Six zones in the woods
Each zone has its own cover, sight lines and game. Groups rotate through them, so nobody plays the same ground twice in a morning.
The Fort
A log fort with a lookout platform. One side defends, the other has ten minutes to take the flag from the tower.
The Bridge
A footbridge over a dry stream with tyre walls on both banks. First team to carry the flag across wins.
The Trenches
Sandbagged trenches under tall pines, played as a slow, patient game of creeping forward.
Beech Hollow
Open woodland with fallen trunks for cover. Fast games of elimination, good for warming up.
The Crossroads
Four paths meet at a crate stack. Teams race to hold the centre and keep it until the whistle.
Pine Ridge
The highest ground, saved for the final game of the day, with a flag at each end of the ridge.
Masks on, every minute in the zones
Eyes are the one thing a paintball can really hurt, so the mask rule never bends. Full face masks made to the paintball safety standard stay on and fastened from the moment you enter a game zone or the test range until you are back in the netted safe area.
If a lens fogs, keep the mask on, raise a hand and walk out with the marshal. Markers are speed tested every morning, barrel covers go on whenever you leave a zone, and nobody shoots from closer than five metres: call a surrender instead.
- Masks stay on in every zone and on the range
- Barrel covers on outside the zones
- Markers speed tested before play
- No alcohol before or during the day
Who can play
Minimum ages, consent and safety rules for paintball are not the same everywhere: each country sets its own, and some regions add more. These are Woodline's rules, and the marshals apply them at sign in.
| Game | Minimum age | What is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Low impact games | 8 years | A parent or guardian signs the consent form and stays at base camp |
| Woodland day | 12 years | Players under 18 bring a consent form signed by a parent or guardian |
| Players 12 to 15 | 12 years | At least one adult from the group plays or stays at base camp |
| Company days and evening games | 18 years | Photo identification may be asked for at sign in |
| Every player | Boots or trainers with ankle support, and a word with the marshal about any health condition |
Please do not play if you are pregnant. Anyone with a heart condition, asthma that limits exercise, or a recent injury should check with their doctor before booking.
How a game day runs
Sign in and brief
Arrive by 09:00. Forms are checked, then the marshals run the safety briefing at base camp.
Kit and test range
Overalls, gloves and masks on, then every player fires at targets on the netted test range.
Zones in rotation
Short games across the zones, with a marshal and a whistle for every game.
Lunch and the final
Back to base camp for lunch, then the deciding game on Pine Ridge.
Out in the woods
Back from the woods (example reviews)
Thirty of us on a company day and every game felt fair. The marshals swapped the teams when one side kept winning, which kept everyone laughing.
The low impact party was right for a group of ten year olds. Bruises were small, the marshal was patient, and the cake survived.
Came as two walk on players and were put in a friendly mixed group. The fort game in the afternoon was the best part.
Before you kit up
Does it hurt?
A hit stings for a moment and can leave a small bruise. Overalls, gloves and a layer underneath soften it, and low impact games use smaller, softer paintballs.
What should we wear?
Old clothes you can move in, a hooded top under the overalls in winter, and boots or trainers with good grip and ankle support. Leave jewellery at home.
Can we bring our own masks and markers?
Own masks are welcome if they meet the paintball safety standard and pass the marshal's check. Own markers are speed tested before play, and only paintballs bought at base camp are used in the woods.
Is there a minimum group size?
No. Walk on players join mixed groups at weekends. Private zones and company days start at 12 players.
What happens in heavy rain?
Games go ahead in rain, and the woods give good shelter. In storms or strong winds the marshals stop play, and the day is moved without charge.
Do you serve alcohol?
No. Nobody plays after drinking, and the marshals will turn away anyone who seems to have been drinking.
Book your game day
Pick a package and a date, give us the number of players and the age of the youngest, and the office will confirm within one working day.
