What happens on a typical paintball day?

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!

What isn’t included in the ticket?

To help you plan your budget, please note that paintballs, food, and drink are not included in the initial cost of Next Level Paintball tickets. Here is a breakdown of what to expect:

  • Initial Paintballs: When booking, you will be asked to confirm each player’s first 100 paintballs for $26.99. This ensures your whole squad is kitted up and ready to head straight into the first mission without delay.
  • Food & Catering: We do not offer pizza lunches or onsite catering. We strongly recommend bringing your own esky with a packed lunch and plenty of refreshments to enjoy in our sheltered base camp seating areas.
  • On-Site Kiosk: Snacks (chips, lollies, and chocolates), cold drinks, and additional paintballs are available for purchase from the kiosk throughout the day.
  • Equipment Upgrades: A variety of optional gear upgrades, including tactical gloves, groin guards, and specialized markers, may be available at the centre to enhance your game.

National Pro Tip: For the best value, ask our events team about our bulk paintball packages when you call 1300 490 898 to finalize your booking. Locking in a package early is the smartest way to save on your total “ammo” spend!
