There were a few red herrings, which made it a lot of fun, and a few moments where I definitely was frustrated a clue too me so long to get- it was really clever attention to detail They have a live clock in the room & pop-in to ask if we wanted clues or needed assistance; there are time warnings well notified- it was a good balance of support Would definitely return to try other rooms (p.s everything was super clean & ample hand sanitizer everywhere!)

I remember when Dodgebow first came to the area -- though I believe the Hanover location was first…read more Before the pandemic, I told myself I wanted to go, but for whatever reason, it fell off my radar. I think I tried to get people together, and I just wasn't committed enough... plans fell through. So I forgot about it... until a friend said she was celebrating her birthday and this was the activity. I jumped for joy in anticipation of the outing. Our group arrived with plenty of time... and once our time slot was up, they let us put our jackets and pocket contents in little cubbies. Dodgebow is literally dodgeball with arrows. The bows are so easy to draw, and the arrow tips are soft and foamy. Having been a dodgeball team captain recently, AND already enjoying basic archery, it was my time to shine. We had a couple of practice rounds hitting targets and getting a feel for the field. It had inflatable obstacles to hide behind, and there were targets on the opposite end where we could revive our teammates. It was such a fun time, and I'm either considering this location or the other one for my birthday. I cannot wait until the next time! Oh, by the way, the staff were friendly and happy to answer any questions we had.

This was the most fun I've had in a long time…read more When we arrived, we saw a previous group leaving and they discussed how much fun they had, so we were all excited! We started with practice and training - staff was clear and helpful with their directions. Then, the games begun! Different games throughout the reservation, and fun music played to make it extra fun! The space is clean and neat, and we had a fantastic time! I'm a fan, and I'm coming back. WAIT! ONE MORE THING! You can get a photo package, and they'll take pics/short videos of you and your group playing. I get to have a good time, and keep the memories!

My group of seven purchased $174 worth of tickets for DodgeBow, and the experience raised a number…read moreof concerns. Before the event, I never received a confirmation email. I called multiple times, but the Owner's voicemail box was full. I sent a text message and an email and never received a response. When we arrived, the building was locked. At that point, we weren't even sure if our activity was happening. Then a separate group arrived and we were all standing around just waiting and perplexed. A woman from that group said she also never received a confirmation email and had been unable to reach anyone. So this wasn't an isolated issue. A little after 1:00 PM (when our activity was supposed to start) two employees arrived. At first they had a hard time accessing the building and had to go through an alternative route to let us in, so that killed more time. The employees explained that the owners were on vacation and all they knew is that they had had instructiins to be there at 1:00 PM. We eventually got started, but several things bothered me. The overall operation seemed disorganized. During check in, the topic of waivers came up and none of our groups had completed waiver forms before playing. I was also surprised by the lack of a beginner safety orientation. The website states that players receive a 10 minute orientation session. We were first time players. When we arrived, safety goggles and small black arm guards were sitting on a table, but they were not handed out or explained to us. As beginners, we had no idea what "those little straps" (arm bands) were for or that they protected against bowstring injuries or that goggles were [required] throughout play. Instead, we only received rules on how the game is played. Another concern was the protective equipment itself. The website shows players wearing full face protective masks and states that protective face masks are provided. However, there are were only goggles provided. During the event, my husband was struck in the eye area by an arrow after removing his goggles because they repeatedly fogged up and made it difficult to see. His eye was sore afterward and bright light is still bothering him. We hope there are no lasting effects. My daughter also suffered a significant abrasion on her arm from the bow. When we asked for ice, the employee told us there wasn't any available and ended up providing frozen popsicles instead. I have no clue why ice wasn't available for situations like these. There were not enough arrows available at times, so players had to wait for arrows to be returned before they could continue playing. The equipment did not appear to be well maintained either. Many of the arrows were missing fins, and some had only one fin left. The playing area was small, and there didn't seem to be enough barriers for the number of players. The space was also very warm, with only one industrial fan running. There was no water cooler or bottled water available for purchase. Finally, disinfectant wipes were sitting on the equipment table, and I guess people are responsible for cleaning their own goggles before use. When I wiped ours down, the wipes came away dirty, which made me question whether the equipment had been sanitized between groups. To be fair, the employees working that day were polite and did their best with what they had. They apologized profusely and even offered to let us play longer due to the delays. The young man was swift with addressing my daughter's abrasion. My frustration is with the ownership and overall management of the business. Between the lack of communication, unanswered calls and emails, poor safety procedures, lack of ice and general operational issues, this was not an experience I would pay for again.

I know in this day and time that Google can solve a lot of ignorant problems. I chose to be ignorant about Activate Baltimore. My friends described it as a gaming place. I thought Dave & Buster's, right? Wrong. Wear your most comfortable clothes and shoes. You are about to get down and dirty. Yes, leaving it all on the floor. I put time into my look on the day I visited Activate Baltimore. I thought I was cute and prepared , wearing sneakers and jeans. I should have worn my Spandex set and slouch socks. It woulda gave hot mom. Anyways, this is a sweat pants activity. Side bar: I think it would be really cool if ACTIVATE BALTIMORE had athletic gear specifically made for this activity. You will be playing games that make you feel like you're playing dodge ball. Duos and groups of 3 or 4 , competing in laser beam limbo , memory games , hopping, shooting lasers, laser Tetris and pac man adjacent games. I didn't realize it at the beginning but you will earn points for each room you enter and will be ranked according to your skill. Some rooms are popular and may have a long line . You have to wait your turn. They have lockers for stuff. Not a lot of stuff. My friend brought a red cooler full of water for his birthday celebration. He's 40 and very thirsty. After 15 min of playing games , I began to sweat. I was nervous and afraid to be musty. The rooms are small and it would linger . Jesus . ( What is this life I'm living ? ) I took a potty break. Gathered myself as women always do and had a great time. Key Points : There is a literacy level to these games . Make sure at least 1 person can read on your team. Wear sweats Ladies pull your hair up or back. No open toe shoes KNEE PADS Leave jewelry home . Ladies wear pants, unless you want dirty knees No pocket change . Put your loose stuff in a locker .

Everything was very user-friendly with clear instructions, and each room helps guide you through what to do whether you're a beginner or more advanced. Be prepared to be comfortable and ready to move because it can definitely get intense. You will work up a sweat. It's intense, but no worries--this space is designed for you to go at your own pace. Overall, it was such a fun experience. This is a great spot for a date, family time, or hanging out with friends. We will definitely be back.
