Paintball is a real-time shooting game in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by shooting them with gelatin capsules (bullets) containing water-soluble dye (paint). The 'colourful fun' begins when you get hit by a bullet that breaks and leaves paint splats on your gear.
The higher the number of players, the more thrill this activity brings. But along with the fun and excitement you'll experience upon loading your gun and shooting, this game will develop a strong sense of teamwork and improve your strategic skills.
The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team is here to tell you more about paintball providers in Qatar and how you can go about paintballing with your family and friends!
Battle Zone requires a minimum of 2 players and allows a maximum capacity of 12 players for adults and 14 for juniors.
You will be playing within your group; however, Battlezone members may join the teams. Safety attire like neck protection, face mask, head cover, full body cover, chest armour and shoes will be provided.
Booking can be made via their website, via WhatsApp or even upon arrival.
For everyone's safety, you can only play paintball with the proper tool and protective clothing. The equipment and gear that come with a fee include the gun or marker, paintballs, combat suit, goggles or mask, body armour or vest, and neck support.
Does paintball hurt? It is said that the feeling of being hit by a paintball is almost equivalent to being snapped by an elastic band or getting stung by a bee and often is not even noticed due to the adrenaline rush during the game. Paintball is one of the safest team sports, yet referees and first aid responders are present in the game venue to ensure players follow the rules and are out of harm's way!
Also, the referees will discuss with the players the rules in place and the aim of the game. Opposing teams would need to agree on the type of games to be played, as there can be added tasks like attacking or capturing a designated spot, finding a hidden object, capturing a flag, and more.
