Below is a quick update on the operation of Krazy Darts in our Rochester and Buffalo, New York venues.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For the first time since installing Krazy Darts in our Rochester, NY venue 16 months ago, Krazy Darts has had more plays than Axe Throwing during our first holiday week break (337 Krazy Darts plays to 287 for Axe Throwing plays – revenue was at 78.4% of Axe Throwing revenue).<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Depending on which of our two most popular offers are purchased, we charge $20 to $25 dollars for 85 minutes of Axe Throwing and $15 to $20 for 55 minutes of Krazy Darts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

As I mentioned above, it took <\/span>16 months for Krazy Darts to get to this level of utilization compared to our Axe Throwing<\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To date, Krazy Darts has not beaten Axe Throwing based on total revenue earned; however, over the last 4 weeks Krazy Darts has averaged about 83% of our Axe Throwing revenue. If you factor in the extra labor for an Axe-Pert for Axe Throwing and other maintenance costs, it generated approximately the same amount of net cash flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Krazy Darts is <\/span>NEW<\/span> and Unknown<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Krazy Darts is becoming a solid Social Gaming experience for our two venues; however, it has <\/span>taken some time<\/span> for people to <\/span>understand what it is<\/span> and,<\/span> most importantly, how much fun it is to play<\/span> with friends, family, and coworkers.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We are seeing the same increase in plays at our Buffalo venue, but Buffalo is about 9 months behind. This is due to the fact that Buffalo only had 2 Krazy Darts to start – one was the prototype and the other was our pre-production model. We added 4 of our Version 2 Krazy Darts in May 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As you can see below, all 4 Krazy Darts are lined up in a row. One of the keys to making Krazy Darts work is making it look super impressive as well as grouping them together for larger groups to be able to play in the same space. It\u2019s also helpful to see one or more lanes already being played – it gets other guests to watch and become interested in reserving their own Krazy Darts\u2019 lane.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We kept the pre-production model operating in another area of our venue, but removed the prototype Krazy Darts and replaced it with our Krazy Axes VIP (Version 3) pre-production model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Krazy Axes VIP is being used for real-world ongoing testing by our guests and our guests are paying full price to play it. We should have a total of 15 updated and new games with more advanced graphics and game play by the end of January. We will also be installing our first 2D physics engine game, which will be a Plinko game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Krazy Axes VIP lanes are 2 feet wider than our standard Krazy Axes, which enables a significantly improved Social Gaming experience.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Important note:<\/span> In our Buffalo venue we are also testing a new software feature requested by one of our newest Krazy Darts\u2019 operators. This new feature displays a message that says, <\/span>“Your time has expired – If you would like to extend your play time please see a Staff member.”<\/span> A countdown clock also appears showing how much time they have to add more time before the game will reset. We just started using this feature in our Buffalo venue and multiple groups have already paid to extend their playing time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Krazy Darts Needs to be Experienced<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Once we get a group of people to try Krazy Darts, they <\/span>REALLY LIKE<\/span> it! BUT, they have to experience it to know how much fun it is to play. Nothing like Krazy Darts has ever existed before, which means there is an awareness learning curve. Playing the game is actually pretty easy, but we have to help our guests get over the first hurdle of \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A few Krazy Darts\u2019 operators have been providing their guests with the opportunity to try it for free for 15 minutes. Once their guests experience how much fun it is to play, many purchase a session immediately. We have also started to do this at both of our venues as much as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At our Rochester venue, our Krazy Darts\u2019 revenue in year two is growing at over 50% compared to the first year, but it could be growing even faster if we put more effort into promoting it. Other than weekly email promotions and promoting Krazy Darts on our website along with all our other experiences, we haven\u2019t done much to promote it. The fact that it is doing significantly better in the second year demonstrates its ability to promote itself via our guests’ positive word of mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We don’t know what is going to happen over the next 16 months, but we can assure you that we will continue to make improvements that will make both our Krazy Darts and Krazy Axes even better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Coming Soon – New Social Gaming!<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We are also developing two new Social Gaming experiences that we will be testing in our venues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our third Social Gaming experience will be called Krazy Arrowz VIP, which is a real bow and arrow target shooting game with a giant 7.5 foot by 7.5 foot target area. We will be installing (4) Krazy Arrowz VIP lanes in our Rochester, New York venue by the end of March. The goal is to introduce Krazy Arrowz VIP to our guests to validate its ability to generate profitable revenue.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Krazy Arrowz will utilize the same software and hardware platform we developed for Krazy Darts. It will only be available to purchase in our VIP format. The goal is to only develop Social Gaming experiences that far exceed \u201cgood enough\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our fourth Social Gaming experience will be Krazy Talk\u2019n Blox, which is our unique take on a gamified version of a block stacking game. This game will begin live testing in our Buffalo, New York venue this coming summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our goal is to provide our Operators with the very best Social Gaming experiences – ones that far exceed what is currently being offered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Update: Krazy Darts – New White Dartboard Panels<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our new dartboard panels are lasting far longer and look dramatically better than the original panel design. These new panels make Krazy Darts a very low maintenance attraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As always, we are going to continue to improve what\u2019s working the best and we are going to do it as fast as we can. <\/span>If that means taking a big leap in design or adopting new technologies that significantly upgrade the experience, then we will do it to make sure we maintain and increase our lead for the sake of our clients\u2019 venues as well as our own.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Best Owners\/Operators<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our mission is to work with the <\/span>Best Owners\/Operators<\/span> by providing them with truly unique and proprietary Social Gaming and Attraction experiences that can only be found in their venues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our Responsibilities<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our Manufacturing company\u2019s task is to create the best Social Gaming and Attraction experiences – ones that are <\/span>truly unique and 10x better than what exists today and hopefully far into the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our Operating company\u2019s focus is to figure out <\/span>how to operate our Social Gaming and Attraction experiences at the highest level possible.<\/span> Our Operating company provides ongoing, real-world operational feedback on how our Manufacturing company can improve our Social Gaming and Attraction experiences so they can perform even better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Finally, our goal is to offer our Social Gaming and Attraction experiences to the Best Owners\/Operators and provide them with <\/span>the same opportunity we provide ourselves, which is to operate them <\/span>exclusively<\/span> within their own protected market areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
