Questions and answers

General questions

Do you have showers?

We have two shower rooms available. There is a coin deposit (10kr/ 3 min), coins are available on site. You should calculate extra time beyond what is set aside for the event if you need to use the shower rooms afterwards.

How many people do you need to play paintball?

To book a private event, you must be a minimum of 6 people. If you come on one of our open days (drop-in), you can come alone and play with others. With us you get personalized equipment and everyone plays at the same time.

How to get to Fana Paintball?

If you want to take the bus, you have to take line 71 Totland from Nesttun Terminal. We recommend checking departure times in advance. You then get off at the stop called Fjellbirkeland Øst, from there it is a 400m walk. Our address is Totlandsveien 232. There are plenty of parking spaces at the reception, but of course we encourage you to carpool. The last 400m you pass through a farmyard, so drive carefully!

How long do you play?

For groups of 6-20 people, you should allow about 2.5 hours from arrival to completion. Groups of more than 20 people should allow about 3 hours. The first 30 minutes are spent getting dressed, handing out equipment, reviewing safety rules and rules of the game. Most groups then play 3-4 rounds of 10-15 minutes playing time. When you have played a round, you need a break, refill bullets and maybe have something to drink. We recommend attendance no later than 15 minutes before booking.

Can I order food from you or bring my own?

If you wish, we can provide catering (you can find more options for this in the price calculator). You can also bring your own food and drinks. There is a kiosk on site that sells drinks and chocolate bars (note, limited selection in low season (November-March).

How to pay?

Payment is made after the event. Preferably by card, but we can take cash or vipps. Teams, clubs, associations and companies can receive an invoice.

What if I have to cancel, what do I do then?

You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours in advance of the event. If the number of participants changes, you only pay for those who come and participate. For cancellations at shorter notice or "no show", you will be invoiced 3000,-

Can I bring my own equipment to play paintball?

Yes!!! You pay the same participation fee as if you rent equipment from us. If you bring your own marker and air tank, check that the equipment works and that the air tank has not expired before you arrive. At drop-in, separate prices apply.

Do you get paint balls or are they rubber balls?

We use paintballs from GI, which is the world's most recognized manufacturer of paintballs. The paint goes away in the wash and is not harmful to the environment. The advantage of paintballs over rubber balls is, among other things, that you can see when you mark the opponent and you have a much longer range than rubber balls (up to about 120m)

What types of games do you have?

We have many types of games. The most popular ones are:
-Team deathmatch with respawn (about eliminating as many opponents as possible during the round, played with extra lives).
-Cross game (similar to domination, a game where you have to control zones on the field by turning over crosses colored red/blue).
-Various flag games.
-Attack & defense (one team attacks and the other defends).
Mission-based games (reserved for team building and larger events).

What clothes can you wear to play paintball?

With us, you can rent full-coverage camouflage-colored overalls made for paintball, less to wash yourself and you blend in with the terrain. You can of course use your own clothing. Hiking clothes, sweatpants, a hoodie, hat and buff are some of the things you can wear. Boots and waterproof hiking shoes when it's wet or snowing. Sneakers can be worn when there are longer periods of drought. Footwear and clothing according to weather conditions and season! You can rent boots from us.

How many bullets do you need?

For children's and young people's birthday parties, 300 balls per person and upwards are common. For bachelor parties, events and team building about 400 balls per person. You can adjust the number of balls during the event.

Do we get the lanes for ourselves?

Yes, you will have lanes to yourselves during games. There can be several groups with us at the same time, but all groups have their own instructors and you always have a court to yourself during games. Occasionally, some groups want to play against each other, we will of course organize this for you.
