You already know Davison. The Cardinals on Friday nights. The morning line at Davison Home Bakery — and yes, you’ve checked whether your name is the Name of the Day. Whitey’s fish and chips. The trails at Jack Abernathy Park. Main Street in October when Pumpkinfest takes over and the whole town shows up.
Davison people know how to be part of a community. What they’ve been missing is a place to go — just 8 miles west on I-69 — that turns a regular night into a memory.
That’s Spymaker. Axe throwing, escape rooms, super-sized darts, a full bar, and weekly events that give your calendar a reason worth protecting. The group chat says “we should get together soon.” We’re the place that makes soon happen.
14 minutes from downtown Davison. Worth every one of them.
1235 S. Center Rd, Burton, MI 48509 · (810) 620-0877 · 8 miles from Davison via I-69 E · Open Tuesday–Sunday
Axe Throwing
Nobody walks in knowing what they’re doing — that’s exactly why it works so well for a group. Within twenty minutes, most people have stuck their first clean throw and are already planning their revenge on whoever just beat them. Our coaches are with you from the first axe to the last bullseye, and the energy in the room when a Davison group gets competitive is something you have to see to believe.
Escape Rooms
Three fully immersive rooms — each one its own world, its own story, its own set of puzzles that require every person in the room working together. We’ve had Davison couples start a date night here and walk out with a story they’ve told a hundred times since. We’ve had someone propose inside one of our rooms. Sixty minutes, a locked door, and the people you brought with you. What happens next is up to all of you.
Super Sized Darts
Classic pub darts scaled up to the point where it takes over the evening. Easy to learn, hard to put down, and the perfect anchor for a group that wants something social and competitive without the learning curve. Davison people who came in planning to throw axes for an hour have ended up at the dart wall until close. It happens constantly.
The Bar & Lounge
Cold drinks, the right energy, and a room full of people who actually came out to be somewhere. The bar is woven through the whole experience — where you celebrate the bullseye, where you debrief after the escape room, where the night stretches past when anyone planned to leave because nobody’s ready to go.
Weekly Events
Axe Trivia and Figure It Out Friday are the weekly events that Davison regulars have started to protect on their calendars. Check the schedule before you come — landing on an event night turns a good visit into a genuinely great one.
We’re proud to be the top-rated entertainment venue near Davison. With easy access right off I-69 and a growing list of 5-star reviews, it’s no surprise our fans return again and again. Our axe coaches are trained to deliver a flawless experience — from pre-game briefing to post-kill shot celebration photos.

Eight miles on I-69 and you’re somewhere completely different from anywhere else in Genesee County. The bar is right there when you want to slow down and enjoy where the night has taken you.

Eight miles from downtown Davison, and worth every one of them.
Team building near Davison
