Winner's Circle Colorado

The story

You wouldn't necessarily expect a retired Air Force officer and a local dentist to assemble a Frankenstein monster of indoor athletics, but that is precisely what Adam and Leslie Schubert put together inside the former Wild Game building at Ken Pratt Boulevard and Hover Street. Rather than settling on a single theme, they shoved almost every oddball physical game that doesn't require actual grass or ice under a single roof.

The main draw is duckpin bowling—the stubby, frantic alternative to ten-pin where you hurl palm-sized balls without finger holes down shortened lanes at squat pins, getting three rolls per frame to clear the deck. Right nearby, the axe-throwing lanes swap traditional painted targets for overhead projectors that cast interactive games like tic-tac-toe and moving bullseyes onto raw wood, scoring your throws automatically when the blade bites the timber.

If throwing sharp steel isn't your speed, the indoor curling pad strips away the ice, the heavy brooms, and the thermal layers entirely. You glide stones down a dry synthetic surface that operates like an oversized shuffleboard court, leaving you to compete without freezing or falling on your rear. Wrap that around an upstairs lounge space, a massive downstairs horseshoe bar with sports screens, and a 50-game arcade floor, and the result feels like an indoor stadium built for hyper-specific rivalries.
