Virtual Axe Throwing!
The world around your arcade is growing! Real world axe-throwing pioneers, BATL, have moved into the neighbourhood and are open for business! Thanks to the success of your arcade, the area around your venue is beginning to attract top entertainment brands.
Now it’s up to you to unleash your inner lumberjack! Grab some friends and venture out into the street to explore the neighbourhood where you'll find BATL Axe Throwing, the real-life axe throwing chain, and inventors of the sport! Select from a variety of axes, step up to the line and throw, savoring the resounding thud of steel embedding into the timber target.
Here's what's you can expect in axe throwing:

Play solo or with up to 4 people in multiplayer.
Standard axes available to use immediately.
Ten incredibly weird and wonderful axes have been added to your prize store.
Traditional axe throwing lanes and a super-sized axe throwing gallery.
Get big discounts in-game to use at real-world BATL locations for axe throwing IRL!
Enjoy a soundscape that any urban lumberjack is sure to love!
Classic axe throwing games mixed with new arcadified formats:

Standard BATL – High score competition on official IATF Targets.
Classic Target – Smaller scoring rings with more point variations.
Tic-Tac-Toe – The classic head-to-head game puts accuracy to the test!
Bullseye Blitz – A giant bullseye that increases in value but shrinks in size with each hit!
Ultra BATL – Get ready... this target is larger-than-life!
10 incredible axes to redeem with tickets in your prize store!
Laugh with friends, make some new ones, and compete for top scores and bragging rights! Let the axe-citement begin!
About BATL Axe Throwing
BATL founded the sport of urban axe throwing in 2006 as The Backyard Axe Throwing League, and are a proud founding member of the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF), the sport's official governing body. Now simply known as BATL Axe Throwing, they have 17 locations across the U.S. and Canada, with more coming in the future! Want to go axe throwing IRL? There might be a BATL location near you - check them out at www.batlgrounds.com

Arcade Legend's Road to Next Fest 2021!
