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.

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

• Bottled water & juice

• Energy Drinks & Gatorade

• Clif Bars

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.

If you have to cancel or are unable to make your booking, please contact us as soon as possible. We do not require payment at the time of booking but appreciate being informed of cancellations so we can open up the time slot to other players. Payment is optional at time of online booking or can be paid upon arrival at Archery Games. 

• No charges if cancelled before 48 hrs of your booking

• 50% charge if cancelled within 48hrs of your booking

• 100% charge if cancelled within 24hrs of your booking

For public games (under 12 players), please let us know as soon as possible if you think there will be a change to your number of attendees. 

Please be aware, there is a limit of 10 non-player spectators per group to prevent our lobby from getting too crowded.
