Can I pay for my booking on the day?

No. To ensure a safe and organised experience, all bookings must be confirmed and paid for in advance of your event date.

  • Capacity: Each centre has a strict player limit. We must confirm total numbers prior to the event to ensure we do not exceed safe capacity and can provide the best experience for all guests.
  • Logistics: Advance payment allows our team to organise essential equipment, coordinate game teams, and roster professional marshalling staff specifically for your group.
  • Catering & Food: Our locations do not offer pizza lunches or onsite catering. We recommend making your own arrangements for food and refreshments in advance to keep your team fueled for the day.
  • Booking Process: To secure your preferred date, please contact our booking office to complete your registration and payment. You can reach the On Point Paintball booking team directly at 0800 667 118.

How far ahead do I need to book?

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. All dates are subject to availability and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • High Demand: Our centre experiences high demand, particularly on weekends. Your preferred date may not always be available if left to the last minute.
  • Alternative Solutions: If your first choice is fully booked, our event consultants will proactively provide a list of alternative dates to accommodate your group.
  • Securing Your Spot: Please note that your booking is only officially secured once your payment has been processed and player numbers are confirmed.
  • Minimum Notice: Early booking also ensures we have sufficient professional marshalling staff rostered to provide your group with a world-class experience.

Pro-Tip: Looking for a last-minute mission? Give our team a call on 0800 667 118. We occasionally have late cancellations or newly opened sessions that may allow us to fit your group in at short notice!

How much do paintballs cost?

Paintball prices at the centre start from $21.99 per 100 when bought by the box (1000 balls) or $29.99 per 100 when purchased in smaller amounts. We offer several ways to increase your “firepower” for less:

  • Group Packages: Choosing a Group Package is the most cost-effective way to get more paintballs for less. The price per 100 paintballs reduces significantly when you purchase in larger quantities as a group.
  • Ticket Holder Benefits: If you have On Point Paintball tickets, you are eligible for further exclusive discounts on our pre-paid Paintball Packages.
  • Flexibility: Additional paintballs can be purchased at the shop or the base camp at any time during the game day, ensuring you never run out of ammo during a critical mission.

Pro-Tip: To get the most “bang for your buck,” we recommend choosing a package that suits your group’s playstyle before the games begin. For more information on our best-value deals, call our team on 0800 667 118.

What happens on a typical paintball day?

From the moment you rock up, our crew ensures your experience is professional, safe, and high-energy. Whether you choose a morning or afternoon session, a typical mission follows this itinerary:

  • Arrival & Registration: You’ll be greeted by our friendly staff for check-in. To skip the queues and ensure a seamless entry, please ensure all players have completed their online registration forms before arriving at the centre.
  • Kitting Up: Once you’re checked in, we’ll get you sorted with professional-grade gear. You will transform into a commando with your full-head goggle system, bespoke body armour, and full-body combat suit with a padded neck protector.
  • Compulsory Safety Briefing: Before the action kicks off, every player must attend a mandatory safety briefing. This covers how to handle your 0.50 calibre semi-automatic marker, the rules of the game zones, and our strict safety protocols. You’ll even get to sharpen your focus with practice shots at the firing range.
  • The Action Starts: Head out to our themed game zones for up to six intense battles. From rescuing downed pilots at the Black Hawk Helicopter to retrieving ancient artifacts in the Tomb Raider pyramid, each mission tests your strategy and skill.
  • Debrief & Presentation: After the games, players return to base camp to revert to civilian status and enjoy an entertaining afternoon presentation to celebrate the day’s victories (and hilarious defeats).

Pro-Tip: We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before your session start time. This gives your squad plenty of time to get through registration so you don’t miss a second of the action. If you’re running late or have more questions, give us a buzz on 0800 667 118!

What isn’t included in the ticket?

To help you plan your budget, please note that paintballs, food, and drink are not included in the initial cost of On Point Paintball tickets. Here is a breakdown of what to expect:

  • Initial Paintballs: When booking, you will be asked to confirm each player’s first 100 paintballs for $26.99. This ensures your whole squad is kitted up and ready to head straight into the first mission without delay.
  • Food & Catering: We do not offer pizza lunches or onsite catering. We strongly recommend bringing your own refreshments and a packed lunch to enjoy in our sheltered base camp seating areas between games.
  • On-Site Kiosk: Snacks (chips, lollies, and chocolates), cold drinks, and additional paintballs are available for purchase from the kiosk throughout the day.
  • Equipment Upgrades: A variety of optional gear upgrades, including tactical gloves, groin guards, and specialized markers, may be available at the centre to enhance your game.

Pro-Tip: For the best value, ask our events team about our bulk paintball packages when you call 0800 667 118 to finalise your booking. Locking in a package early is the smartest way to save on your total “ammo” spend!

Can we bring alcohol to the centre?

No. On Point Paintball operates a strict zero-alcohol policy across all national centres to maintain our industry-leading safety standards.

  • Safety & Insurance: Alcohol is strictly prohibited in both the M*A*S*H-themed base camp and the game zones. To comply with insurance and New Zealand health and safety regulations, all players must remain fully alert and unimpaired.
  • Entry Requirements: Any player found under the influence, or attempting to bring alcohol onto the premises, will be excluded from the event without a refund and asked to leave the centre for the safety of themselves and others.
  • Celebrations: We love a celebration! However, to ensure a safe environment for all guests, we ask that any drinks or celebrations involving alcohol be saved until after you have left the venue and concluded your session.
  • Prohibited Substances: This policy applies to all intoxicants and illegal substances to ensure the absolute safety of our staff and players on the field.

Can my group play paintball mid-week?

Yes. Mid-week games are available at our Woodhill Forest centre, provided that the minimum spending requirement is met for the date.

  • Opening Requirements: To facilitate professional staffing and centre operations mid-week, a minimum spend is required. If this threshold is not reached, we are unable to open the centre on that specific date.
