As part of our ongoing "Getting to Know Your Local Businesses" series, this week we sat down with
Christi and Todd Byers, owner of Axe-Mania!


Tell us a bit about your business:  What does your business offer, and how long have you been around?
Axe-Mania is an axe-throwing entertainment venue designed for families, friends, and fun-seekers of all skill levels!  We offer a one-of-a-kind experience featuring digital projected targets, multiple game modes, and an exciting atmosphere that keeps things fresh and engaging. Whether you're a seasoned axe thrower or a total beginner, our friendly staff is here to guide you through the fun.

Beyond axe throwing, we also provide free arcade games, a great selection of local beers, and a laid-back, welcoming vibe perfect for date nights, family outings, group events, or even stress relief after a long day! We've been proudly serving the Kingwood community since January 2025,  bringing people together for unforgettable experiences. Whether you're looking to test your skills, challenge your friends, or just have a blast, Axe-Mania is the place to be!

How did you decide to get involved in this line of work? How did the business get started?
Axe-Mania was born out of a love for fun, unique experiences and a desire to bring something exciting to the Kingwood community. The idea sparked from seeing how axe throwing was growing in popularity, but we wanted to take it to the next level—making it more interactive, family-friendly, and engaging for everyone, not just hardcore axe throwers.

With that vision, we created a space where anyone can have a blast, whether it’s their first time throwing an axe or they’re a seasoned pro. We incorporated digital projected targets and multiple game modes to keep things freshand exciting. Plus, we added free arcade games, great local beers, and a fun atmosphere to make Axe-Mania more than just an axe-throwing venue—it’s a full-on entertainment experience!

We got started because we wanted to bring people together, give families and friends a new way to connect, and create a place where people walk in curious and leave raving about the fun they had. So far, it’s been an amazing journey, and we love seeing all the smiles, bullseyes, and friendly competitions that happen here every day!


Tell us a couple things you are proud of about your business. What are you known for? What separates you from the competition?

At Axe-Mania, we’re proud to offer a fun, family-friendly experience that goes beyond traditional axe throwing.  When someone enters Axe-Mania, we want them to feel like family.   Here are a couple of things that make us stand out:

1. Interactive, Digital Axe Throwing
We don’t just have static wooden targets with circles painted on boards—we use digital projected targets with multiple game modes, making every visit fresh and exciting. Whether you're aiming for a bullseye or playing interactive games like tic-tac-toe or zombies, there’s always a new challenge!

2. A Welcoming, Fun Atmosphere
Axe throwing can seem intimidating, but at Axe-Mania, everyone feels at home. Our friendly and experienced staff makes sure even first-timers feel comfortable and confident. Whether you’re here for a casual night out or a competitive showdown, we’re all about good vibes and great times.

3. More Than Just Axe Throwing
We take entertainment seriously! Along with axe throwing, we offer free arcade games, great local beers, snacks, and a killer playlist to keep the energy high. It’s a full entertainment experience, not just a one-time activity.

4. Community-Focused
We love being part of the Kingwood community and strive to create a place where friends, families, and coworkers can come together for something unique. Whether it’s hosting birthday parties, corporate events, or date nights, we make sure every guest has a smile when they leave!

At the end of the day, we’re all about making memories, sharing laughs, and bringing people together for an unforgettable experience! That’s what sets Axe-Mania apart.

What is your favorite part of running this business?

The best part of running Axe-Mania is seeing people come in unsure or curious and leave laughing, high-fiving, and already planning their next visit!

We love watching first-timers nail their first bullseye, friends and families bonding over friendly competition, and even total strangers cheering each other on. There’s something special about the energy in the room when people let loose, try something new, and just have a blast together.

Another favorite part is getting to know our community—from locals stopping in for a fun night out to couplescelebrating date nights and companies hosting team-building events. It’s amazing to see how axe throwing brings people together in a way that’s both exciting and unique.

And, of course, we can’t forget the fun atmosphere—the mix of great music, free arcade games, awesome local beers, and a welcoming vibe makes every day at Axe-Mania feel more like hosting a big, fun gathering rather than just running a business.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple: create an unforgettable experience that keeps people coming back. Seeing the smiles, hearing the laughs, and watching people make memories—that’s what makes it all worth it!

Who is your ideal customer/client? Who do you serve best?

Absolutely! As the owners of Axe-Mania, We have always had a passion for creating fun, engaging experiences that bring people together. My background is rooted in customer service, entertainment, and a love for interactive activities, which is what inspired us to bring axe throwing with a twist to the Kingwood community.

We wanted to build a place that’s welcoming to everyone—whether you’re a first-time thrower, a group looking for something fun to do, or even a seasoned pro looking for a challenge. Our goal has always been to create a space where people can laugh, compete, and make memories, all while enjoying a laid-back, exciting atmosphere.
Beyond the business, We love meeting new people, seeing first-timers hit their first bullseye, and making sure every guest leaves with a story to tell. It’s incredibly rewarding to see families, friends, and coworkers come in, have a blast, and immediately start planning their next visit.
