PAINTBALL: GENERAL INFORMATION

What is paintball?

Paintball is a team game to test your strategy, adrenaline, skill and action. Two teams are formed where each player has a marker, monkey and protective mask. The marker is the weapon to play. It shoots biodegradable paintballs using pressurized air, these explode with impact against a person or obstacle and leave a paint mark.

To win you will have to achieve the goal of each scenario, kill everyone on the opposing team, grab the flag, save a hostage, bells, capture the base, defend the base, among others. E very different scene modes is like killing all the players of the rival team, playing with respawn (revive when dead), play doctor, among others.

The most important thing is safety and that the players have the best possible experience. That's why at Paintball Costabrava we give flexibility with the schedules, with the scenarios, and there are always one or two monitors supervising the game for safety and to help the players. There is Civil Liability Insurance and another for accident insurance.

​

How to play Paintball?

At the beginning of each scenario the monitor will explain the game and its objectives. Both teams will be placed at their base. The monitor will start the game and then the players will advance to occupy the stage and place themselves on the protections of the stage (wood, walls, trees, etc.) to shoot the rivals.

Each team chooses a different strategy, they can do an offensive tactic, a defensive tactic or a mixed one. Therefore each game is different.

The game ends when all the players of the opposing team die or a team reaches the goal.

Origins of Paintball

The origins of paintball are in the United States in the 1970s. At that time paint markers were used to mark animals and trees for ranchers.

The origins of paintball began when two friends wanted to recreate a day of hunting they had done and spent a lot of time thinking about how they could do it, a year later they discovered the markers of the ranchers or created the first game in history. .
