My work Christmas team event was here tonight and we had a blast.
Alex and Xavier ran out competitions and managed our large group.
While waiting for our turn most of us spent a lot of time practicing in some other lanes and I want to give an extra special shout out to T, she gave really attentive feedback and iterative advice to all of us and helped us polish our skills. She's such an awesome coach it felt like I'd hired a special personal axe trainer she was so attentive and precise.

I just walked past and thought, why not? It was a pricier activity at $55 pp per hour but not too bad.
We had a quick run through of everything and got three aces to choose from for each throw. There was even score sheet to make each turn more of a game too.
I’m not sure the name of the employee who showed my partner some tips and tricks but he was so down to earth and happy to chat. My partner left happy after chatting to him and scoring 7 points straight after so thank you :)

Exceptional experience! Six of us walked in with absolutely no idea how to handle an axe, but our customer service host was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient.
Bonus points — he was also very handsome!
We felt completely comfortable in the space, and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the venue was.
