Mom's Top Questions Answered

Does it hurt?
The sting of the paintball hit is what makes this game unique. The thrill of running and jumping, dodging the paintball goes right back to your childhood, and the competition of trying to make the point to win the overall game just adds to the rush. So although getting "marked" by a paintball might sting a little, the sensation is similar to getting popped with a towel and will usually go away in a couple seconds.

Is their a minimum age requirement?
Insurance companies allow us to leave it up to the parent to determine if their particular child is mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come along with playing paintball. For kids under 10, we recommend our private party to insure that it is just your group shooting with each other and no worries of other experienced players using your child for target practice. These packages are designed for players as young as 6.

What kind of clothes should they wear?
The paintballs are a mixture of food coloring and vegetable oil, they will simply bleed into the clothes to the point of transparency and will wash out with your normal laundry. Clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Wear long pants, like jeans, something that you don't mind getting dirty. You are in the woods with bugs and sticks are around. Long sleeve shirts are highly recommended, even in summer. Foot attire, be sure to wear something comfortable. We provide everything else that is needed for you to enjoy a fun filled day of paintball.

Is the Private Party worth the extra money over the basic party package?
Simply do the math, party packages equal out to the same price per guest and you get the private referee along with the rental equipment and same amount of paintballs.  A private referee is there to assist with any and every aspect of your party.  From loading your equipment with paintballs, adjusting goggles, giving pointers on how to play and more importantly, making sure that the birthday boy is having fun.  Your private referee is going to be your guests best friend for those 3 hours of play time.
