Some Paintball Scenarios to play!
Capture the flag is the mainstay game in paintball. Normally this means both sides are challenged to defend their flag while trying to capture their opponent's flag.
Objective: Grab your opponent's flag and bring it back inside your starting base. First team to do so wins.
Time Limit: 15-20 minutes |
Defenders cannot leave the base area sometimes this is a walled in area, at others it is marked with flags. The attackers can attack from any place on the field.
Objectives: Attackers must grab the flag that is inside the defenders base; the defenders must stop them from getting into the base.
Time Limit: 15-20 minutes |
An attack/defend type of game, but the attacking team doesn't have to overtake the base that the defenders are holding. They simply have to shoot a very small target. Use a long piece of PVC pipe that stands straight up. On top of it, place a ball. Light enough that a paintball shot will knock it off the pipe but heavy enough that it won't just blow off in a light wind.
Objectives: The attacking team's goal is to shoot that ball off the pipe within a certain time limit. The defending team has to protect it.
Time Limit: 5-10 minutes |
A lot of you have probably played Predator or some form of it. It's basically, everybody against one person. The twist is that there are two simple rules that must be followed:
- If a Predator shoots you, you become a Predator.
- If a human shoots you, you're dead
It doesn't matter what you were before you got shot, the rules apply. Therefore, humans can kill each other but Predators can not.
Option: If someone asks if you're human or predator, you can NOT lie. You don't have to answer, but you can't lie.
Variation: Incorporate a "secret predator". This is one player who starts with the humans, but is actually a predator in disguise. The secret predator can not shoot any humans until the original predator has been located and shots are fired. This helps keep the human team from sticking too closely together and gives the original predator a better chance of catching a human alone for conversion. To select the secret predator, all humans line up facing in one direction. The original predator walks behind them and touches one on the back. That way, both predators know each other, but all the other humans have to be suspicious of each other.
Objective: The game ends when either all Predators are dead or when all surviving players have been converted to predator.
Time Limit: Normally 15-20 minutes

One member of the team is selected to be the Captain. The Captain is tied to one end of a 20 foot rope the other end is tied to an immobile object such as a tree or fence post.
Variation: The Captain is not tethered, but his paintgun is.
Objectives: Two teams must try to eliminate the other team's captain.
Time Limit: 5-10 minutes |
A Capture the Flag type of game but the teams can go back for reinforcements and the players eliminated go back to defend their base.
One player wears a special armband. This is the only player that can go back to the base to get reinforcements.
In this case players can elect to stay behind and defend the flag station.
When the player wearing the armband is eliminated, he proceeds back to the base and all eliminated players have no choice but to be reinforcements.
They cannot stay behind and defend the base.
If the flag is not at the base the players are considered out of the game as they enter the base.
Objectives: Capture the opposing team's flag and return it to your base.
Time Limit: 15-20 minutes |
Each player wears three armbands on one arm these are the trophies. A signal will sound every five minutes during the game signaling a new period.
Players who are hit must drop to the ground (safely!) and remain motionless and quiet until the next Five Minute Signal.
Another player (not necessarily the one who hit him) has the Waiting Period to collect one trophy.
Once the trophy is taken no more trophies can be taken from the player during that Period.
When the Five Minute Signal sounds the player is immediately in the game. When all a player's trophies are gone he is out of the game.
Objectives: The player with the most trophies wins.
Time Limit: 15-20 minutes |
