Welcome to the future of axe throwing. Axed Global introduce Interactive Smart Lanes© to their venue in Lincoln ahead of a 2022 expansion.
What is an Interactive Smart Lane© we hear you say? Axed Global have just taken axe throwing experiences to the next level, and we are here to tell you all about it.
Axe throwing is often synonymous with Vikings, forests, lumberjacks and all things outdoorsy. Axed Global want to bring next level axe throwing experiences to everyone, with digitally enhanced lane management and interactive games. Uprooting axe throwing as an activity from its muddy roots and transforming it into a new age, modern day staple in the leisure and entertainment industry.

So, what is an Interactive Smart Lane©? Let’s start with our interactive games, powered by touchscreen tablets.
Axe throwing is exhilarating and competitive, and Axed Global’s selection of digitally powered games enhance your session by letting you decide how you want to crank up the competition. With house games such as Area Control© which is a seriously souped-up version of the classic noughts and crosses or Battleaxe© which ramps up the stakes with moveable targets to trip up your competitors weak spots, you get to decide how you settle the scores.
These axe throwing games are joined by the classic Highscore competition with on screen scoring, so you don’t lose track as you wipe the floor with the rest of your team. Our newest game addition is Axed Royale© with moving targets which get smaller and smaller as the game progresses, you can really see who has the most skill in your team.
You are in control of your session, play what games suit your group, choose to break off into teams or play every man for themselves. Whichever you choose, Axed Global Interactive Smart Lanes© make sure your axe throwing experience is next level.
Another key part is our target management system, exclusive to Axed Global venues and our Interactive Smart Lanes©.
Your games and targets are projected onto our end grain target boards from an overhead projector, securely out of the way of flying axes. You can see everything that is happening on the tablets live on the target. By projecting the target, we can give you the freedom and choice to switch between games, so you are in control of your axe throwing session.
So what else do our Interactive Smart Lanes© have to offer?
The customer experience is boosted by our end grain target system which allows for more accurate throwing, more successful shots and less disappointment. Axe throwing around the UK sees many venues using planks of wood as a target. Axed Global uses a system called End Grain where several blocks of wood are wedged within an outer frame creating a target board that is closer to a dart board in comparison. Landing your axe in the end of the wood grain rather than along the side of a plank.
End grain targets means Axed Global customers have better experiences. End grain targets are more forgiving, meaning if your throwing technique isn’t perfect, you are still likely to land a throw. More axes landed, means more confidence and you can move on quicker to learning new techniques, really making the most of your axe throwing experience. End grain is also the safer system to have as there is significantly reduced bounce back, as well as being more environmentally friendly as they need to be replaced less often. So better experiences, safer and friendly to the environment? We’d call that 3 for 3.
So, the answer to your question ‘What are Interactive Smart lanes©?’ is simple. Its more control, more fun and better experiences for axe throwing. Axed Global raised the bar for Axe throwing in the UK.
Keep your eyes peeled for our 2022 expansion where you will see more venues opening around the UK so you can experience axe throwing venues with Interactive Smart Lanes© in a city near you.
