FAQ

Yes! We welcome walk-on players at all Delta Force Paintball locations across Canada, including Toronto. While we do our best to merge individual players with existing groups, please follow these guidelines for the smoothest experience:

Quick Checklist for Walk-On Players

• Check Daily Availability: Call our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909 before you leave. This ensures there are no private events or full-capacity sessions currently occupying the game zones.
• Age Requirement: All participants must be at least 10 years old for standard paintball games at our Canadian centres.
• Peak Times (Saturday & Sunday): Weekends are high-demand. Booked players receive priority; calling ahead helps you avoid waiting in Base Camp for the next rotation.

Why Pre-Booking is Better

While we love spontaneous players, most guests book in advance to:

1. Guarantee Gear: We pre-arrange gear for players that have already booked and paid.
2. Select Mission Times: Secure a specific start time for your preferred game zones.
3. Speed Up Check-in: Get through the registration process and onto the field faster.

Pro-Tip: If you are a walk-on player, try to arrive at least 15 minutes before a scheduled session start time. This gives our marshals enough time to fit you into a group safety briefing so you do not miss the first mission of the day!

All players are required to complete a registration form before they begin play. Players under 16 years must have their form signed by an adult; we suggest you send these out with your invitations. The other parents should return their completed registration forms for you to bring to the paintball centre on the day of the event. Our Parental Consent Form that is required at Delta Force paintball centres can be downloaded here.

Securing your mission at any of our world-class Canadian locations is simple. Because our centres often reach capacity weeks in advance, we recommend using one of the following methods to lock in your date:

• Call Our Event Coordinators: Reach us at 1-800-568-8909  for immediate assistance and to check live availability for weekend sessions and holiday events.
• Online Live Chat: Connect with our team via Live Chat for real-time quotes and quick answers about our immersive game zones like Prison Break or Tomb Raider.
• Online Enquiry: Submit a request via our Contact Us page, and one of our coordinators will get back to you promptly to finalize your booking.
• Centre Visits: If you would like to see our movie-set game zones in person before booking, please call 1-800-568-8909 to arrange a scheduled appointment with the Centre Manager.

Organizer Pro-Tip: Don’t wait for every guest to confirm or pay before booking! Secure your date with your core group today to ensure you don’t miss out on your preferred time slot. You can easily add more players to your squad as the game day approaches.

At Delta Force Paintball Canada, we cater to groups of all sizes! Whether you are coming alone or bringing a small squad, you can always get in on the action.

• No Minimum Group Size: There is no minimum number of players required to book a session. If you have a small group, we will simply team you up with other players of a similar age and ability to form a full game session, making for an even more exciting and competitive experience.

• Dedicated Teams (20+ Players): If you have a group of 20 or more players, you can form your own dedicated team to play together as a unit against other teams throughout the day.

• Private Games (40+ Players): To secure an exclusive Private Game—which grants your group exclusive use of the game zones with your own dedicated marshals and no outside players joined in—we generally require a minimum of 40 prepaid players.

• Centre Opening Minimums: While we accept all group sizes, please note that a minimum total number of players across all bookings is required to open a centre on any given day.

National Pro-Tip: If you are aiming for a private game but are just short on numbers, give our national booking office a call at 1-800-568-8909. We can check availability for your preferred date and help you find the best session to suit your group’s needs!

There is no minimum or maximum number of required players; any group size is fine. However there may be a minimum number of players required to open the site if no other groups are booked in for the time and day you request. You will need 20 players to form your own team and if you book a game of 40 players then you can secure your own private game.

While we occasionally accept last-minute bookings, we highly recommend booking at least 10–14 days in advance, especially for Saturdays and Sundays, which frequently sell out.

Yes! We recommend booking for your minimum confirmed players as early as possible. Our centres are the most popular in the country, and session spots fill up quickly—especially on weekends.

• Secure Your Date: Booking for your core group now ensures you don’t miss out on your desired date and session time. It’s better to lock in a slot for 10 people now than to wait for 20 and find the day is fully booked.

• Add Players Later: You are welcome to add more players to your booking up until a few days before your event. Simply call our national coordination team to check availability, and we will do our best to accommodate the extra recruits.

• Stress-Free Planning: Don’t let a few “maybe” responses hold up the entire group. Locking in the confirmed players now officially starts the countdown to game day and often encourages the “maybes” to commit!

