Will my group get the field to ourselves?

Yes, we encourage groups - big or small - to play by themselves. Even 2 players can enjoy a 1 on 1 if they don't feel comfortable playing with other players.

Safari Ridge is a public drop-in field so the number of players attending will vary throughout the day. However, we run continuous games on our 4 fields which allows your group private access to the playing field on an alternating basis. While one group is playing, the other(s) are getting their equipment cleaned and taking a short breather before their next game. This time goes quickly, so no need to worry that you are spending all your time waiting. The continuous game format makes for a more intense - action packed game, rather than everyone hiding for hours and no one making a move.

Do I have to sit out of the game once I’ve been hit?

No, you came to play the game - not just watch it! After you have been splattered you must leave the field through the exit gate, then you wait at the re-entry gate until the buzzer sounds. This timer is usually set at 30 seconds to two minute intervals, so you never have to wait very long before joining the fun and action again!

Does it hurt if I get hit with a paintball?

Well..... you can usually feel it. It can be like catching a baseball in your hand, there is an initial ‘ouch’ but it fades quickly. Getting hit on bare skin can be a little more painful, that’s why we suggest you wear clothes to cover up bare arms and legs. Loose, baggy clothes are best, but not too big - you still have to run around without them falling off! The loose fabric absorbs much of the hit so you are less likely to feel anything on your body. Also, your adrenaline is pumping so high that sometimes you can’t even feel the paintball at all! In short, the excitement of the game outweighs the pain factor for most players, but if you are still concerned, ask about our new line of Rhinohide Gear™. These lightweight outfits are specially designed to provide protection for your entire body in a two piece jacket and pants outfit. They may be rented individually or as a set.

Paintballs hurt enough that you don't want to get hit, but not enough that you want to Quit! 

We also offer OUTDOOR LASER TAG - it’s like ouchless Paintball
