Q: Does paintball hurt?
A: Your face is protected by a mask and and you will get a suit over your own clothing which reduces the impact considerably.

However, if you shoot too near it can hurt.

To prevent this you will get good instructions and security explanation.

For the ladies and children we have free special bodyprotectors, so that you have an extra measure to prevent that you are hit on a painful spot.

Bodyprotectors are a type of waistcoat that you wear over your clothing for protection.

Obviously you need to feel something, that’s the excitement of the game.

Our professional marshals in the field will supervise that the rules are strictly observed.


Q: How long does a game last?
A: At our  paintballcentre we play games of at most 10 a 15 minuts.

The playtime is dependent on the game/mission variant. It’s no fun if you are shot from the field by your antagonist and the rest is playing for a long time.

After this time there is an opportunity to relax in the bar.

From the bar you can overlook the playing field so that you can use your rest also for tactical discussions.
