How many paintballs will I use?
This is a difficult question to answer. Players usually get 50 paintballs in their initial standard package. After 20 years of being in business, the statistics show that about half of the DARK ARMIES' players don't buy more paint. Obviously about half of them do.
Don't confuse or let a member of your party confuse DARK ARMIES with a typical outdoor facility. Paintball use is a very small percentage in the indoor DARK ARMIES facility when compared to a typical outdoor facility. Most outdoor facilities require a high volume of paintball use. In an outdoor facility, you see an opponent at further distances and often launch lots of paintballs to "reach" your opponent. Often players will hide in bunkers and behind trees and lots of paintballs are wasted while attempting to hold that opponent down or to get a lucky shot to hit. Add in the wind and tree limbs and you've used hundreds to thousands of paintballs before you know it.
DARK ARMIES is indoors and is black lit. You see a player and get a shot or two off to eliminate him or he disappears into one of the buildings and you're hunting him again...or now he will be hunting you!!!
The writer of this is not an avid player and always uses a semi-automatic upgrade and it is not uncommon for me to use over 1000 paintballs per hour in an outdoor facility. I've never used 200 in two hours in the DARK ARMIES facility.
Everyone is a little different. Players that use an upgraded gun tend to shoot more paint than the average but even then it is not thousands like in the outdoor facility.
Can our group play just by ourselves? Can we have a private session?
DARK ARMIES game times are generally scheduled by our customers at their convenince. To start a session, when there is not one already scheduled during our normal business hours would require a minimum of 6 players. Outside our normal business hours requires a minimum of 10 players. (normal business hours) Starting a new session means that at the time the reservation is taken that your group would be the first and only ones in the session at that point. If no other customers are interested in your game time, DARK ARMIES will still run the session with just your group. With this small of a reservation, DARK ARMIES DOES NOT GUARANTEE that the session will be private. A private session requires a minimum number of reservations explained below.
Private sessions are available. There is no extra charge for this service but does require a minimum number of guaranteed paid reservations at game time. These initial reservations are as follows:
