How Does it Work?

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.
