Meet The Iconic Stork

Legend has it, the shoebill stork landed at House Rules after a world tour of the most offbeat, high-stakes games across every continent. With a sharp eye for competition and an even sharper sense of style, he brought the best back with him—curated, refined, and ready for anyone bold enough to play. Now he rules the house, watching over every match, toast, and memory in the making.

What The House Guests Are Saying

"Had a team work event here and it was a blast! I think it's really neat they have ice curling in addition to axe throwing and duckpin bowling... Check-in was easy and the employees were super friendly and welcoming. We even ordered some food items and definitely recommend the funnel fries! I'd love to bring the family back for some fun!"

- Sara M.

“We booked House Rules for a corporate outing and it did not disappoint. From planning to execution, the service was exceptional—Sam helped us build a custom package that hit every note. The games (Duckpin, Ice Curling, Axe Throwing) were a blast, and the food exceeded expectations—especially the deep-dish pizza and insanely good chicken tenders. The space felt personal and well-designed, and the staff made us feel like VIPs. Highly recommend for team outings or group events!”

- Travis Morris, GoDaddy

"I went here for a group event earlier this month and had a blast here! Extra shout out to the staff that helped us learn how to properly curl and axe throw, they were patient and friendly. I love that we could also grab food and a drink while we were playing around. This is such a great place to host a group of friends or work teams!"

- Carly W.

My friends and I did a thing Saturday night and that would be ice curling! After spotting a quick reel on IG that Lane Park had made recently, we all thought, "What? You can do this here?" and we made reservations! The decor was fun inside and there were other games like duck pin bowling and axe throwing available if we wanted to stay longer. We had so much fun and will definitely return!

- Jennifer H.

My son is on the spectrum and found a real talent Bowling , something he was excellent at beating his siblings at something was a special moment for him. Will definitely come back... The memory making was a definite 5."