National Pro-Tip: Demand for our movie-set game zones is high nationwide. We suggest booking for your “definites” today, then sending a “final call” to the rest of your group once the date is officially locked in. You can manage additions with a quick call to 1-800-568-8909.

At Delta Force Paintball Canada, we utilize modern technology to ensure the sport is accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of ages:

• Minimum Playing Age: Delta Force Paintball has set its minimum playing age to 10 years old. This ensures participants have the maturity to follow safety protocols and the physical capability to enjoy the missions.

• Supervision Requirements: While our professional marshals supervise all games, all players under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at the centre for the duration of the event.

• Universal .50 Calibre Technology: We utilize high-spec .50 calibre markers for all players aged 10 and up. These modern markers are lighter and use smaller paintballs, providing a much more comfortable, “low-impact” experience compared to the older .68 calibre equipment used elsewhere, while still maintaining high-velocity tactical excitement.

• Parental Consent: Please note that all players under the age of 16 must have a completed parental consent form signed before they can take to the field.

National Pro-Tip: Because our .50 calibre technology is standard for everyone, it is perfect for mixed-age groups and family outings! It allows 10-year-olds and adults to compete on a level playing field. If you have any questions about our equipment, please contact our national booking office at 1-800-568-8909.

Where possible we will join your group with a group of similar age. However, there are occasionally groups of mixed ages when parents like to play with their children, or there are older siblings joining in etc.

We know that chasing people for money can be the hardest part of organizing a group. To make the process as stress-free as possible, we offer flexible payment options:

• Secure the Date: The group organizer typically secures the desired date by paying for the minimum number of confirmed players.

• Individual Payments: We can often arrange for individual players to pay for their own packages, taking the pressure off the organizer.

• Flexible Management: Whether you want to pay in one lump sum or have players call in separately, our team is here to help. Please speak with our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909 to discuss the best way to manage your group’s payments.

Add as You Go: You can add more players to your booking as they confirm their attendance, up until a few days before your event (subject to availability).

You can easily purchase extra supplies at our on-site Base Camp kiosk during your event. Our shop is fully stocked with everything you need to maintain your tactical advantage:

• Group Packages: For the best value, we recommend our specialized group packages. Purchasing paintballs through these tiered options is significantly more cost-effective than buying individual 100-ball pods, ensuring your squad stays fully loaded for every mission.
• Paintball Refills: Individual refills are always available for purchase throughout the day if you need a quick top-up between games.
• Upgraded Gear: You can purchase tactical armoured gloves for added protection and grip. These are yours to keep!
• Payment Methods: We accept Cash, Debit, and Credit Cards (verified by PIN). Please note that we do not accept cheques.

National Pro-Tip: To maximise your game time, have your group decide on a package when you first check in. It’s the fastest and most economical way to keep everyone on the field and ensure you don’t have to head back to the kiosk between every mission!

There is no way of knowing how many paintballs any individual will use, as it depends on how trigger-happy you are. It is entirely up to each person how many paintballs they want to use but a good indication is about 200 paintballs per game zone. You can decide how many game zones you play and further paintballs are available to purchase on the day at your discretion.

At Delta Force Paintball Canada, we understand that plans can change. To ensure your group isn’t disadvantaged by a no-show, we have a clear “Credit Place” policy:

• Credit for Future Use: If a player is unable to attend on the day, their entire payment value—including their entry, equipment, and paintball allocation—is carried forward as a credit place on your booking profile. All prepayments and paintball allocations are non-refundable and non-transferable.

• Non-Transferable on the Day: Please note that these allocations are strictly non-transferable between players on the day. This means a no-show player’s paintballs cannot be used or shared by other members of the group during that session.

• Redeeming Your Credit: This credit can be applied to a future paintball booking at any of our Canadian centres, allowing the absent player (or a replacement) to join a future mission.

• Why this policy exists: We staff our centres and prepare professional-grade equipment based on your confirmed player count to ensure the best possible experience for all guests.

National Pro-Tip: If you know in advance your numbers have changed, call our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909. We recommend only prepaying for players who have 100% confirmed, as you can always add more recruits to your squad later!

Yes! Paintball is a world-class, all-weather outdoor sport, and our sessions proceed in almost all weather conditions—including rain and snow. Many players find that a light snowfall or a bit of rain adds a unique tactical challenge and extra excitement to the woodland-terrain game zones.

