Looking for a fresh idea for your next team-building event?
Forget trust falls and awkward icebreakers — there’s a new way to bring your team together, and it involves axes, laughter, and a little friendly competition.
At The Iron House in Hibbing, MN, we’ve hosted countless corporate outings, and one thing is clear: axe throwing isn’t just fun — it’s one of the BEST ways to build stronger, more connected teams.
Here are the top 5 reasons why axe throwing should be your next team-building activity.
1️⃣ It Gets Everyone Out of Their Comfort Zone
Traditional team-building activities often feel stale. Axe throwing is something new, exciting, and just a little daring.
When your team tries something different together, it sparks conversations and shared experiences. Suddenly, the new hire and the department head are cheering each other on.
✅ Breaking down barriers = better workplace chemistry.
2️⃣ It Creates Friendly Competition
Competition isn’t a bad thing — it’s a motivator. Axe throwing sets the perfect stage for low-stakes, high-fun competition.
Teams cheer, celebrate each bullseye, and maybe even start some playful rivalries. That kind of energy carries back into the office, where collaboration feels more natural.
✅ A little competition can bring out teamwork you didn’t know existed.
3️⃣ It’s Perfect for Every Skill Level
No athletic ability? No problem. Axe throwing is surprisingly easy to learn with the right guidance.
At The Iron House, our axe coaches teach everyone the basics and ensure safety — meaning your whole team can join in, regardless of age, fitness, or experience.
✅ Everyone participates. No one feels left out.
4️⃣ It Doubles as a Social Hour
Team-building shouldn’t feel like work. When you host your outing at The Iron House, you can throw axes AND enjoy craft cocktails, beer, and great food.
Instead of a forced networking lunch, you get a relaxed, social atmosphere where conversations flow naturally between throws.
✅ Work bonding without the awkwardness.
5️⃣ It Makes Your Team Feel Appreciated
Team members remember when their leaders invest in their happiness. Planning a unique, fun event like axe throwing shows your team that you care about their experience, not just their productivity.
✅ Happy teams = loyal teams.
