PAINTBALL
What is paintball?
Paintball is a game where you shoot at each other with so-called paintball markers. When you hit an opponent, he/she is then “marked” and out of the game. There are many different kinds of games. A typical game takes about 4-10 minutes depending on the number of participants. Paintballs are made of gelatin capsules containing water-based paint, which can be washed from the clothes within three days.
Are there age restrictions on paintball?
Yes. To play paintball you must be at least 16 years old, according to Danish law. If you are you over 16 but under 18, we require that you bring ID and written consent of a parent or guardian. Download written consent template
How many paintballs do we need for a game?
For two hours of paintball, the average paintballs required are just under 400 paintballs per person. We therefore recommend that you go for the Silver package containing 400 paintballs. If you are on a tight budget, the Bronze Package is recommended. For advanced players, the Gold Package is the way to go. The price per paintball gradually gets lower and lower as you move up in size of paintball package purchased. See paintball prices
Do you sell packages with an unlimited number of paintballs?
No. These packages are not good value for money for you. Some paintball companies will try to rip you off by selling “unlimited paintball packages” that you will not have time to use up before the game is over. At Paintball Arena we believe in giving you the best possible experience, rather than overcharging you. You only pay for what you have ordered, and if you run out of paintballs halfway through, you can always purchase extra.
How much do paintballs cost?
To play paintball each player pays for a start-up package that contains all the neccessary equipment, plus 50 paintballs each. If you wish to buy more paintballs, we have several different packages. See paintball prices
Can we bring our own paintballs
No. It is forbidden to bring your own paintballs to Paintball Arena, as it poses a safety risk.
Does it hurt to get hit by a paintball?
In most cases, no. But it depends on where on the body you get hit. The worst shot is still bearable and we have not yet seen crying or similar due to getting hit. At Paintball Arena all players wear a mask, gloves and a freshly washed suit that protects from the pain. The mask protects the face, and therefore it is no more dangerous than other sports.
Can I participate alone?
No. Unfortunately it is not possible to come and play alone. Instead, pick your own team of at least 8 people for paintball, climbing relay or teambuilding, and 10 people for all other activities. Consider bringing a group of friends or write on our Facebook page, where sometimes others are also looking for people to play with.
Can I join a paintball club?
Yes you can. Reball Arena has two fixed training days per week, which take place in Paintball Arena’s hall. If you’re interested, you can read more on www.reballarena.dk
BOOKING
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend being in good time in order to be sure to find a time that works for you. We are usually fully booked on Saturday so if you want to play on a Saturday, it is even more vital that you book far ahead. You can easily reserve a time, even if you do not know the exact number of participants.
Do we have to pay for a minimum number of participants?
Yes. To play paintball you must pay for a minimum of 8 people. For other activities you must pay for a minimum of 10 people. It may be possible to be fewer participants, so long as you pay the price for the minimum number. Example: 5 people would like to play Human Football (price per person DKK 125). The minimum price would therefore be (DKK 125 x 10 =) DKK 1250, so, per person, DKK 250.
How can I find out if the day we want is available?
Send a booking request on our website and you will get a confirmation back if the chosen time is available. If the time you want is fully booked, we will contact you to find another time.
What happens if we have last minute cancellations or new additions to the group?
If there are one or two cancellations or new additions, it does not matter. You pay on the day, so the price is simply adjusted accordingly. Remember that you will always have to pay for a minimum of 8 people for paintball and a minimum of 10 people for other activities. If the number in your group changes a lot – we would appreciate that you notify us by email or phone.
PAYMENT
Do we have to pay a deposit?
Yes. To confirm your booking you must pay a deposit of DKK 1000. The deposit is the same for all activities regardless of the number of participants. It must be paid at least 14 days before the event. If the activity is more than 28 days in the future, the deposit must be paid latest, 14 days after you have made your booking.
