Dad booked an experience for the family and we were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience! We were transported to what felt like a hot game show set. There were over 18 games to choose from and all of the ones we got were all perfect for all ages of our family. It felt like a mix of price is right, big brother competitions, and the most insane game shows, I grew up watching! By the end of our game show the whole family was engaged and smiling ear to ear! What a wholesome time. A totally different way to experience "family game night" Definitely worth a go with your family or friends... this is not just a once in a lifetime experience, we're already thinking about when we're going back and who we'd bring with us! The most surprising part of this experience, is that our host Colby sent us a 45 second highlight reel of our time spent! What?! The perfect souvenir of our wonderful afternoon!

But my main thing is I think they need to do a much better job if you do a kids vs parents game, or warn against it (they said it would be fine). I ended up fighting the other parents to throw the match! I would recommend doing two teams of the same level, because overall the experience was cool, but the kids vs parents things was good for the kids, not as much for the adults. And it was kinda pricy for the whole party.

Dress code: closed toe shoes Instructions were pretty simple, with form and feet placement. You can try 2-handed or single hand throws, with 3 different sizes of axes. It was crowded, so I used axe target lanes with no metal barrier between them, but this worked out fine since my boyfriend used the other lane. Axe retrieval after each throw is recommended due to the damage fees charged if the axe thrown hits another axe. I definitely will be back to do more axe throwing and maybe try knife throwing while I'm at it.

When we came in without a reservation, we were disappointed by how the situation was handled. The gentleman we spoke with came across as rude and did not make any effort to accommodate us or offer alternatives. I completely understand the importance of reservations and respecting business policies. However, customer service still matters in these situations. A polite explanation, helpful guidance, or even suggesting another time to return would have made a big difference in how we felt leaving the establishment. I hope the business considers making the reservation requirement more visible and improving how walk-in guests are treated.

The website and Yelp was a great way to research the company and all that they do.

Carissa was great with sending over details, contracts, was on time, and patient when we weren't! She had a great vibe, explained everything and gave us time to get to know more about each other before and after the hunt. LOVED the 3 min video she sent following our event. They even provided prizes, but welcomed adding your own. Loved how she/they made it easy for us to have fun and learn about each other and the surrounding area. I would and already have recommended!

The portion sizes were super generous; we made tons of baked chorizo croquetas, devoured our entire paella, and still had plenty of lemon ricotta cheesecake left over to take home. Just a heads-up: the class ran from 7:30 to 9:30, so dinner ends up being on the later side. That said, it's totally in line with Spanish dining culture, so no complaints there, just something to keep in mind if you're coming hungry!

It's a small group with max 8 people so you definitely get attention from the instructor and our instructor came by to correct us and help at each step. You really learn the basics of throwing pottery through making a bowl and a cup and the instructor will help you with the pulls or course correct if you're something incorrectly. It's awesome that you can customize your pieces and don't be afraid to mess up! The instructor lets you take the pieces he makes if yours is ruined completely. At the end you can choose a glaze to fire your pieces with and then it's a 2-3 week wait until it's ready to pick up! Would definitely recommend for a group of friends or a fun date!
