You’ll eliminate the players you hit and can only win back your own players by catching one of the enemies’ arrows. Have you got what it takes?

For anyone who isn’t afraid of heights, head to Go Ape and challenge yourself with a treetop high rope course where you’ll scale crazy heights and take on rope bridges and Tarzan swings. If that’s not your kind of thing and you’d rather exercise your grey matter, take on the challenge of an escape room. You’ll have just one hour to hunt for clues and solve riddles and puzzles before time runs out or you’ll be locked in forever…Ok, you won’t really be locked in but it’s way more fun to think of it that way!
