Can I participate if I'm pregnant?
Yes. There are currently no jump scares or surprises in any of our escape rooms and all rooms have at least one chair where pregnant mums to be can take a rest should they wish.
The axe throwing is mildly strenuous but we always have a sofa, a foot stool and a cup of tea on hand for our visiting Mums to be. You have to look after that future little axe thrower.
Can I throw axes wearing sandles/flip flops?
We advise that the minimum footwear be a closed toe training shoe or equivalent. Our axes are sharp and rebounds do happen. As with any activity of this type, common sense should prevail so please come prepared.
Can I throw axes under the influence of alcohol/recreational drugs?
We do not allow people to throw axes who are, in OUR opinion obviously under the influence of Alcohol or recreational drugs. Please do not come expecting to throw axes if you have partaken in drink or drugs. You will NOT be allowed to throw and you will not be offered a refund.
Can I bring my own equipment?
No. Our axes are maintained by ourselves so we can monitor their integrity and overall safety to be used for throwing. We only use good quality Norse tomahawks in our ranges.
How long is a session?
Escape rooms last for an hour, but we book 90 minute slots to allow for the briefing and, in the event that the room is not completed within the hour, a little bit of time for you to solve the room and escape. Axe throwing sessions are 90 minutes, but if you're enjoying yourselves and we have no booking for your lane directly after your booking we allow you to throw for as long as you like.
