    Came with a group of friends for birthday celebration. We purchased the special package (extra $10/person ) for different gadgets to throw. The instructor was very nice. We had lots of fun!

    Took the dads in my life here to celebrate Father's Day (we were a group of 5). I called to booked our reservations (two of the dads are veterans and one is a firefighter); they gave us a discount for this. When we arrived, Nicole was absolutely the sweetest; thanking the for their service. Our lane wasn't ready, so we played pool until to pass the time (we arrived 20 minutes early). Jack, our coach/instructor, was extremely patient with us as we laughed and awkwardly threw the hatchets. He gave us pointers that helped improve all of our throws. Once we were comfortable with the hatches and played a game, we were able to pick other items to throw with (added on when I made the reservations). We threw ninja stars, knives, batarang, and throwing cards. Jack was again, able to coach us. After a warm up, we played another game. The winners of both games went head to head to see the ultimate winner. Once the champion was determined, he was given a trophy (also an add on). While we were there, I ordered pizza from Anthony Franco's. They delivered it with plates, napkins, cups, etc. After we were done with our games and pizza, Nicole set up balloons for us to pop with our weapon of choice. Needless to say, we will be back. We are absolutely grateful for Nicole and Jack; they went above and beyond.

    First time here with a group of 8! John H. was an ax master/instructor! I highly recommend going! You also get to bring your own food and alcoholic drinks!

    I had a great time here with my family. Came in a party of three. The person at the front desk was so nice and explained everything to us as it was our first time there. We walked over to our station and another team member taught us how to throw and also gave us ideas for games we could play against each other. It was a wonderful time and i would go back again for sure.

    The customer service is excellent! They helped me solve a problem with my tickets. Once there, our host Jack was so helpful and accommodating, we had a great time! Highly recommend this Paramus location!

    Loved the atmosphere! It was the first time we went axe throwing and the experience could not have been better! I'd say the 1 hour is perfect--you'll be a little tired for 2 hours, but still manageable! Perfect date idea if you ask me! Thank you, Cheyenne!

    Picture time!

    SEB- Sebastián was a GREAT Axe Master! Not to mention being awesome on his 1st day!!! The staff was friendly. The atmosphere is super chill and fun. There were couples, groups, birthdays etc. We came in for a friend's birthday and had a great time. Our Door Dash food order was late and they allowed us to stay a little after our time to eat. We really appreciated their kindness!! We'll be back!!

    Brand new business. Just opened this week. Came for a friend's birthday and this was where he picked. This is BYOB and food. Very hipster decor. If you like chopping wood and wearing flannel this is your place. Picnic tables to hang out and watch your friends get drunk and throw axes at a wall. What a concept! You rent it by the hour and you sign waivers like the kids do at trampoline parks, on an iPad. We had food delivered with Uber eats and brought coolers of beer and girly drinks. We were taught how to throw axes "correctly" and yep. There is a correct way! You will end up sweating and getting a work out! This is a pretty large place and when we were there, there was not enough people working. Leaving people to just start throwing axes before anyone told us the "rules." The rules are basically, don't throw axes at the same time. Move away from the person throwing the axe. There was lots of girls here too and I'd say this is best for groups of friends because it's pretty entertaining watching a very girly girl throw an axe or a strong guy think he can throw an axe and suck. There was some sort of plumbing issues going on so we had to walk next door to pee which sucked but I'm sure they'll call a plumber soon. I'm sure we'll be back because the guys has a blast.

    Must say, I had a great time at Bury the Hatchet. Who knew hatchet throwing could be this fun. It was my first time ever throwing hatchets and my first throw was a bullseye thanks to the brief training a worker named Pedro gave me. Don't get me wrong, your going to miss a lot and not connect properly with the wooden targets but that's part of the fun. Oh and some of the staff are hilarious because they yell out "Bullseyeeee!" after each time you hit the bullseye. They will also keep score on an app for you if you want to have competitions against each other whether it's one on one or group against group. They first teach you to throw with two hands which is definitely the easiest way to hit the target but they also teach you how to throw one handed and throwing the hatchet upside down. I had the pleasure of being taught these other two techniques by a lovely worker named Jymis :) , she was a great instructor and I learned how to improve my throwing skills thanks to her. Overall It was a great experience and the entire staff was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back here again. FYI It's also BYOB!! Definitely recommended you check this place out with a date or group of friends. Fun times here.

