Planning a night out with your crew? Whether it’s a much-needed women’s night out or a spontaneous guys’ hang, sometimes you want more than the usual dinner spot or coffee shop routine. You want energy, laughs, something new—and maybe even a little friendly competition. That’s where axe throwing comes in.
It’s not just about tossing axes at a target (though that part is super fun)—it’s about doing something active, learning a new skill, and sharing a night full of good vibes and even better stories. It’s the perfect mix of chill and exciting. You can compete, cheer each other on, grab a mocktail, bubble tea, or your favorite cold drink—then keep things laid-back and low pressure.
Tired of Googling “girls night out ideas” or “men’s activities in Libertyville”? This is your go-to guide for planning a fun, out-of-the-box night your whole group will actually look forward to.
Let’s be real—planning a night out that gets everyone excited isn’t always easy. Bowling? Done it. Dinner and the same old café? Feels the same every time. But axe throwing? That’s a fresh take on group entertainment that brings people together in the best way.
Check out our unique group axe-throwing fun packages.
Here’s why it works:
Everyone can do it.
You don’t have to be strong or athletic to enjoy axe throwing. It’s all about trying something new, laughing off the misses, and celebrating the wins—big or small.
It’s the ultimate icebreaker.
Even if some folks don’t know each other well, a shared goal (like landing a bullseye) gets everyone cheering and connecting fast.
There’s never a dull moment.
Between throws, you can chat, grab a drink, and take photos. It’s social, but not slow. And when someone finally sticks their first axe? The energy goes way up.
It feels like a night out—with a twist.
You’re still getting out of the house, still laughing with friends, but you’re doing something unique. And that’s the stuff great memories are made of.
Axe throwing fits seamlessly into any fun Libertyville evening hangout plan—plus, it works for birthday bashes, reunions, or just random “we need a night out” nights.
If you're looking to elevate your next women’s night out, axe throwing is a killer place to start. It’s bold, empowering, and seriously fun. Here are a few creative ways to shake things up:
Kick off the night with snacks or a charcuterie board at home, then hit Timberjaxe ready to throw. Food + fun = perfection.
Matching flannels or color-coded outfits? Instant photo magic. And flannel just feels right for tossing axes.
Build a shared Spotify playlist in advance so everyone can vibe out to their favorite songs while throwing. Bonus: It makes the night feel personal.
Whoever lands a bullseye gets to assign a fun, wholesome challenge—like choosing the next dessert spot, sharing a fun fact, or giving out sincere compliments.
Create a mini challenge: best “throw face,” best celebration dance, or best team pose. Instant Instagram gold.
End the night with face masks, smoothies, and a cozy movie night back home. Wild start, relaxing finish—perfect combo.
These ideas make party nights more than just drinks and dinner—they become stories you’ll still be laughing about next month.
If you're planning a guys’ night and want to do something cooler than “just the usual,” axe throwing is a top-tier move. It blends competition, chill time, and epic energy. Here’s how to level it up:
Throw + Scoop
Start with axe throwing, then treat yourselves to a local ice cream shop. It’s a fun way to catch up and end the night on a sweet note.
Make it a bracket-style competition—winner gets bragging rights, The loser treats the group to the next round of desserts or snacks.
Once you're done at Timberjaxe, head back for poker, video games, or fantasy football trash talk.
Go full lumberjack or Norse warrior—yes, it’s goofy. But it's hilarious, and the photos will be legendary.
Throw first, grill after. Burgers, soda, and bullseyes? That’s a proper men’s activity lineup.
Add fun twists: every bullseye lets you assign a trivia question, dare, or ridiculous challenge.
Whether it’s for a birthday, bachelor party, or just a Tuesday with the crew, these party ideas will set the tone for an epic night.
