feels good being done.
Thanks for the info. I would have felt funny putting "find us on Facebook" on my business cards when people could not find us on facebook.
Weird it took so long to get the business search functioning. It seems like I had it there for a week or so.
Anyway, thanks again.

I was wondering if anybody has any constructive criticism of my website. If you want, thanks. www.PartyXtreme.com

The logo at the top looks a bit fuzzy.... But thats pretty minor, right?
That look so freakin cool. Prior to you, I have never even heard of a mobile laser tag service.... That looks so fun!
Is it keeping you busy? I really hope this turns out to be a huge thing for you.

It's really slow starting up and building a customer base. Every time I do an event, one or two people seem to be really interested in having a party with me, but if they are still interested by the time they have a birthday is sometimes another situation. I have big aspirations, but ...I am patient for it.

Site looks good so far, I'm guessing that front page image is just stretched bigger than it ought to be or is a blown up version of a smaller image.
I like what's there but I think you could have a lot more information. What exactly is laser tag? I know many younger people know, but if my kid told me to check this out, I don't think I'd learn a whole lot as a parent. How does the equipment work? What all is involved? On one particular page you list eliminator, protect the captain, free for all... what do those mean? Also, could you include quotes from any previous customers? Or even just someone that really loves to play laser tag that could tell me what's so great about it?

The soft logo would be good to replace with a clean, perhaps smaller one. Also be careful, having the email typed out in text will tend to result in getting picked up by spam-bots. One workaround is to make it an .gif instead.
Its a fun business, hope it works out well.

Okay, I'm thinking about expanding a little bit, but just a little bit.
Originally, I was thinking I'd love to do Sumo Suits, Bungee Runs, Gladiator Jousts, but as I continue to work with the public, I can see those being problems and a liability nightmare. I know other people do it successfully, but I just don't want those headaches.
So I am looking at a few things.
1) Fighting robot parties, basically bringing a kid friendly version of Battlebots to someones back yard.
2) Giant inflatable twister. Good for kids and teens, albeit for different reasons...
3) Princess Tea Parties...I will have a partner to handle this.
4) Zorbs. They are giant hamster balls that people can get into.
I listed them in order of investment cost. I think I could get a bunch of small remote control robot toys cheap, but I am not sure people would pay for robot parties, I love robots, but I'm not sure kids feel the same way.
Inflatable twister would be more expensive to purchase (and difficult to store), but I think is a more attractive and popular option than robots.
I understand little girls love tea parties as much as I love laser tag.
Finally, I've had a couple parents ask me if I do Zorb hamster balls, so I'm wondering how popular these things are.
...Any thoughts ladies and gentlemen? Does one of these seem like a more popular option than the others?

Oh man.... I would love to give those Zorb things a try. And I really think this would be a bigger attraction than the others. I could see all ages, boys and girls diggin the giant hamster ball. I also like your battlebots idea, but it seems like it may be a little too technical. Interestingly, I found a site that shows you how to modify those rc battle bot toys into actual battling bots. lol Personally though, I wouldnt care much for the tea party, or the inflatable twister.... But thats just me, I could see how others would, but not me.

Okay, so Laser Tag is great, I am in the process of collecting fighting robots,....and I come across this today. Robot Laser Tag! I'm not sure if or how I am going to pull this off, but it seems like a great idea right now. ...oh, and of course it was made by Tiger (Hasbro).

Robot laser tag, neat. ;D
Wonder if they make those as off-road models for running around in grass... It could be neat to just add some of these robot guys to an existing laser tag game as a hazard.... Also gotta wonder if kids running around shooting each other, and at these robots, if a robot or 2 may get stepped on or kicked.
Radar, do you offer game variants like capture the flag, or domination?
