What will you learn in this article?
Paintball is an adrenaline-packed team sport in which players compete to complete objectives and eliminate opponents with a paintball – a gelatin capsule filled with non-toxic paint. The paintball is fired from a marker (paintball gun) using compressed air or CO₂.
When safety rules are followed, paintball is a completely safe, fair and extremely fun activity for children and adults alike.
Paintball originated in the USA in 1981. A group of friends used markers originally designed for marking livestock or trees in forests and turned them into entertainment. The first official game took place in woodland terrain and immediately attracted huge interest.
What started as woodland shootouts gradually became an organised sport, now featuring professional tournaments, leagues and its own federation worldwide.
Paintball reached the Czech Republic in the early 1990s, roughly around 1992, and quickly gained popularity. Today it is played both recreationally and competitively – and it remains one of the most sought-after adrenaline activities.
We are among the pioneers of urban paintball in the Czech Republic. We offer five themed arenas, including the iconic Nuclear Town inspired by a Call of Duty map.
Take a look at our arenas.
The basic principle of paintball is simple: two teams compete against each other to complete an objective – for example capturing a flag, eliminating the opposing team, or defending a base. Players use markers to fire paintballs which, on impact, leave a clear paint mark.
This sport combines strategy, physical activity and teamwork – which is exactly what makes it ideal fun for a group of friends, companies or families.
A paintball is a small gelatin shell filled with coloured, biodegradable and non-toxic liquid.
When it hits the target, it bursts and leaves a visible paint mark. Paintballs are environmentally friendly and do not leave permanent stains on clothing.
A marker operates using compressed air or CO₂, firing paintballs at a speed of around 90 metres per second.
Modern markers are safe, accurate and easy to control, even for beginners.
At our venue, we use proven markers Tippmann and Valken SW1 Blackhawk, which rank among the most reliable on the market.
A player who is hit by a paintball and has paint on them is eliminated and leaves the arena (or waits until the next round).
The organiser monitors the rules and ensures the game runs fairly.
Short answer: Yes, paintball is a safe sport when the basic rules are followed.
In fact, paintball results in fewer injuries than common sports such as football or cycling.
A paintball hit usually only stings slightly – similar to a “rubber band snap”.
For children, we offer Junior Paintball using markers with a lower muzzle velocity.
Thanks to modern protective equipment, paintball is completely safe for children from age 10 and for adult players.

Paintball is an ideal way to strengthen team spirit, develop communication and share adrenaline outside the office.
Players must cooperate, think strategically and react in real time – much like dealing with challenges at work.
For corporate groups, we offer:
On request, the programme can also be extended with additional activities or evening entertainment, such as a DJ, shisha, or extra sports and team games (bubble football, human table football, archery tag, spin ladder, beer pong, or table football).
Companies often combine paintball with an informal evening event right at the venue.

A stag party without paintball? That would be boring.
With us, you’ll experience the perfect combination of adrenaline, laughter and competitiveness.
The game can also be kept light-hearted – we can even add a “groom in a pink costume” if you want an extra dose of fun.
After the game, there’s time to sit together, relive the best moments, and enjoy the atmosphere with a BBQ or a drink in hand.
The programme can be extended with other add-on activities at the venue, or complemented with ultimate pranks designed specifically for the person being celebrated. One of the most popular is Kick Ass by Girl, which adds a bold and unforgettable moment to the whole party.
