Why paintball

Better than another round of mini golf

The day activity is half the fun of asking someone to a dance, and most groups end up at the same three places. Paintball gets everybody laughing, gives the shy couples something to talk about at dinner, and makes for better pictures than a bowling scorecard.

  • Boys against girls, couples against couples, or every couple for themselves
  • Free fields a few minutes outside town
  • Done in a couple of hours with time left to get ready
  • Thrift-store formals make for great pictures if you're up for it

Plan it right

Tips from the groups who've done it

Play early

Book the morning or early afternoon so there's time to shower and get ready before pictures. Nobody wants to rush a corsage.

Cover up

A hit can leave a small welt for a day or two. Long sleeves and a hoodie take most of the sting out, which matters if the dance outfit is sleeveless.

Wear old clothes

Play in something you don't mind getting messy. Save the real dance clothes for the dance.

Questions

Before you book

Does it hurt?

A hit stings for a second and can leave a small welt. Long sleeves, a hoodie or one of our camo jackets takes most of the sting out. Masks stay on the whole time anyone is on the field.

What do we need to sign?

Every player signs a waiver, and a parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18. One adult signs the rental. Send everyone the online waiver ahead of time so nobody waits at pickup.

Do we need to bring any gear?

No. Everything you need to play comes with the rental: marker, mask, hopper and a full CO2 tank. Add paintballs and wear clothes you don't mind getting messy.

How long can we keep it?

Rentals are good for two days. Pick up on Friday and bring it back Monday at no extra charge.

Where do we play?

There are free paintball spots all around Rexburg. Browse them here, or ask and we'll point you to one that fits your group.

Dance weekends go first

Everybody's group wants the same Saturday. Text or call with the date and how many are coming, or book online, and we'll hold the gear.
