Best Fun Group Activities in Manchester
Introducing The Archertype – Manchester’s Ultimate Group Fun Destination
The Archertype is where adrenaline meets laughter. It’s home to two unmissable experiences: Combat Archery and Outplayed The Gameshow.
What is Combat Archery?
Imagine dodgeball and archery had a baby—that’s combat archery. You get a bow, foam-tipped arrows, and the mission to dodge, duck, and shoot your way to victory.
Outplayed The Gameshow Experience
If you’ve ever shouted at the TV thinking you’d win a game show, this is your chance. Outplayed makes you the star, with trivia, challenges, and faceoffs that bring the spotlight right to your group.
Combat Archery at The Archertype
How the game works
Two teams face off in a fast-paced battle, firing foam-tipped arrows while diving behind barriers. It’s safe, hilarious, and gets your heart racing.
Perfect for birthdays, stags, hens, and families
Whether you’re planning a stag do, a family day out, or a birthday bash, combat archery brings out everyone’s competitive (and silly) side.
Safety and family-friendly environment
The equipment is designed with safety in mind. Foam-tipped arrows mean no bruises, just laughter. Trained hosts keep the fun flowing smoothly.
