What should I bring with me on the day?
Players should wear something comfortable which they don't mind getting dirty or torn. You may also want to take some fresh clothes to change into for the end of your day. Most people go for old trainers on their feet but light boots would be ideal. If you wish to purchase additional paintballs you should bring some cash or a credit/debit card. Make sure you also have your wits about you ready to face your friends in combat!
How long does the day last?
Most sites will require you to arrive at around 9am and play will go on till around 4.30pm with a lunch break and regular breaks throughout the day. This can vary across different sites so please make sure you check with the centre you book with.
I have some of my own paintball equipment – can I bring it with me?
You can bring your own equipment to the centre, but it is up to the particular centre to decide if you may use them. Most sites will allow you to use your own and will be inspected by the marshal to ensure the safety of everyone there. However, the paintball sites provide all the equipment you need and it is included in your MOP VIP ticket price.
Can I bring my own paintballs?
Unfortunately not. All the paintballs used must be purchased from the site itself. This is for safety reasons. The first 100 paintballs must be purchased when you book your date and location, loaded up ready for yoru arrival and will cost £10 when booked on line or £11.50 when booked by telephone. Paintballs thereafter will cost between £5 and £8 per 100 and purchased from the site as and when you need them. View additional paintball costs.
How many paintballs will I need?
It really is up to you how many paintballs you want to use during your day and you do not need to decide before you come. Additional paintballs can be bought during breaks throughout the day from the paintball site. For a good days paintball playing around 10-12 different scenarions you could use 400-500 paintballs (average). However if you played sniper you could survive on much less and still enjoy the day!
What is the minimum age?
The minimum age to play is usually 14. However, some centres allow children as young as 12 to play. You can check the minimum age for the centre by giving them a call.
What food can we expect at the sites?
Most sites provide a FREE barbecue lunch as part of the ticket price (vegetarian options available). When you make your booking you can find out from the centre what the lunch will consist of.
Can we bring alcohol to the centre?
No alcohol is permitted on site. Anyone found to have consumed alcohol during or before the game will be sent home.
What happens on the day?
When you arrive you will be greeted by our friendly staff and marshals who will show you around and organise your group. Our trained marshals will then give you a safety briefing. After this the action will start! A typical day will consist of around 10 different scenarios with a short break between each one when you can reload paintballs, discuss tactics and gear yourself up for the next round!
What happens if it rains?
Paintballing will go ahead whatever the weather! In fact paintballing in the rain can be awesome fun! So forget about getting wet and try to bring some waterproof footwear for the day. You'd be surprised at the great time you can have in the typical British weather!
