FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Paintball is great fun! It’s like a real life computer game, similar to call of duty just with loads of fresh air and action! You’ll get to play a variety of game scenarios. You are issued with a paintball marker which fires small balls of paint and these explode on impact leaving bright splat! There are lots of rules to paintball to keep everyone safe, at the start of the session the marshal in charge will hold a safety briefing, this is where you’ll also have the chance to ask any questions.

Of course, if you do get shot you will feel it. It can mildly bruise, however the slight sting only lasts for a few seconds and you’ll be eager to get right back in the action again! We do recommend you wear additional layers to reduce this, but we promise you’re in great hands and there’s nothing to worry about. Paintball is a super safe activity!

Dress for the weather! Wear comfortable, old clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy, or potentially damaged. Removable layers with long sleeves work best. We would not recommend jeans. As for footwear, walking boots work great! Football boots and trainers are also a good option, but don’t wear your newest pair of white Nikes – they won’t be the same colour afterwards! When it’s super muddy, welly boots are also a great choice. A change of clothes and shoes is always a good idea, regardless of how muddy you get. Sandals, crocs and flipflops are not suitable and you will not be allowed to play if this is what you are wearing.

Yes! In fact, we’d say it’s a great activity for them! However, parents need to know about the nature of the activity and decide for themselves whether their particular child is hardy, and mature enough to participate in paintball (as the thought that a team of 30 people charging at you firing can be a little scary). Marshals are fully trained and do keep an eye on all younger players though to make sure they are safe and have the best day ever!

Come rain or shine, the battles on! We only cancel games in extreme weather conditions.
