10 Fun Activities & Games in Winnipeg That You Shouldn't Miss

May 28, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Any city that can be the butt of a Simpson's joke ("That's it! We're all going back to Winnipeg!") and simultaneously one of the most vibrant cultural centers in Canada is tops in our book. The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honorary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.

The Real Escape Canada

Your team will be locked in a mysterious room filled with puzzles and clues. YOU HAVE 60 MINUTES TO ESCAPE. Use logic, skill, speed and teamwork to master the game and complete the tasks required to walk out the final door before the hour ends.

I went for my birthday with 5 of my friends and we did 4 rooms; Escape Death Row, Nuclear Meltdown, The Bank Heist, and The Spaceship. Each room was very unique and had it's own style of puzzles, story line, and reasons to love them. My favourites of the 4 had to be Death Row and Spaceship due to the amount of teamwork and communication needed! Will definitely be back in the fall to tackle more!

Bad Axe Throwing

Axe Throwing is a sport generally associated with loggers and lumberjacks, but we've brought the sport to Winnipeg (6-1393 Border Street) and turned it into a fun and exciting activity far more satisfying than miniature golf and laser tag. Bad Axe throwing is rated top-ranked activity for "Fun Activities & Games” according to TripAdvisor. It has proven popular with social gatherings along the lines of team-building exercises and birthday events. We have qualified instructors that will teach you the rules, safety precautions and basic techniques of hurling hatchets across a room, and by the end of the session participants can face off in fun games and a mini-tournament. We're the premier destination for birthday parties, corporate events, bachelor & bachelorette parties, any special occasions, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. Whether it's to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill, our unique axe throwing experience is done in a fun & casual urban atmosphere.

We strive to create the most realistic and original escape rooms out there with our off the wall ideas and innovations. From sight to sound and even smells of your chosen environment, we stimulate all your senses for a total immersive entertainment. A combination of theatrical and gaming experiences that will leave you wanting to come back and experience more.

We visited Time Lapse and chose the new room, Eye of the Spy. The experience was a great mix of atmosphere, diverse mixture of clues, effective use of props and a superb array of electronics. I've been to about a half dozen other rooms and this one blows them all away. We had made special T-shirts for our outing and the staff were very informative and engaging. I'd highly recommend trying out the latest room.

Activate is a state of the art facility with a wide variety of gaming experiences. You and your group enter inside a video game experience and become the players to actively and mentally complete challenges. Unlike virtual reality, Activate is a real life experience. Each player is given an electronic wristband synced to their player profile to track scores and game completion.

Activate is unlike any other place I’ve experienced. I’ve been here twice: once for a girls night and the second time for my boyfriend’s birthday. As a 20-something year old, it’s not easy to find group activities that don’t involve going to a bar or going to the movies. This is a fun, active, social activity with the right amount of time (90 mins) and varying levels for any age. We’re fortunate to have something like this in Winnipeg!
