Archery Games offers combat archery which is played similar to dodgeball - but with bows and soft foam-tipped arrows.

This exciting, action-packed game offers the ultimate family-friendly experience that is fun for everyone.

Each session is 75 minutes long. This includes 15 minutes of briefing, basic archery training and practice time, and follows by 60 minutes of game play.

Nerf sessions are slightly shorter at 60 minutes total, with 10 minutes of training and 50 minutes of gameplay. 

Players will have opportunities for refreshments or washroom breaks during the halftime break.

For Open Games, players must be aged 10 and up to join a game, or age 8+ for private games.

For younger players, we have Nerf Wars available! Swap the bows for Nerf blasters and still enjoy all the fun of an arena battle. Available for ages 6-9.

No archery experience is required to play. Prior to the actual game play, all players will be provided basic training and sufficient time to practice shooting. 

A dedicated staff member will help train all players to become champions on the playing field!

A pair of clean athletic indoor shoes is required to enter the arena. We suggest wearing athletic clothing such as t-shirt and shorts. We also recommend removing all jewelry prior to game play.

For players who wear glasses, we have specially-cut masks for you, but we recommend wearing contacts if you can. 

For ages 19+, you can visit Playback, our in hour games bar after your game for alcoholic & alcohol-free drinks. You can also take your own food into Playback to enjoy at your table.

In the Archery Games lobby, we have a small selection of light refreshments: 

• Cans of pop

For all other food & drink needs, you are welcome to bring your own and enjoy them at the tables in our lobby.

Yes! Playback, our in-house games bar, is open to everyone aged 19+ for drinks and even more games.

As it is located inside our facility, you can head over there before or after your game. All games are free to play on a first-come-first-served basis.

You can also order your own food to the bar, or bring your own to enjoy at your table.

Make sure you check Playback's Opening Hours before you plan your visit.

All players should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their reserved game time. 

In the instance where safety training is missed, we may decide at our discretion whether any late arrivals may participate in game play. Please contact us and let us know if you or your group will be late and we will do our best to accommodate. However, arriving late will likely result in less game play time and a limited experience.