    My husband and I went here as a 25 days of Christmas date, and LOVED it!! Our ax master was named Andre and he was absolutely amazing. He definitely helps you work on your technique to actually get good at throwing and landing on the board versus just watching and pepping you up. I have done this once before and the staff was not as good or attentive as he was! We will definitely be making this a monthly thing, and will definitely try and book when Andre is working!

Every room is private so it was just the 2 of us and they let you connect your phone to their system so you can listen to your own playlist while painting. They give you ample and quality gear - poncho, coveralls, gloves and goggles. And then they send you into the room with plenty of paint, 1 canvas per person and whatever else you ordered (paint bombs, paint guns, spin art, stencils, etc). We also got the bear pour as an add-on and I'm super excited about it! (Note that the bear can't be taken home that day though so we paid for shipping). You can paint wherever and however to your hearts desire. Our room also had plastic axe throwing and a drum with paint on it to splatter. I LOVE taking pictures so I also very much appreciated that they come in constantly to take pictures and send them to you a few days later. When it was time to go, they give you pizza boxes that hold the canvases perfectly. We laid down a sheet in our trunk underneath but it wasn't necessary (and our canvases had A LOT of paint on them so we we were impressed they didn't spill - and made the 1.5 hr drive home without getting ruined). It was a fun way to celebrate my birthday and I would definitely go back with my 3 boys! Afterwards, we did their target zone with BB guns (they said age minimum is about 10 which makes sense). I wasn't sure if we'd do it but I wanted to extend our day to more than just the hour so we went ahead and did it. VERY WORTH IT! Ron helped us and was a great instructor - very nice and happy to be there. We tried their airsoft rifles and then their handguns and both were very different and fun to play with. My husband and I went head to head making it a fun competition and it's pretty easy to pick it up quickly. Overall, great experience and really friendly staff!

    The experience was beyond disappointing and honestly unacceptable. The staff was completely…read moreinattentive and offered little to no instruction or guidance from the moment we arrived. We were simply told that we could not throw the larger items, only the cups, and then left to figure everything else out on our own. To make matters worse, we paid extra for the "360 video experience," only to find out it was nothing more than our own phone being placed on their device -- something that was never properly explained beforehand. Charging customers extra for that is extremely misleading. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of care and professionalism from the two staff members working. After sitting around for an extended period with no communication, we literally had to go out and ask whether our session was even over. That level of disinterest and poor customer service was obvious the entire time. My family and I came here to celebrate a birthday, and instead we left frustrated and disappointed. Spending nearly $300 for this level of service was a complete waste of money. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.

    I'd been curious about rage rooms for a while, and after stumbling upon The Ragery while walking my…read moredog, I finally decided to check it out with a friend. We went for the $200 room, which came with one large item, one medium, one small, and a variety of plates and cups to smash. The process starts with signing waivers, storing your stuff in a locker, and suiting up with a helmet (with a face guard), gloves, and a thin jumpsuit. They also give you a wireless speaker so you can blast your own music while you rage which adds a fun personal touch. Inside the room, the rules are pretty straightforward: don't break the walls, don't hit each other, and keep communicating. You get a choice of "weapons" including bats, pipes, crowbars, a skateboard, and hammers. For about 30 minutes, we were on our own with plenty of room to let off steam and smash things to our hearts' content. Was it fun? Absolutely. Smashing stuff is as therapeutic as you'd hope. Was it worth $200? That's a tougher call. It felt a bit steep for what you get, but the experience did match what was advertised. I imagine you could find similar rooms for less money outside of Manhattan, but this is New York; just about everything is pricier here, even breaking stuff. Overall, I had a blast, but if you're on a budget, keep in mind that the cost is definitely part of the thrill in this city.
