The staff couldn't be more helpful especially Jamie,but the owner was a tad arrogant and rude to his staff in front of us.

If you’re visiting Hereford you have to pay a visit to Matrix for some axe throwing. My other half had always wanted to try it so we did! Jamie was great when we came in asking how to book, he was really friendly and helpful advising us to book online and check out some of the bundle offers etc. We we returned the next day, Ali got us set up with the Axe throwing, helping us with some hints and tips on hitting the target and was just friendly and chatty. We also had a go at the mini golf, which was fun (could do with some more interesting obstacles though) The whole place was a lot of fun, and not ridiculously over priced. They had a good selection of drinks and some food, the little arcade had some great games including the 2p slot sliders!It was just an all round great experience (so great in fact we went back the next day to do some MORE axe throwing - yeah, the other half REALLY enjoyed it 😂)!

On arriving my daughter was greeted by ‘Your shoes are awful!’ I thought that was a very rude comment to make to a paying customer and not a nice way to be greeted by a member of staff. Shame as it put a bit of a dampener on my daughters afternoon celebrating her birthday 😢

I had a great time here with my niece and nephew. They were a bit shy around the other kids, but Jamie was instrumental in ensuring that they had fun. He made them laugh and kept their nerves at bay by calming down a bunch of kids who were a little out of control, demonstrating more patience than I ever could. I will definitely come back.

We were made to feel very unwelcome (by everyone apart from the lovely girl with the blonde hair) and weren’t allowed to sing happy birthday to my son on his 11th birthday! The activity (laser quest) was fun but the floors were very slippery. After spending £250 on food and a private room I was very disappointed.

Me and some mates went for the walk in approach for some good old laser tag, games were good fun overall. Staff are super friendly, (Jamie who was helping us out at the time gave our group a Kevin Bacon No. of 3 absolute bizzare theory look it up!). Game was so good we decided to stay for mini-golf after a panicked sprint through hereford to extend our parking tickets 😅. Overall good fun with mates and Just overall a great hangout spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alice Baker

Group of 4, 1st visit and was thoroughly impressed with the price and facilities.We tried our luck at a walk in booking for axe throwing and got an earlier slot than the website had which was awesome.The price was great for the time we had (roughly an hour) but they were not in a rush for us to finish so could have stayed much longer.Bar was next to the axe throwing area and we were allowed to drink and had a laugh with the staff.The staff were all extremely helpful and introduced us to the axe throwing area.We were hosted by Jamie who showed us the ropes and the set up and gave plenty of tips and advice. His patience with semi drunk lads on a birthday outing was very impressive!The games were on an interactive projection over a board with a selection of different style point scoring or themed games.We stuck to the standard as the others seemed a bit advanced for our shoddy aim.All in all a great place for a small group and would definitely go back to have another go.

Booked the zombie laser tag party package for my sons 9th birthday and all the boys had a fantastic time. Jamie did a brilliant job looking after the boys in the arena and was also attentive to us making sure we had everything we needed for when they came out. All the staff we came across were excellent, very happy, welcoming and easy to talk to, nothing was too much and always smiling which is great! Brilliant afternoon. would defiantly recommend!

I recently went to Matrix as part of a works night out and it was great fun. We did laser tag which was really sweaty so definitely recommend spare clothes in you plan on going out after. The guy who took us for laser tag was Jamie who was a great laugh and really kept the funs atmosphere up. They also have a really nice bar at the back with axe throwing. Nice to have something in Hereford actually worth doing
