F. A. Q.

Q. What is paintball?

A. The basics of the game is one of a two-team game of capture the flag. The objective is to capture a flag from the opposing team and return with it to your own flag station or Head Quarters. The game involves no physical contact ever.

Instead, each player is armed with a special air gun (marker) designed to fire food-grade paint pellets (paintballs), which mark their opponent on impact. In this way players “eliminate” opposing team members.

The game gives players a chance to test their individual skills of stealth and tactics. While also stressing teamwork, planning, and good sportsmanship via competition.
