Would definitely recommend - rented the entire game with a group of 18 and hope to do again sometime in the future. Our game host was great, and I really liked the progressive game structure that made each game a bit more challenging/different than the last.

The game is very fun and I would give this a much better review if it weren’t for one big issue. I went with a group of friends and much of the game was ruined for us by EMPLOYEES PLAYING YHE GAME! We paid to have fun and play the game, not have employees who are far better than anyone else get everyone out. The last round I didn’t even get to play because I instantly got out the second I turned around after picking up the first arrow, and I was a lucky one. I was quite good at the game and got many people out, and personally had an overall good time, but seeing the other players clearly not having fun continuously getting out by employees really ruined the vibe. There were people who were pretty much just out for the entirety of every game. I think it is pretty outrageous to have employees ruin the fun like that.

Thought Id try this once or twice, but I enjoyed it enough that it turned into a monthly outing. Then it spiralled into a crippling addiction, and Im now a member of both their Monday and Tuesday evening weekly leagues. I never feel truly at peace unless someones shooting arrows at me. Ive introduced several coworkers and friends to it, and so far 9 of them have enjoyed it enough to also join the league. Not even Scientology can touch that conversion rate.The entrance is shared with the Dollar General.

Great team bonding activity. Amazing staff, great arena, great equipments. Totally worth the money. They divide people in 2 teams and have 7 games in all. Each game is for about 5-7 mins long. Last game is for the ultimate champion. It is one of the best indoor activity and it is also a good workout. It last for 1 hour.

I went here as a one off with some co-workers and had such a good time I signed up for the league and havent looked back! The one off games are fun regardless of if youre new player or a regular and they make sure to mix up the teams to make it balanced. Ive played with people of all ages (seriously, from kids to grandparents) and its been such a great way to get out, meet people, and have fun especially as someone still pretty new to the area Make sure to wear clothes you can run around in and prepare to have a blast!

That was super fun. Dodge ball with blunted arrows. Getting hit feels like a playful punch - which can still sting in a sensitive spot, but you get a face mask. Great cardio.

It was fun but was not 75 minutes as promised..may be only 50 min. This is my second time here, first time was adequate but not this time.

Cool spot, neat concept, but if you like fairly judged, reasonably matched games stay away from the league play.

Took some college students that I work with here for a little end of the year celebration. It was great fun. I really enjoyed all the variety of games that we got to play. They did a great job explains and breaking down how to shoot, so that everyone was able to participate.Two drawbacks:The masks are kinda gross because it gets so hot.I wish some of the games had been longer. The goal is to play many kinds, so each ends up being really short

It is, to say the least, unfortunate that I can no longer recommend this establishment after an incident occurred on December 23rd that was completely out of the hands of the participants in the arena.TLDR;Referee wasn’t wearing a safety mask when the safety rules clearly state that he should. Referee was shot in the face by a player, became irate, told everyone to leave the arena and go home. Followed up with an employee the next day and was met with unprofessionalism as well as accusations of my fellow party members.Background:Our group of 10 people had shown up and were met with another group of 11 individuals that had come together as well.We had just began our first game of Medic, directly after the half-time break. The referee in the arena was not wearing face protection and was shot above the right eyebrow resulting in an open cut and a blood trail to match. He was extremely agitated and began yelling expletives to the 21 people in the arena as we all stood around, unaware of what to do. Finally, he motioned for us all to get out of the arena and, said bluntly, our session was over and we had to leave. Our group stayed a bit longer as we were waiting for rides and the injured employee walked out.The Problem:We called again, on December 24th, to see if there was a possibility to rectify the half of a session we had left. The employee that picked up was very rude and stated that we had almost finished the entirety of the session and that we did not apologize to the injured referee the previous night. After another party member called he stated he had no intention of correcting the issue.This was not a “freak accident”. The employee should have worn some type of face protection in the arena as with 20 players there is a high likelihood of an arrow being shot towards the sidelines, resulting in the referee being hit. He was already hit numerous times in his lower extremities during the first half of our session. There is no excuse for him to not have been wearing a full-face mask and I am having a hard time believing this is the first time one of their employees were injured in the arena.

This is a blast. The referee did a great job explaining the rules and making it a fun time for everyone. Its a physical game, so dress to do some running around. Their equipment is well cared for and the arrows have pads the size of jumbo marshmallows on them, so they dont hurt, but you know when you get hit. Everyone wears face masks so you wont get hit directly on the face. For the money, I think this is a great activity for friends and co-workers looking to celebrate something, or just to have a good time.

We went for a private event and it was so fun! It was a team building activity for work and we certainly learned a lot about each other. Our host was funny and fantastic. Would definitely recommend for any occasion!

Very fun activity! Great staff workers also. The games will definitely make you break a sweat and your legs will feel it. Great price for the archery games.