Our centres are fully equipped to ensure your group has a premium experience, regardless of the elements:

• Sheltered Base Camp: Every Delta Force location features a large, undercover Base Camp designed to keep your group dry and comfortable between missions.

• Secure Lockers: We provide on-site lockers at all centres to ensure your dry clothes, electronics, and valuables remain protected while you are on the field.

• Weather & Safety Policy: Cancellations are extremely rare. A session will only be postponed if the Centre Manager deems specific conditions (such as lightning or extreme gale-force winds) unsafe for players or staff.

• Force Majeure Policy: In the unlikely event that a session cannot proceed due to extreme weather, safety concerns, or “Force Majeure Events” (circumstances beyond reasonable human control), Delta Force Paintball reserves the right to issue a full-value credit for the booking instead of a refund. This credit is valid for a future booking and may be used by the original customer or transferred to another person.

National Pro-Tip: If rain or snow is forecast for your session, we recommend bringing a towel and a spare change of clothes to leave in your car. This ensures a comfortable and warm journey home after the action!

Yes. Free on-site parking is available, though spaces can be limited during peak periods. We strongly recommend carpooling where possible.

We offer flexible morning and afternoon sessions to suit your squad’s schedule. Because daylight and seasonal conditions vary across Canada, we recommend checking your specific date and location with our team.

• Standard Sessions: Typically, our morning sessions kick off at 10:00 am (Summer) and afternoon sessions at 1:30 pm (Summer).

• Winter Itinerary: During the shorter days of the Canadian winter, we often shift our start times (e.g., 9:00 am for mornings and 12:30 pm for afternoons) to maximize your “game time” before sunset.

• Seasonal Adjustments: We occasionally adjust session times to ensure your group gets the full movie-set experience regardless of the season.

• Travel Tip: Local traffic and weather conditions can be unpredictable! Please check your booking confirmation for your specific arrival time to ensure you don’t miss the essential safety briefing.

While spectators are not permitted on the active field for safety reasons, our Base Camp features sheltered seating where parents and friends can relax and meet players during breaks.

You will have the opportunity to check in with your group between missions as they return to the Base Camp to hydrate and refill their equipment. This is the perfect spot for parents to stay involved in the day’s excitement while remaining in a safe, controlled environment.

No alcohol is permitted on site. Any players who have been drinking or using illegal substances will be excluded from the games and asked to leave the centre.

Yes! We provide the perfect space for your group to refuel and celebrate at all our national locations. Whether you are hosting a birthday party or a corporate team-building day, here is how to plan your “HQ” lunch:

• Undercover Base Camp: Every Delta Force centre features a large, sheltered Base Camp with ample picnic-style seating. This area serves as your home base where you can relax, eat, and talk tactics between missions.

• BYO Food & Hydration: We encourage all recruits to bring their own packed lunches and plenty of water. Paintball is physically demanding, so staying well-hydrated is essential for a great day on the field.

• Birthday Cakes & Celebrations: Planning a birthday? You are more than welcome to bring a cake! Our Base Camp is the ideal spot to celebrate and sing “Happy Birthday” once the gear is handed back.

• On-Site Refreshments: If you need a quick energy boost, our on-site kiosk stocks cold drinks, chips, and chocolates to keep you going between missions.

• Catering & Delivery: While Delta Force does not provide on-site catering, you are welcome to organize an external delivery (such as pizza). Please ensure you are ready to meet the driver at the main entrance, as many of our venues are located in forested or rural areas.

National Pro-Tip: We recommend having light snacks during game breaks and saving your main lunch for after your final mission. This ensures everyone stays light on their feet and performs their best on the field!

A typical day is divided into two sessions:

• Morning Session: (Summer) Approx. 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (Winter: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)

Please contact our booking office for more details.

Staying fueled is the key to a great day of paintball! Here is how you can plan your meals at any of our national locations:

• On-Site Kiosk: Our Base Camp shop is stocked with a variety of snacks, including chocolates and chips, along with a range of cold drinks and sports beverages to keep you hydrated between missions.

• BYO Food & Drink: We encourage all groups to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages. Every Delta Force Base Camp offers ample undercover seating and picnic tables for your group to relax and refuel.

• External Catering & Delivery: Delta Force Paintball does not provide on-site catering. You are welcome to organize your own external food delivery (such as pizza) to the centre.

