Paintball - Are You Ready For For The Challenge?

By Reed Mitty


When you are bored and have to think of something for the family to do you should think about something that everyone can enjoy that is outside and that involves thinking and moving really quickly. Better yet, why not add an activity to your families lifestyle that promotes teamwork and cohesion? One recreational activity that can offer this and more is Paintball - one of the most exciting games that adults and young adults can play.

Paintball is a game of strategy, kind of like chess, so not only does it test your ability to think under pressure, it pushes you to practice visual-strategics before each mach. This is an essential skill to learn in life - it goes along with the whole "see it and achieve it" mindset. Another aspect that is really great about this game, is that your can have an infinite number of players taking on an infinite number of challenges or game variants. This alone makes every weekend of play new and challenging.

If you come across a paintball game at a fair or carnival then you will probably not be playing the full version and you will only have a short amount of time to get your opponent covered in paint. When you go to a paintball course you will find that you have a huge area to play in and it is usually set in a forest type of setting which makes it more realistic as if you were in the army.

Now, playing paintball in that way is fun too, but there are other ways to play paintball that will make the game go on for quite some time. There are also many computer games that you can adapt into a real paintball game, Unreal tournament is one them. However, nothing beats wearing legit protective paintball gear.

A fun game to play is the game of capture the flag. Now, you may have played capture the flag before, but if you were to mix it with a game of paintball, you will have a real fun game on your hands.

To make this game a bit longer, you could give each team five flags, with the objective of the game being to capture the other all of the other team's flags.
