General Paintball Questions
Paintball is an exciting recreational game played year round. There are many different types of games played, including elimination, capture the flag, and attack and defend. The most basic game, “Capture the Flag”, has an obvious objective: Capture the other team’s flag and return it to your team’s home base for the win, while defending your own flag from the other team.
Each player uses a paintball marker powered by compressed air that shoots the paintballs. The paintballs are colorful gelatin capsules filled with a brightly colored, washable liquid. Upon contact, the paintballs split open, leaving a splat of color that marks the player out of the game. The more opponents that are eliminated, the easier it is to capture the flag.
Most games are around 10 minutes, so a marked player, while eliminated from the previous game, simply wipes off the splat and jumps into the next new game.
Paintball is very safe and in a controlled environment. Many insurance research companies consider it safer than hobbies like bowling and tennis. It is not a contact sport.
Synergy Woods is committed to providing safe, enjoyable paintball games for all players. Each player must attend a safety and rules orientation prior to playing.
Players are expected to follow the rules at all times.

The most important thing to remember is that we are an all outdoor facility and we play paintball rain, shine, sleet or snow. It's always a good idea to wear clothing and shoes that you expect to get dirty, muddy and paint covered. Don't worry, the paint washes right out.
It's also a good idea to layer up on clothing or bring a change of clothes. You may want to bring a garbage bag to put your dirty clothes in for the ride home.
Paintball Gear Questions
Synergy Woods can supply all the equipment and supplies needed to play paintball. We have masks, chest protectors and disposable coveralls. Our markers are serviced weekly to keep them performing for you. We carry high quality paintballs to make sure you have the best chances of eliminating your opponent!
We also sell paint grenades and other tactical gear to give you the winning edge.
We encourage you to wear loose fitting, dark clothing. You don’t have to wear camouflage fatigues, but if you have a pair, feel free!
Comfortable, close-toed footwear is a must. Boots are best, as we are an outdoor, wood- based field. We DO NOT recommend shorts, open toe shoes, tank tops, halters, or short-sleeved shirts, as much of the play is in the woods and paintballs making direct skin impact can be painful.
