Individuals must be at least 15 years old to participate in paintball, as mandated by Queensland state law. To verify age, photo identification is required. Furthermore, players under 18 are required to have a parent or guardian sign their waiver form. Because paintball markers are classified as firearms in Queensland, all players must be mature enough to comprehend and adhere to safety instructions and game rules.
Paintball is an action-packed, competitive sport where players use paintball markers (guns) to shoot paint-filled capsules (paintballs) at each other. The goal is to eliminate opponents by hitting them with paintballs, which leave a visible mark on contact, or to complete specific objectives, depending on the game mode being played
Typically, you can’t just arrive and start playing; most paintball fields require you to book ahead, especially if you’re in a group. That said, some fields have ‘walk-on’ public sessions on weekends where individuals or small groups can join in on existing games. It’s always wise to call first to verify availability.
