Organising to play paintball for a group can sometimes feel like you’re herding cats. We have tried to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible. You can book online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Or if you’d prefer to talk to a real person, we’re happy to take you call between 7am and 7pm.
On the day, checking into paintball involves signing waivers, paying for paintball packages/protection/upgrades, getting kitted out, and attending a mandatory safety briefing, after which you’ll head out to the fields to start playing games that are fully supervised by a referee, there are breaks in between games to give you the chance to reload and rehydrate.
1. Organising a Session
- Pick a Date/Time: We recommend you book at least 2 weeks in advance to make sure you get the date and time that you want.
- Secure Session: Pay a deposit to secure your spots, you can pay on the day or collect the funds from everyone
- Collect Funds: If possible collect money from everyone and pay the full amount at least 3 days in advance to take advantage of our group prepaid deals.
2. Arrival & Check-in
- Sign in: Turn up at least 15 to 30 minutes before check-in time.
- Waivers: Everyone (including parents for kids) signs liability waivers, agreeing to follow safety rules.
- Payment: Pay for your package, protection items and/or upgrades.
3. Gear Up & Safety Briefing
- Get equipped: Put on overalls (if hired) and paintball harness, then make sure your mask fits properly.
- Safety first: You’ll attend a compulsory safety briefing covering field rules, how to use markers, and what to do when you get shot.
4. Gameplay
- Game Start: A referee (Paintball Host) explains scenario rules (e.g., capture the flag) and referees the games.
- Game Flow: Sessions have 6 x 10 minute games, broken into 3 sets with short rest breaks for refills and to allow everyone to rehydrate.
- Extra Paintballs: You start with a set amount and can get more either during the game or breaks, you can pay for extra paintballs at the end of the session.
Key Things to Know
- BYO Paintball Masks: Must be specific paintball masks with chin strap.
- Paintballs: Only use paint purchased at the field; bringing your own is NOT allowed.
- On-Field: Listen to your referee; they manage the game and keep players safe. Failure to follow the rules will result in a player being asked to leave the game zone.
- Call Your Hits: You’re “out” when hit and marked by paint.
