DodgeArrows Vs. Bowling
Each year we cycle through the same and the same indoor venues to celebrate our special occasions. Bowling is one popular destination in Severna Park, but just how many birthday parties can you have at the alley? We all know that one friend is going to obliterate everyone AGAIN and you’ll be stuck in third or fourth just like last year.
Debating on which indoor activity to book with friends? Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, graduation, or just hanging out with friends, it’s time to switch it up. It’s time to welcome DodgeArrows to the Severna Park area: for your next celebration, skip the bowling and embark on your epic adventure at DodgeArrows Annapolis!
First, wondering exactly what DodgeArrows is? Check out my last blogpost (link) recounting my first experience or click here to learn more!
Why DodgeArrows is the Superior Sport
1. Team-Bonding and Friendship Strengthening
Nothing strengthens relationships like friendly, lighthearted competition! The game of DodgeArrows involves acting as a team to strategize and take down the other side, unlike in bowling where it’s every man for themselves. Overcoming challenges and sharing in moments of triumph and defeat cultivates a deeper sense of unity and connection amongst any group of people. That being said, DodgeArrows would be the perfect activity for sports teams, work friends, or classmates to get in some valuable team-bonding. There’s nothing like a good laugh seeing your coworkers and team members loosen up and have fun outside their normal environmen

2. It gets you active
DodgeArrows gets you moving no other game! During each round you’ll be speeding across the turf, dodging arrows, kneeling for shelter and shooting at new targets. That being said, gameplay is only as intense as you make it. So, no worries if you aren’t the most athletic of the bunch! You’ll get in a full body workout while having fun with friends. What could be better?
Bowling is just the opposite. Depending on how many people you’re playing with, you can spend up to 90% of the time sitting down, bored, just waiting for your turn. Now what’s the fun in that??
3. A Better form of Socializing
Sure, you can talk with friends as you sit and wait for your turn to bowl, but conversation is frequently interrupted by each player leaving to hit their pins. How annoying is it to reenter a conversation every time you get up for your one minute playtime? Instead, DodgeArrows separates play and conversation, allowing for greater engagement. On the turf, you get the excitement of all-inclusive group competition and teasing banter. Then, afterwards you can debrief with players on the events of the game and converse as you wish!
4. The Novelty- A new experience
DodgeArrows is unlike any other sport. Apart from bowling, there’s also the slightly less traversed minigolf and lasertag, but how often can you cycle through the same three things? Nonetheless, they are also incredibly outdated. Did you know the earliest form of bowling can be traced back to ancient Germany in 3200 BC?Even the “modern” rendition made its way to America in the 17th century! So, be unique and get all your friends onto a new form of sport and gameplay! DodgeArrows is a breath of fresh air and puts you to the test in engaging in a new sport. At the rate it’s growing, who knows, maybe DodgeArrows will make it to the Olympics. You could be the first to compete!
There’s a number of experiences you can book with DodgeArrows ranging from individual tickets for public play, birthday party or private group bookings, and ultimate private bookings for the most fun. Additionally, multiple forms of gameplay and different play modes allow for endless fun!
In Conclusion…

DodgeArrows is soon to be the next big thing. It’s a no-brainer. When you go bowling with a group of friends, everyone is just waiting for their turn to make a shot. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Pinstripes, Bowlero, or Lucky Strike. In bowling, there is no defense or offense strategy. All players act independently in hopes they make it out with the most points. In the end, only one player relishes in their success.
DodgeArrows, however, immerses you in an action-packed experience. You’ll never get bored and everyone eventually comes out a winner.
It’s out with the pins and in with the (soft-tipped) arrows!
