[Terre Haute, Indiana] - Diverted River today announced a strategic integration between its Takoha platform and Champ Throw's live interactive throwing games, designed to redefine the digital experience for axe throwing and other projectile-based attractions at Family Entertainment Centers.
The integration enhances Champ Throw's innovative projection-based interactive throwing system with seamless digital connectivity to venue-wide systems. Through an integrated booking and waiver system, players can easily schedule sessions and complete safety documentation digitally. Once on-site, their scores and achievements are automatically tracked and rewarded through the venue's branded mobile app.
"This integration represents the next evolution in modern axe throwing entertainment," said Zack Johnson, CEO of Diverted River. "Today's venue operators know their guests don't want to juggle multiple apps for different attractions. Through Champ Throw's innovative API infrastructure and our Takoha platform, venues can now offer their guests a single, unified digital experience - their own branded mobile app in the app store, powered by Diverted River, showcasing data from Champ Throw alongside all other integrated attractions."
"Champ Throw has revolutionized axe throwing with our interactive projection system and automated scoring," said Alexander Maslinkovsky, CEO of Champ Throw. "Our partnership with Diverted River takes this innovation further by fully integrating axe throwing and other projectile-based attractions into the broader digital ecosystem of entertainment venues, creating even more opportunities for player engagement and business growth."
Key features of the integration include:
The integration streamlines operations for venue owners while enhancing the guest experience. From initial booking through gameplay achievements, the system creates additional value through digital tickets and achievement tracking, encouraging repeat visits and longer player engagement.

"By integrating with venue-wide systems and branded apps, we're helping venues build stronger relationships with their customers while maximizing the return on their axe throwing investment."
