National Pro Tip: Looking for a last-minute mission? Give our team a call on 1300 490 898. We occasionally have late cancellations or newly opened sessions that may allow us to fit your group in at short notice!

There is no minimum or maximum group size requirement at Next Level Paintball; you can play with any number of participants or even join the action individually.

Yes! We recommend booking for your minimum confirmed players as early as possible. Our centres are among the most popular in the country, and session spots fill up quickly—especially on weekends.

• Secure Your Date: Booking for your core group now ensures you don’t miss out on your desired date and session time. It’s better to lock in a slot for 10 "young guns" now than to wait for 20 and find the day is fully booked.
• Add Players Later: You are welcome to add more players to your booking up until a few days before your event. Simply call our national coordination team to check equipment availability, and we will do our best to accommodate the extra recruits.
• Stress-Free Planning: Don’t let a few “maybe” responses hold up the entire group. Locking in the confirmed players officially starts the countdown to game day and often encourages the rest of the squad to commit!

National Pro-Tip: Demand for our world-class game zones is high nationwide. We suggest booking for your “definites” today, then sending a “final call” to the rest of your group once the date is secured. You can manage any additions with a quick call to 1300 490 898.

While the availability of specific venues can occasionally change due to maintenance, seasonal hours, or circumstances beyond our control, we are committed to finding the best solution for your mission.

• Expert Assistance: Our event coordinators will endeavour to find the most convenient alternative for your group based on your specific travel requirements and the age of your players.
• Up-to-Date Info: We are constantly expanding! For the latest information on new centre launches and current availability, please contact our national booking office directly.

We understand that plans can change at the last minute. While all payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, we aim to ensure you do not lose out:

• Paintball Allocations: Please note that any paintball allocations or equipment included in the package for a "no-show" player are forfeited on the day. These cannot be transferred to or shared among other players in your group; however, any paintballs included in that player's package will be carried over with the credit place and held on your profile for future use.
• Notification: If you know in advance that your group size has changed, please contact our booking office as soon as possible so we can update your profile.

• Locker Hire: Secure lockers are available for a small charge at each paintball centre. These are specifically designed for personal items, valuables, car keys, and spare clothing.
• How to Hire: Please visit the on-site shop upon arrival to hire a key. We recommend doing this during registration so you are ready before the safety briefing begins.
• Large Items: While lockers are provided for essentials, we suggest leaving large bags or non-essential equipment in your locked vehicle to ensure space remains available for all guests.
• Security: Utilising our lockers keeps your gear clean, dry, and secure, allowing you to focus entirely on your mission in the game zones.

To ensure your squad stays hydrated and full of energy, please note the following on-site facilities and catering policies at our national centres:

National Pro Tip: During the scorching summer months, freezing a few bottles of water the night before is a classic move to ensure you’ve got ice-cold water all day! If you have any questions about the facilities, give the team a buzz on 1300 490 898.

From the moment you rock up, our crew ensures your experience is professional, safe, and high-energy. A typical session follows this itinerary:

• Arrival & Registration: You'll be greeted by our friendly staff for check-in. To skip the queues and get a fast-track entry, please ensure all players have completed their online registration forms before arriving at the centre.
• Kitting Up: Once you're checked in, we’ll get you sorted with professional-grade gear, including your full-head goggle system, bespoke body armour, and full-body combat suit with a padded neck protector.
• Compulsory Safety Briefing: Before the action kicks off, every player must attend a professional safety briefing. This covers how to handle your marker, the rules of the game zones, and our strict safety protocols to keep everyone in the clear.
• The Action Starts: You’ll head out to our themed game zones to play 4–6 varied missions per session. Each game has a different objective to test your team's strategy, communication, and skill.

National Pro Tip: We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your session start time. This gives your squad plenty of time to get through registration and kitted up so you don't miss a second of the action. If you're running late, give us a buzz on 1300 490 898!

To ensure a smooth start to your mission, we provide several tools to help you find our bushland entrances easily.
Being prepared with your directions ensures your squad arrives on time for the first safety briefing.

• Use your Booking PDF: Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email with a map and detailed directions. We strongly recommend sharing this PDF with every driver in your convoy before you head out.
• Sat Nav Caution: While GPS is handy, our centre entrances are often tucked away in natural bushland and can be easy to miss. Please cross-reference your Sat Nav with the specific directions in your booking pack to ensure you reach the correct gate.
• Google Maps & Pin Drops: Many of our centres can be found by searching for the specific centre name in Google Maps. If you're unsure, check your confirmation email for the most accurate GPS coordinates.
• Live Support: If you're having a bit of trouble finding us on the day, give our event coordinators a buzz on 1300 490 898. Our team can provide you with direct guidance to the car park to get you sorted.

National Pro Tip: Mobile reception can be "patchy" once you get closer to our rural bushland locations. We recommend downloading your map or taking a screenshot of the directions before you leave home so you’re not relying on 4G/5G to find the front gate!

We offer both morning and afternoon sessions, with each mission lasting approximately 3 hours.
This timeframe is designed to provide a high-intensity, immersive experience while ensuring your squad gets plenty of action on the field.

• Session Structure: Our games are carefully paced within this 3-hour window. This includes your safety briefing, gear-up, and multiple mission scenarios across our world-class game zones, with short breaks to grab a drink and refuel.
• Centre-Specific Times: Operating times can vary slightly between our national locations. To confirm the exact start and finish times for your local centre, please check your booking PDF confirmation.
• Arrival Time: We recommend rocking up at least 15 minutes before your session start time to get through registration and kitting up so you don’t miss a minute of the action.

National Pro Tip: If you're looking for a specific time slot or want to check live availability for a large group, give our coordinators a buzz on 1300 490 898 or use our LiveChat feature. Sessions fill up fast, so it’s always best to book your "definites" early!

• Armoured Tactical Gloves: Highly recommended to protect hands and knuckles; these are available for purchase at our on-site shop.

At Next Level Paintball, we believe the adventure should be accessible to as many people as possible. While there are no strict height or weight restrictions, we recommend the following for your comfort and safety:

• Bespoke Equipment: We provide custom-designed body armour and combat suits in a wide range of sizes. Our equipment is adjustable and designed to accommodate various body types comfortably, ensuring every "young gun" and adult is well-protected.
• Mobility & Terrain: Our game zones are located in natural environments. Players should be comfortable navigating uneven bushland terrain, slopes, and natural forest floors.
• Safety First: For your protection, we must be able to ensure that our safety goggles and body armour fit correctly and securely. A secure fit is essential for maintaining our industry-leading safety standards.
• Inclusive Play: If you have specific concerns about sizing, mobility, or a medical condition, please call our booking office. Our team is experienced in assisting players of all backgrounds to ensure they have a world-class experience.

National Pro-Tip: If you’re unsure about equipment fit or terrain access at a specific centre, call our team on 1300 490 898. We are more than happy to provide further details on our equipment specifications to put your mind at ease!