Review №19

Great experience for a decent price! It was a lot more physically demanding than I expected it to be; dress appropriately and prepare to be sore the next day! I was afraid it would get monotonous after a while but the refs kept it fun and refreshing. Def come here with a group. You need a minimum of 8 to play but up to 20 can sign up for a time slot so there’s potential that you’ll play with strangers.Hope I get the chance to return!

This was a lot of fun. The place is well maintained and the staff are very professional. Instructions on how to use the bow were very helpful. Small or big group you will still have great time.

Review №22

What an unforgettable experience! Ive now played Archery Tag twice and Im a fan. A big fan! To the extent in which Im writing this review thinking about my strategies for next time... can I pull off an arched shot? ...should I commit to shooting arrows from the middle or the start of the game? No matter what my strategy is for next time, one thing I am certain of - Ill be back! Strategy and play aside, the staff is fun, kind and make the experience more pleasurable. The facility itself is also clean and well kept.I highly recommend Archery Games for groups of all ages, single players looking to pickup a game or couples looking for a fun date.

Kind of upset, we spent 300$ for our sons birthday party to have an awesome nerf war and to say the least the best part was the arena and the equipment. they wouldn’t let the kids use the rival bullets, BUT THEY HAD THEM. The gun selection was awfulc the dodgeball obviously.... all kids love dodgeball speaks for itselfMy nerf gun collection is everything you can buy for nerf, then we get to this gangster arena, to play with one shooters, no automatic rifles, “we have a great selection of guns”Lied to, money wasted, pizza was AMAZING

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The staff are amazingly patient yet assertive, and KIND. This just became my son and Is favorite activity together. I wasnt ready for the soreness the following day: total body workout (especially if youre committed). Its a great way to get the whole family involved.

Review №27

This place is a lot of fun!The instructors are friendly but make sure everyone takes safety seriously. They walk you through the basics of getting the mask and wristguard on, as well as loading and firing the bow. No prior experience required.There was a good variety of game-types. Equipment was all freshly cleaned, no sweaty armguards or masks.It is a bit of a workout if you really get into it, but you dont need to be a star athlete to have a good time.Well worth the price, would recommend for parties or friendly gatherings.

This place is probably the most fun you can have in Boston. Great Company, Great Concept, and Great Staff. 5/5 Would recommend. I will definitely be going here MANY times in the future.

I am OBSESSED with this place. I had no idea what to expect going to Archery Tag. But they ensure that you have all the training you need to get on the turf and have fun games. I think what really made this experience is that we joined a great group of 17 others (it was just two in our group) so it was pretty much a full game! they have different games that they walk you though so that you can mix it up and play with different set ups.My only recommendation is that I wish the games were longer. Maybe if there isnt another session afterwards, give people the option to play certain games longer.

Review №33

This was tons of fun! We went with a small group (3), and overall it was high energy with 20 people total. They have a variety of game types, but it is pretty much the same - like dodgeball. Big workout!There is a sudden death match at the end, and my only complaint is that they ended it before there was a last man standing...would make more sense to let it finish. We will go back!!

Review №37

Had an incredible time here today. The game is like dodgeball with bows. Anyone can shoot the bow fairly easily and practice beforehand. We played about 5 different modes of games with random teams. First game no one got out when hit, second game used all defensive barriers you can hide behind, third we were allowed to rearrange the barriers, fourth used no barriers, and the fifth was a kind of free-for-all where you could change teams. Definitely worth playing for all ages and genders!

Did the boom room escape room. All the puzzles worked (as in no mechanical issues) logical solutions and we were so close to getting out too, another 3 minutes and we would have gotten there.

The overall idea is great, unique and we had fun games overall. However our experience was somehow ruined by a terrible customer service who just loves to yell at people and keep reiterating how we are wasting our time. All of the team members are new to this archery games, what can you expect? Not to mention we already fully paid our session.

Review №41

We came here for a team outing and it was way more fun than anticipated!! First, we were walked through the basics of shooting with a bow and then there were a bunch of different styles of games we played. Each game was a take on dodgeball-style elimination game, but with enough tweaks to keep things interesting round after round.We did so much running and shooting, we were dead exhuasted by the end! Would definitely come back here again!!

Review №45

I cant recommend this place enough. I had my 30th birthday party at Archery Games and had an absolute blast. The staff was really nice and responsive via email prior to the event, putting aside a party table for my group, and once we arrived, they got through training and outfitting us efficiently. There are a good variety of games they put us through with some interesting mechanics such as introducing a medic or having fireballs (basically dodgeballs). For days afterwards my friends were telling me how sore they were, so be prepared for a work out!We got a discount price of $20 per person for the session (which lasted well over an hour of game play) although the typical rate is $27. Enter through the Dollar General and the door to Archery Games is on your right!

Really fun, but super rude staff (the female one; the guy was cool). If you want to have a service business, learn to be nicer to your customers, especially if youre a new business
