WHO WE ARE

Since 2013, we’ve been creating awesome entertainment concepts (Escape Rooms and Axe Throwing Venues) focusing on creating memories for our guests/team and having fun doing it.

After 5 years of perfecting the axe throwing franchise business model and effectively duplicating it across multiple markets, we are excited to extend to new franchise owners and partners.

We went here for a bachelorette party for a friend and the atmosphere was so much fun! definitely will be coming back

Maggie Jones

I choose to go here with some friends for my birthday celebration. When I walked in, the employees were very welcoming and fun to work with. I had made reservations for my group and everything was ready for us to go. Throwing the axes was so much fun and very therapeutic. Lol. You have a clock to keep up with the time so we were able to get use of the whole hour that we paid for. Would definitely go back.

Ivory Nicole

Our team came to Craft Axe for a fun time and team building and we had the best time! I loved the QR codes that listed all the games on them! John was SUPER engaged and gave us some other fun games to play and fun banter! 10/10.

Tarissa Knezevich

Fun time with friends. Some in our group were a little concerned about the safety aspect, but once we got there and went through orientation they felt much better. There is a one handed and two handed technique. They also have a nice selection of beers at reasonable prices. Will definitely go back.
