Recently visited Montreal again for a second bachelor party, this time in December. In a last…read moreminute scramble to fill up space during the day, I stumbled upon their website and thank god I did. A group of 6 of us (in our mid 20s) decided to try the combat archery for an hour on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived the place is a little small for the amount of activities they have running at the same time, but even with kids birthday parties going on in the Nerf battle arena, we were able to check in, sign waivers and have a 5 minute waiting area before we were called to the back for archery. If you are like myself who has never shot a bow before, do not worry you will get the hang of it after your first shot. We had a quick demonstration/training by our wonderful worker assigned to our group. We did have 2 people join our group which brought us to a total of 8 which was the perfect number for the size of the arena for adults our size.We played about 6-7 different games and our time sure felt like more than an hour. If you need a place to get out the cold in the winter or the heat in the summer, be sure to check out the combat archery because we had a BLAST!!!! Also FYI - During the weekend there is free street parking all around the place do not worry about the street signs.

Notre moniteur Cyril a utilisé juste le nombre de mots qu'il fallait pour nous expliquer le sport : pas de blabla, seulement des consignes précises. Et hop, c'était parti !

Safety briefing first then Got instructional lessons on how to use two types of axes (one regular "Hachette" and a long handled one). I really surprised myself on how good I was!

Well done!!! I also appreciated that - this being a ladies' birthday event- the staff focused on our having fun as a group rather than making the session into some kind of chest-beating axe-lobbing competition. Excellent job in reading the room!!

Strippers, hookers, dancers whatever .....sadly or not, we got axe throwing and a strip joint that well, hates money (let's leave that for a different review chez paree) Typically ax throwing doesn't enter a marriage story until year 2; when the honeymoon is over, but read on if you want. I believe the best man booked a reservation for an hour it may have been more, but regardless they trained us on how to actually throw, showed us some trick shots and had score cards for an actual round robin competition. I can't even give this place 4 stars for not having booze available, but i want to for the record, yeah yeah throwing axes and booze don't mix, were Americans we don't care. We definitely ran over the reservation time, but rather than shake us down for more money for more time, they gave us the option to buy more (we didn't) and they still let us finish our competition and then got us all together for some photos. No force sell either, I believe they mentioned they would put the photo up on Facebook and then took some with our phones. Would they do this in America? No fucking chance, capitalism apparently is subject to each venu in Canada. This is a real thing and I reason I love Canada for this, that and you know poutine, and the US dollar being worth 1.26 in that funny colored money they have. I believe you can have zero athletic ability (a few at this thing did) and still have the ability to stick the axe, I mean it's an ax, throw it at the board, get good and then you will be fully trained for the zombie attack in America. I plan on throwing a bunch of them while I run to Canada to live, and clearly there will be a significant amount of trained canadians ready to kick ass as well. Just another reason to move to America's top hat. Try it for yourself, and if you are wondering why I kept changing the spelling of ax/axe it's just because I can, don't axe. (I love dad jokes) #fuckyoukeith

Visited PlaAXburgh with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon. First things first, this place is…read moreonly a couple of months old & my map couldn't find it (it's in the Big Lots shopping center, fyi) The pros: The facility was clean, staff was very helpful (and fun), and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We got three types of axes and the owner of Precision Engraving was even kind enough to also let us throw some of his knives. As only one of us had ever thrown an ax before, we needed quite a bit of guidance, and Plaxburgh's team members were very helpful and encouraging. The cons: No food or bev options (other than a couple of vending machines in the back), and the cost is a bit high at $25 per person per hour (the only reason I deducted a star). You will need to sign a disclaimer form, and anyone under 18 will need an adult with them. Plaxburgh is available for corporate team building events and private events!

This is a review for the VR game Beyond Medusa's Gate by Ubisoft. Ok this was seriously a lot of…read morefun. It was my first time playing with a VR game and we were a group of four. The game was just hard enough to be interesting but not so hard that it's demoralizing. Apart from the game, there's not much to describe in terms of the room since, well, it's all in the VR!! The yellow room we got had windows on one side and was overlooking the street. There's sufficient space in there for four people such that you won't bump into each other. You can go without glasses when you put on the headset since the image is up close. Because this is a group game, just swivel up one of your headphones so you can hear your teammates talking as you'll need to work together. Since you have to physically bend down to pick stuff off the ground you can't really sit. And since you use the controls to "walk" by teleporting from one place to another, I'd recommend wearing comfy shoes because you'll literally be standing still for the whole game. Overall a really cool experience to test out VR before committing to a headset/games. I'd love to go back and try out the other games!

So you could imagine us as an overly confident (read: turbulent) team in front of an enthusiastic game master. We played the Nightfall scenario, which lasts for 60 minutes normally. We appreciate the fact that "pre-hints" were offered on a clipboard, but in the end were not necessary for the completion of our mission. There is enough to keep two sub-teams busy (which, like any other escape room game, is a shame, because you might miss an interesting opportunity to contribute). Not to spoil the surprise, but there were a few items that were discovered "by chance", although there may have been good logic behind it. We appreciated the sound indicator whenever a clue was successfully achieved, a nice touch compared to the competition. In the end, we finished third on the leaderboard, with 26 minutes to spare (which is pretty disappointing for us, you can imagine). We discovered this place through Tuango, which cut down the price to around 20$ per person, which is a decent price for the experience we got. This is obviously a place that's just starting, so we will cut them some slack on some items that were low-key. The other scenario Shelter 2039 is also intriguing, so we will definitely check it out in the future!

We only stayed for 30 minutes as we wanted to see as much of the city as we could, but I could have easily stayed for hours! Will absolutely visit again!

Didn't see anything to clean any of the vr arcade, thus not very clean for that. There's a small bar and a small place to snack. The pricing is weird. You must buy a card and the type of card you buy can have extra credits. Weird thing, at the machine, if I take a 75$ card with 20% bonus it give me 45 bonus credit (but doesn't tell me how many credit 75$ give) and with the card and taxes, the total is 100$. If I go at the counter, there's 4 choice where one is 75$ with 60 credits for a total of 360 credits. Price of game range a lot. The little one cost like 6 credits while bigger like activate cost 26 per player, which is normal. I haven't visited an arcade for a long time so I'm unsure if it's a lot or not. You can reserve for comporte event, party and other. There's a small room that you can use for these events. Good place to have some fun.
