Ask more questions

What is walk-on paintball?

An open session where you book a place for yourself (or a few friends) and join other players on the day, instead of booking the whole field for a group.

Can I go paintballing on my own?

Yes — walk-on sessions are made for it. The marshals put you in a team and you'll meet other players.

What's included?

Each session lists its price per player. Kit hire and a starting number of paintballs are often included — check the session details before you book.

What's the difference between social and ranked games?

Social games are relaxed open play for everyone. Ranked matches count towards the TACPLAY leaderboards and are for Premium players.