  • Note: As many of our centres are located in beautiful forested or rural settings, please ensure you provide the delivery driver with clear instructions and are prepared to meet them at the main entrance.

• Celebrate with Cake: Planning a birthday party? You are more than welcome to bring a birthday cake to enjoy in the Base Camp during your lunch break!

National Pro-Tip: Most of our players bring a portable cooler with sandwiches, fruit, and plenty of water or sports drinks. It’s the best way to ensure your squad stays energized for the full session without having to leave the Base Camp!

For the best safety and comfort, Delta Force Paintball Canada recommends wearing old, comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. As the industry leader in paintball safety, we provide professional-grade protective equipment to every player as part of your admission.

Expert Clothing Recommendations:

• Base Layers: Wear light, breathable “old” clothes—such as a t-shirt and gym shorts or leggings—underneath the combat suit we provide. This prevents overheating while ensuring a comfortable fit.
• The Delta Force Combat Suit: Every player is issued a custom-designed, full-length combat suit with a high padded collar. This is specifically engineered to protect your skin and personal clothes from the elements and paint.
• Essential Footwear: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes with good tread are essential for our varied forested terrain. The most suitable footwear is a light boot with deep tread and ankle support, though old trainers/sneakers are also commonly worn.

• • Please Note: Sandals, flip-flops, and any open-toed footwear are strictly prohibited.

Essential Gear & Extras:

• Standard Safety Equipment: Your admission includes our industry-leading safety kit: full-head protection goggles, custom-designed body armour, and your combat suit.
• Optional Tactical Upgrades: While your torso and head are covered, paintball gloves and groin guards are available to purchase at the centre kiosk, or you are welcome to bring your own.
• Post-Game Comfort: We strongly suggest bringing a change of clothes and a towel for the conclusion of the game. You’ll appreciate fresh, dry clothes for the journey home!
• Ammunition & Refreshments: You may want to bring some extra money (Cash, Debit, or Credit) for purchasing additional paintballs, snacks, or drinks during your session.

National Pro-Tip: During the Canadian winter, a light hoodie or thermal layer underneath your combat suit provides excellent added padding and warmth. For any specific gear questions, contact our national office at 1-800-568-8909 .

Yes! You are welcome to use your own paintball goggles, combat suits, and markers at our centres. However, please note that the use of any personal equipment is at the absolute discretion of the Centre Manager on the day. To ensure the safety of all players, any gear that does not meet our specific technical standards will not be permitted on the field.

Marker Requirements & Safety Inspections

To use your own marker, it must pass a mandatory inspection and meet the following criteria:

• .50 Calibre Only: We exclusively use .50 calibre paintballs. Your marker must be compatible with this size; standard .68 calibre markers are strictly prohibited.

• Chronograph Test: The manager will perform a test to ensure your marker is firing below 300 FPS (feet per second) to comply with site safety and insurance regulations.

• Air Systems: We operate a strict “no customer-owned gas cylinders” policy. You may not bring your own tanks or bottles on-site. Our marshals will provide and attach Delta Force air bottles (DOT/TC stamped) to your marker, provided they are compatible.

• Air Refills: Our marshals will refill the provided bottles to 3000 PSI after every “double game” (approximately every 30 minutes) to ensure you have plenty of gas.

Maintenance & Field Safety

• Base Camp Policy: We operate a strict “no markers in Base Camp” policy to ensure the safety of non-playing guests.

• The Gun Zone: When not in active play, your marker must be safely racked in our designated Gun Zone. You may perform any necessary maintenance in this area between missions.

• Approved Paintballs: For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by Delta Force on the day of your event may be used. External paintballs are strictly prohibited.

Why We Inspect Gear

We prioritise the safety of our community. If your personal gear is not approved by the Centre Manager, you will be required to use our high-quality rental equipment for the duration of the session.

Pro-Tip: If you are planning to bring your own marker, give us a quick shout at 1-800-568-8909 before your session. Our team can help confirm if your specific model is typically compatible with our .50 calibre air systems, saving you time during the morning check-in!

No. For safety and environmental reasons, only paintballs supplied by Delta Force Paintball on the day of your event are permitted for use at our centres. To maintain our high standards and protect our players, we enforce the following policies:

Why We Only Use Site-Issued Paintballs

• Environmental Protection: Our centres are often located in pristine woodland settings. We are strictly committed to using only high-quality, fully biodegradable paintballs that are safe for the local Canadian ecosystem.

