Runs at your venue
The lanes run on a computer at your venue, not in the cloud. If the internet goes down, nothing on the lanes notices.
For axe-throwing venues
Turn every lane into a game your guests come back for.
46 projected games in 8 genres, a scoring tablet on every lane and a front-desk iPad that runs the night. Built by District 306, an axe-throwing venue in Regina, Canada.
- Keeps scoring when the Wi-Fi drops
- Your logo and colours on every screen
- Sells extra time right from the lane
Tap the target where your axe landed
This is the real game engine. Two players take turns, just like on a lane.

Games that react to every throw
The target fights back: keepers dive, zombies advance, monsters dodge, runes cascade and fruit splits in half. Every hit gets its own animation and sound on the wall.
The library
46 games. Something for every group.
Classic scoring for your regulars, stadium sports, arcade action, party and board games, puzzle and match games, monsters to battle and catch, viral phone-game hits and quiz nights with topics. Tap a game to play it above.
How it works
Three screens. One night that runs itself.
Projected right onto the wood
A small PC above each pair of lanes drives the projector. Targets, scores and animations land exactly on your boards. Line them up from the iPad, with no ladder and no keyboard.
- One projector covers one or two lanes
- Sound plays on the wall, the tablet or both
- Starts by itself when the PC turns on
Guests run their own game
Each lane has a tablet. Guests type their names, pick a game and tap where each axe landed. The wall updates instantly.
- Big, simple buttons made for a loud room
- Change games any time in the session
- Keeps scoring if the Wi-Fi drops; catches up on its own
- “Call staff” and “more time” buttons
The front desk sees everything
One iPad shows every lane: who is on it, time left, what they are playing and what they owe. Today’s bookings sit beside them, ready to load.
- Add time, players, pause, move a group to another lane
- Alerts when a lane calls staff or wants more time
- Turn games on and off; see which get played most
Built for real nights
Everything a busy venue needs
Sells more time
When the clock runs low, the lane tablet offers +15, +30 or +60 minutes with the price. The front desk gets an alert and adds it in one tap.
Your brand
Your logo and venue name on the tablets, the wall and the front desk, and even on the stadium boards inside the games.
Your prices and taxes
Your own price list per person and per length, your taxes and your currency. Extra players and extra time are priced for you.
Bookings
Set up lanes by hand in seconds, or connect a booking system so groups appear on their lanes before they arrive.
Scoring that’s always right
A teammate taps where each axe landed, so every score is exactly what happened on the wood. No sensors to misread a throw, drift or break.
Projector alignment from the iPad
Line the targets up on the wood from the front desk in a couple of minutes. No ladder, no keyboard.
Staff training video
A short walkthrough of every screen, so new staff are ready on their first shift.
Taps show live on the wall
While a teammate taps where the axe landed, the ring, square or column lights up on the wood, so the whole group sees the call before it counts.
Guests rate every game
One tap when a game ends, plus a box for game ideas. You see the averages on the iPad, so you know what your crowd loves.
Bright on wood
The picture is tuned for projecting on wood with the lights on: dim scenery switches off and colours stay vivid, at your choice of brightness.
New games, one tap
New games and fixes arrive with one tap on the iPad, tested before they install. Every screen reloads by itself.
Does it pay for itself?
The more-time button alone can cover it.
Move the sliders to match your venue. This only counts extra time sold from the lane tablets.

What you need
Hardware you can buy anywhere
No marked-up kits and no per-lane licence. Buy standard, off-the-shelf hardware from any store, and one projector covers two lanes. Already have projectors and PCs from another system? They usually work. Send us the models and we’ll check.
- Mount the projector anywhere it can reach the boards. Targets are lined up on the wood in software, so the mount doesn’t have to be perfect.
- The projector PC sits on the mount and starts the games by itself when it powers on.
- The venue computer runs every lane. If the internet drops, nothing on the lanes notices.

Questions
Good to know
Do I need fast internet?
No. Everything runs on the computer at your venue over your own Wi-Fi. If the internet goes down mid-session, games, timers and scores keep going. The internet is used for updates, bookings and checking on things remotely.
What happens if a tablet loses Wi-Fi?
It keeps scoring. Throws are saved on the tablet and sent the moment it reconnects, so no game is lost. Screens reconnect by themselves.
Can I use my own projectors and tablets?
Yes. Any projector that can reach your boards works, driven by a small Windows PC. The front-desk computer can be a Windows PC or a Mac. Lane tablets can be Android or iPad. We’ll check your setup with you before you start.
How long does setup take?
Plan on about an hour once the hardware is mounted: install the Nitro Axe app on your front-desk computer and type in your venue code, install it on each projector PC, scan a QR code with each tablet, then line the targets up on the wood from the iPad. After onboarding you get a step-by-step guide written for your lanes.
Is scoring automatic?
No, on purpose. Guests score for each other on the lane tablet (buddy scoring): a teammate taps where the axe landed. It’s exact on every throw, needs no extra hardware, and keeps the group playing together.
Can I choose which games are on?
Yes. Turn any game in your plan on or off from the iPad. You’ll also see which games your guests play most.
Does it work with my booking system?
Today you can set lanes up by hand in seconds. Connections to popular booking systems are on the way; tell us which one you use when you sign up.
Can I change plans?
Yes, any time. A new plan’s games appear on your tablets straight away.
