Common questions

What these games have in common is that they work for a group and badly for one person. Beyond that they differ in everything: impact, age minimums, session length and price. The tabs above split them, and the age of the group is usually the quickest way to choose.

Which place is right for us?

There are 19 venues here across several kinds of games, from indoor arenas to outdoor fields. The tabs above split them by game; after that, three things sort the list quickly — the starting price, indoor or outdoor, and the reviews. Full details open with More, without leaving the page.

How much does it cost?

The lowest entry price here is $5 per person, at Xtreme Paintball in Austin. Every card shows a starting price the same way, and starting is the operative word: it covers the simplest package, usually one game and basic rental. The final number depends on group size, how many rounds you play, and the day of the week — weekdays are cheaper almost everywhere, and groups of ten or more usually get a better rate per head.

Does the weather matter?

You have 13 indoor venues and 6 outdoor to choose between. It is less about comfort than about the game: indoors means close quarters, predictable light and no weather; outdoors means cover, distance and a different kind of play. Groups with small children usually end up indoors; groups who want a long session usually end up outside.

What is there for a childrens party?

11 venues here are equipped for it: Party Room — 9 venues, Birthday Packages — 9, Arcade — 7, Party Host — 5. Not every place runs parties, so that number matters more than it looks — a venue without a party room can still host the game, but the cake and the presents end up wherever there is a table. Ask about the age minimum and whether outside food is allowed.

Is there anywhere to eat?

Usually yes: 13 venues have something on site — Lounge Area — 12 venues, Soft Drinks — 8, Bar — 5. Worth knowing before you plan the day, because a group that can eat where it played stays an hour longer and spends that hour celebrating rather than driving. If you want to bring your own cake or catering, check that specifically — policies differ and some venues do not allow it at all.

Can we make a whole afternoon of it?

7 venues have something beyond the game itself: Arcade — 7 venues, Bowling — 4, Go-Karts — 2, Escape Rooms — 1. The others are built around one activity, which suits a group that knows exactly what it came for.

Are there changing rooms?

19 venues here have the basics covered: On-Site Referees — 19 venues, Gear Rental — 14, Changing Rooms — 8. These are the details nobody thinks about until they are missing — a place to change out of the gear, somewhere to keep bags, a room that is a reasonable temperature in August. The icons on each card show what that venue has, and More opens the full list.

What do only a few places have?

Rare on this list: Go-Karts — 2 venues, Event Photos — 1, Escape Rooms — 1. Each of these is at a small number of venues, so if you want one specifically, start there rather than filtering by price.
