    Blow stuff up, drink beer, try something new

    People. It's an experience where you get to throw things at other things, but they blow up. Work on your form, drink a beer, have a laugh, and don't take life too seriously.

    Too fun!

    Tejo is a Blast!

    It is so much fun to set off an explosion by hitting the target that you end up high-fiving the other teams hits too!