• Impact Safety: We ensure our paintballs are stored in climate-controlled conditions so they remain “frangible” (meaning they break easily on impact). External paintballs can become brittle or dangerously hard if stored incorrectly, posing a significant safety risk to other players.

• No “Bring Backs”: To maintain our safety guarantee, paintballs that have been taken off-site cannot be brought back for future use. Once paint leaves our controlled environment, we can no longer verify its quality, calibre, or safety.

Pro-Tip: If you have leftover paintballs at the end of your session, feel free to gift them to another player still on the field! Since paint cannot be brought back for your next visit, sharing the ammo is a great way to make a new friend in the Base Camp before you head home.

At Delta Force Paintball, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. While you may feel a slight “sting” similar to a quick flick of a rubber band, our industry-leading safety gear is specifically designed to minimize impact and maximize fun.

To ensure a comfortable and safe experience for every player, we provide:

• .50 Calibre Technology: We use a smaller, lighter calibre of paintball. This reduces impact energy significantly compared to traditional paintball centres, making the game much more approachable and enjoyable for players aged 10 and up.
• Bespoke Body Armour: Our custom-designed plates protect the torso, significantly absorbing the feel of any impact and providing you with added confidence on the field.
• Full-Body Combat Suits: These durable suits feature integrated padded neck collars for extra protection in sensitive areas.
• Full-Head Goggle Systems: Unlike standard goggles, our systems wrap entirely around the head, providing 360-degree protection for the ears, temples, and face.
• Professional Marshalling: Our marshals strictly enforce a “distance rule” on the field, ensuring no one is shot from close range.

National Pro-Tip: We recommend wearing loose, breathable clothing underneath your combat suit. This adds an extra buffer and allows for a full range of motion. For those wanting maximum protection, armoured gloves are available at our on-site kiosks to protect your hands!

Yes. Paintball is an extremely safe activity at Delta Force Paintball. We maintain a 100% safety record through strict protocols and the use of industry-leading equipment designed for players aged 10 and up.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and younger players, we provide:

• Low-Impact .50 Calibre Technology: Our markers use a smaller, lighter calibre that reduces impact energy significantly compared to traditional paintball, making it much more comfortable for new players.

• Full-Head Goggle Systems: Our goggles feature a wrap-around system that protects the face, temples, and ears.

• Bespoke Body Armour: Custom-designed torso protection is issued to all players as a standard safety requirement.

• Professional Marshalling: Highly trained marshals supervise every game, enforce “no-fire” zones, and ensure all safety rules are strictly followed.

Information for Parents

We believe that parents are the best judges of their children’s readiness for adventure. Parents need to know about the nature of the activity and decide for themselves whether their particular child is hardy and mature enough to participate in paintball.

To help you with this decision, we have compiled a comprehensive “Information for Parents” guide. This can be included in your initial information pack or requested directly from our friendly staff by calling 1-800-568-8909.

National Pro-Tip: All players under the age of 16 must have a completed parental consent form. We recommend providing the “Information for Parents” guide to other parents in your group along with the registration link to ensure everyone feels confident and prepared for game day.

No. There are no strict height or weight restrictions to play at Delta Force Paintball Canada. We aim to make paintball accessible to as many people as possible; however, players should consider the following factors to ensure they have the best experience:

• Equipment & Sizing: Our combat suits and padded body armour are highly adjustable. We stock a wide range of sizes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for various body types.

• Physical Requirements: Players must be able to move independently and safely through our movie-set game zones. The activity involves navigating uneven, forested terrain, which includes walking, crouching, and moving over natural obstacles.

• Goggle Fit & Vision: Our full-head safety goggles are adjustable and designed to fit comfortably on most head sizes. If you wear glasses, our goggles are specifically designed to fit over most frames, allowing you to maintain clear vision during your missions.

• Health Considerations: Because paintball is a physically active sport, we recommend that players with pre-existing medical conditions or physical limitations consult with a physician before booking.

National Pro-Tip: If you have specific concerns regarding sizing, physical accessibility, or medical requirements, please contact our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909. Our coordinators are happy to discuss your needs to ensure your entire squad has a safe and enjoyable day on the field!
