Essentially, Paintball is a game of tag which can be played socially or competitively with the aim to win various game modes. You must use specific paintball equipment (Marker/Gun, Goggles, ‘Paintballs’) to ensure you can play safely, all of which is provided by us.
A mixture of tag and hide and seek, you need to play Paintball to appreciate the game at its best. The game can be very tactical, or an exciting free-for-all depending on the field, and game mode you’re playing.

Definitely not. Paintball is well regulated and ‘Project Paintball Wagga’ has staff which are trained to ensure your day is as safe as possible. Protective equipment, Safety Briefings and trained referee’s are there for peace of mind. In fact, statistically Paintball is safer than Netball, all football codes and even golf.
