2. Turn Your Anniversary Into an Axe-Throwing Competition
A little friendly competition never hurt a relationship.
Challenge your partner to an axe-throwing experience and discover who has the better aim.
Beginners receive instructions, and private throwing lanes provide an opportunity to enjoy the activity together.
For couples who want both activities, The Smashit House offers a Rage + Axe date-night combination.
Anniversary challenge: The winner gets to choose dessert. The loser has to admit who really has the better aim.
