Frequently Asked Questions for Glasgow Paintball

A paintball session lasts around three hours and includes several exciting game missions.

We offer two main sessions, seven days a week:

• Morning session: 9:15am – 12:30pm

• Afternoon session: 12:30pm – 3:30pm

During each session, you’ll typically play 4 to 6 games, with short breaks in between for reloading paintballs and catching your breath.

Yes, we are open 7 days a week, but you must prebook and pay in full at least 24 hours before your game.

You need to book the Paintball Party Pack, which includes:

• Full equipment hire – suit, mask, and marker gun

• A massive 4,000 paintballs to share

• For 2 to 8 players, aged 11+

• 3-hour session

• All for £425 per group

• Extra players only £20 per person

Teams are created on the day by the games marshal to ensure fair and balanced matches.

Most players use between 300 and 800 paintballs during a standard session.

• Casual or first-time players usually use around 300–500 paintballs.

• More active or competitive players can easily go through 600–800 paintballs.

The short answer is: a little, but not much — it feels more like a sharp flick or a quick sting that lasts just a second or two. Most players compare it to being snapped with a rubber band.

“Pyrotechnics” refers to add-on effects such as smoke grenades and paint grenades, which enhance gameplay.

Please note: you must be 18 or older to purchase pyrotechnics — it’s the law.

Our trained marshals explain all rules on arrival — including safe equipment use, the distinction between safety and game zones, and the aims of each mission.
Before every match, they’ll brief you on objectives and safety protocols.

Yes! You can download free party invitations directly from our website to print or share digitally with your guests.

Please arrive around 20 minutes before your scheduled start time to allow for check-in, equipment fitting, and safety briefing.

Each lasertag session is overseen by a trained event coordinator who ensures all safety measures are followed and everyone enjoys the experience.

We recommend players wear long sleeves, long trousers, and closed-toe shoes. As games take place outdoors, clothes may get a little dirty, so avoid wearing anything too precious!

You’ll know you’ve been hit when your tagger makes a sound and your sensors flash. Each hit reduces your remaining lives. If your sensors warn you with a “near miss” sound, it’s your cue to duck and cover!

Yes, reloading leaves you temporarily exposed! The process takes a few seconds depending on your tagger type, so choose your moment carefully.

Our taggers are weather-resistant, so games usually continue in light rain, wind, or snow. Players should bring waterproofs or spare clothes if poor weather is expected.
In the event of severe weather, such as heavy rain or lightning, games may be paused or rescheduled for safety reasons. If this happens, we’ll contact you as soon as possible to rearrange your session or offer a full refund.

Not at all. The taggers use harmless infrared technology — there are no projectiles or physical impacts involved. The system is completely safe, with infrared beams operating at low energy levels that pose no risk to eyes or skin.

Bookings can be rescheduled up to 48 hours before your session. A £50 administration fee applies for date changes.
If you cancel your event, please note that payments made are non-refundable.

Splatmaster is a low-impact paintball-style activity designed for players aged 8 and above. Using lightweight, spring-powered markers that fire small, soft paintballs, it offers all the excitement of traditional paintball without the worry of loud noises or bruises. It’s 100% safe, easy to use, and guaranteed fun for younger players and family groups.

Children aged 8–10 years can safely participate.

This is one of the most common questions from first-time players and parents. Splatmaster uses specially designed, low-impact paintballs that burst on contact but feel more like the snap of a light elastic band. It’s designed to give a realistic experience without pain, making it ideal for beginners and younger players.

Absolutely. Every player is supplied with protective goggles and a padded chest protector, which must be worn at all times. Before play begins, all participants receive a safety briefing. As with any activity, approved paintball or Splatmaster eye protection must be worn—regular glasses are not suitable. Our trained marshals are always on-hand to supervise and ensure all players stay safe.

Hyper Shock Laser Tag is a modern version of laser tag that adds mild electric shock feedback when players are hit. Players wear small electrode pads on their shoulder blades that buzz briefly when tagged, creating a more immersive and adrenaline-filled experience.

In Hyper Shock Laser Tag, the shock feedback comes from small electrode pads (similar to TENS machine pads) that are attached to the player’s upper back, near the shoulder blades.

Players say Hyper Shock Laser Tag is an electrifying adrenaline explosion — every hit delivers a thrilling buzz that makes you jump, laugh, and dive for cover, turning every round into a heart-pounding, action-packed battle you won’t forget!”

• Adds adrenaline and realism to lasertag.

• Encourages tactical gameplay — players react faster when they feel hits.

• Fun, competitive, and suitable for parties or corporate events.
