Duck Hunter
- Frames: 5 or 10 (easy or hard)
- Players: Up to 6
A burst of feathers
Join a fun duck adventure where your goal is to aim and hit various ducks flying around. Be cautious though, the rubber ducky is not to be touched! Every duck you successfully target adds a point to your score, but hitting the rubber ducky results in a penalty of -2 points. You can choose between an easy 5-frame game or a more challenging 10-frame game. After each successful hit, see a burst of feathers on the screen as your target gracefully leaves the board. Get ready for an exciting feathered spectacle!
Tic-Tac-Toe
- Players: Two
It’s a classic game made more fun with axes! Pick X (axes) or O (targets) for your team and throw. Where you hit, you get that square. But if the other team hits that spot, it clears it! So you can play offense and defense.
Be careful though, if you hit your mark, that will also clear it. The first team to get three in a row wins.
It is a great game that is a ton of fun and challenging from a strategy standpoint and throwing accuracy!
Line-Up-Four
- Players: Two
Line-Up-Four is a classic game that takes skill and logic to beat your opponent. Hit any column and your color chip falls. Get four to line up across, up and down, or diagonally for the win!
Zombie Hunter
- Frames: 5 or 10 (easy or hard)
- Players: Up to 6
Gear up for a zombie apocalypse and hone your throwing skills. Take down all 10 zombies, but be careful not to hit the friendly yellow emoji who’s a bit scared. It’s a challenging game of precision to eliminate the zombies one by one!
Merry Axe-Mas
- Frames: 5 or 10
- Players: Up to 6
Our seasonal game keeps your customers coming back for more! Bust the ornaments, star, and stockings, with the larger items worth fewer points and the smaller ones becoming harder – but a better payout!
Be careful, however… you don’t want to damage the presents!
Bottle Axe
- Players: Up to 6
In Bottle Axe, your goal is to find the perfect spot to hit to maximize your score. Hit colors that are grouped, and the more that explodes, the more points you get!
Concentration
- Players: Up to 6
Word Whack
- Players: Up to 6
“Word Whack” is an engaging word game that transforms the alphabet into a unique game board. Players are presented with a random phrase above the alphabet game board. They take turns throwing axes at letters they believe are part of the hidden phrase. Successful hits fill in corresponding spaces on the phrase. Players can choose to throw axes at more letters or solve the phrase.
To solve, missing letters are highlighted one at a time, and players interact with the alphabet using clicks, touches, or keyboard inputs to fill them in. If correct, they win the round; if incorrect, the next player gets a turn. “Word Whack” offers a thrilling word-finding experience that challenges both skill and strategy, promising excitement as players aim for precision and expand their vocabulary.
The Safest Axe Throwing Lanes in The GTA
The history of the axe goes way back, according to Greek mythology, invented by Daedalus (the father of Icarus, the first axes were chipped from a chunk of hard stone that was initially held in the hand and was probably used for many purposes. Eventually someone learned to fasten the stone to a wooden handle with thongs or by drilling a hole in the stone, giving him more leverage to strike a harder blow, as well as a longer reach. An axe was one of the simplest tools of mankind. However, the recreational use of axes is a relatively new and emerging sport. It is thought to have only been started a mere 15 or so years ago, purely out of boredom in a backyard in Toronto.
Axe throwing developed from messing around in the backyard, to the realization of how cathartic and fun throwing an axe can be. Point systems were quickly developed, proper targets were designed and the sport instantly piqued the interest of anyone who caught a glimpse.
There are axe-throwing locations all over the world and over 6000 league members. On any given night people are chucking axes in over 240 cities and across 19 countries. There is even a National Axe Throwing Federation (NATF) that was developed in 2016 to standardize the sport across the globe. So, safe to say the answer is YES to the question “axe throwing? Is that a thing?”
While axe-throwing at Champs is pretty iconic, the World Axe Throwing League was established to connect the international locations. You can throw axes all over Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand, much of Europe including Italy, Spain and Germany, Indonesia, Peru and even Kazakhstan.
How it works?
To have fun throwing axes, it takes a combination of elements. How good are the axes, the facility, the staff and the targets? No one in the GTA has targets like Champs Most targets are just some 2′ by 10′ boards from Home Depot that they use a big sharpie and draw some circles.
Our targets are the result of hundreds of hours of design work to create an interactive axe throwing target that is fun to throw, easy-to-stick and safer than any other in the GTA area. And with our interactive targets, you can choose from different games to play.
- Grip the axe firmly with your dominant hand, leaving about an inch of the handle below your hand. Make sure the blade is straight and not rotated either way so that the axe flies straight upon release
- Place your non-dominant hand firmly above your dominant hand as a guide
- Bring the axe, with both hands, back over your head as though you were throwing a soccer ball onto the field from out of bounds. Lean back slightly so you can use momentum to throw
- Step forward with your non-dominant foot. Bring the axe forward in a quick motion and release with your arms straight, at head level
How Safe is Axe Throwing?
While the description in itself may sound a tad barbaric, as axe-throwing became more established in the recreational world, so did the safety alongside it. Every venue and league prioritizes safety and recognizes the innate risks of literal weapon throwing. Although it might sound chaotic or unsafe, it really isn’t. The standards in which axe-throwing venues follow ensure a safe and fun experience for everyone.
If you’re still a bit wary, allow us to enlighten you to some of our many procedures in place at Forged to ensure you leave with all your fingers and toes!
- Require to be minimum 16 years and above.
- Only One person throws in a lane at a time, and the lanes are fenced in to prevent axes from bouncing into other alleys.
- Only One Axe per lane
- Person walking out of the lane never hands out Axe to next person in hand, rather they leave the Axe in wooden pocket and leave the lane.
- Each Lane is fully enclosed on all sides and there is absolutely no chance of stray Axes.
- All players must wear closed-toed shoes.
- Our no bounce border systems make our lanes the safest.
