About paintball.
Split into teams, choose your tactics and head onto the field. Paintball brings active team battles, different missions, accurate shots and competition until the final round.
Paintball is an active team game where players use compressed-air paintball markers and paint-filled balls. When a ball hits an opponent, it bursts and leaves a visible paint mark, making each hit easy to see. Accurate shooting alone is not enough to beat the opposing team. Quick reactions, movement, tactics and teamwork also matter. GUNSnLASERS offers classic paintball, soft paintball and reball, a paintball version played with rubber balls.
GUNSnLASERS paintball games take place on specially designed indoor and outdoor fields with different obstacles, cover and themed elements. This gives teams the opportunity to change tactics in every round and use the field to their advantage. The game host runs several missions, such as team versus team, raising the flag, tiger hunt, free for all and transporting an explosive fuel can. Before the game, the instructor introduces the equipment, explains the safety rules and prepares the teams for their first challenge.
Paintball in Riga is suitable for groups of friends, birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, school events and corporate team building. Players are divided into teams and receive a new objective in each round, so they need to adapt, cooperate and make quick decisions throughout the game. If teams have not been formed in advance, GUNSnLASERS instructors help divide players as evenly as possible to keep the competition interesting for both sides.
GUNSnLASERS paintball fields differ in setting, size and gameplay possibilities, so each location offers a different experience. Šampēteris has spacious indoor and outdoor fields in an industrial setting inside the former Zasulauks textile factory, and the illuminated fields also allow games after dark. In Mežaparks, paintball takes place on the grounds of a former military base, where natural terrain, an old railway platform, military buildings and other tactical elements shape the game environment. After the game, both locations offer space to continue the event, relax and spend time together.

More about paintball fields in Riga.
GUNSnLASERS paintball in Riga is available at Mežaparks Entertainment Park. Games take place on five outdoor fields in a pine forest on the grounds of a former military base. Paintball is suitable for players from the age of 10, as well as groups of friends, birthday parties and corporate events.
Jugla Park
Jugla plays paintball indoors, in the halls of the old Jugla Manufactory, so a booking in November runs exactly like one in July. The cover is built rather than grown, which makes for shorter sight lines and closer rounds than the forest.
Paintball starts at twelve, and soft paintball and reball run here too, reball from eight, so a group split by age can split between them. A marshal runs every round, and the lounge looks straight onto the arena for anyone sitting one out.
Karting and the party rooms are under the same roof, and the changing rooms help after a game that ends in paint. Mārkalnes iela 10 is open daily 10:00 to 22:00, with free parking by the door where buses fit too.

Party packages.
View all packagesA party pack is a ready-made celebration: the game, a space for your own table, and extra activities — all in one per-person price. Below are only the packs that include indoor paintball, at Šampēteris. Mežaparks packs are put together per group. Everything else we offer is available on the all party packages page.
How to choose the right paintball party package?
The best way to choose a paintball party package is based on the desired level of game intensity, equipment and overall experience on the field. Classic paintball offers the traditional game with paintballs and a more noticeable impact, SOFT paintball is a gentler option with less impact, while reball uses paint-free rubber balls.
The Jugla arenas are indoors and play all year, so the date is never at the mercy of the weather. The Mežaparks forest fields run from April to October, and packs there are put together per group: tell us the group and the date, and the day is built around them.
SOFT paintball is suitable for players aged 10 and up, reball, or paintball with rubber balls, from 12, while classic paintball is suitable from age 14. For children aged four and up, laser tag is a suitable alternative.
Paintball is best suited for groups where it is possible to form two teams and play several short scenarios. It works well for small groups of friends, school trips and larger corporate events.
Who is paintball suitable for?
Paintball in Riga is suitable for teenagers and adults looking for an active team game with movement, tactics and competition. GUNSnLASERS paintball is a popular choice for birthdays, school trips, bachelor and bachelorette parties, events with friends and corporate team building.
For birthdays
A paintball birthday turns the celebration into a team competition where each round has its own objective and outcome.
Paintball is suitable for both teenagers’ and adults’ birthdays, especially for groups who want to add some excitement and action to a traditional celebration. Before the game, an instructor explains the rules, provides the equipment and divides the participants into teams, followed by several different game scenarios. For adult groups, paintball is particularly engaging as it combines healthy competition, team tactics and a shared experience that gives everyone plenty to talk about after the game. If the group prefers a gentler option, SOFT paintball is also available.
BirthdaysPaintball for children and teenagers
Paintball for children and teenagers offers a real team competition with tactics, hiding spots and excitement, with a game format chosen according to age.
SOFT paintball is suitable from age 10, reball with rubber balls from age 12, while classic paintball is suitable from age 14. Before the game, participants receive protective equipment and a safety briefing, while an instructor supervises the field during the games. The different types of paintball allow players to gradually move from a gentler game to a more dynamic and intense experience. For children aged four and up, laser tag is a suitable alternative, with hits registered electronically and no physical contact.
About laser tagSchool trips
Paintball adds more excitement, action and real team competition to a school trip, where success depends not only on accuracy but also on how well the team works together.
Paintball, SOFT paintball and reball make school trips more dynamic, as students split into teams, plan tactics, use hiding spots and compete across several game scenarios. Mežaparks’ spacious fields in a pine forest provide a suitable setting for an active class event where both accuracy and teamwork matter. Depending on the students’ age, they can choose SOFT paintball from age 10, reball with rubber balls from age 12 or classic paintball from age 14. After the game, the class can continue spending time together in the picnic and recreation areas, while GUNSnLASERS also offers programs specially designed for school groups.
School tripsFor bachelor and bachelorette parties
If you want real competition rather than a relaxed get-together for a bachelor or bachelorette party, paintball is one of the most action-packed choices.
The group splits into teams, plays several scenarios, looks for the best tactics and tries to outplay the opposing team in each round. No previous experience is required. Before the game, an instructor explains the rules, how to use the equipment and how the game works. At Šampēteris, you can play in an industrial setting with various obstacles and hiding spots, while Mežaparks offers spacious pine forest fields with bunkers, buildings and elements of a former military base.
Bachelor and bachelorette partiesFor corporate events
Paintball brings healthy competition and team challenges to a team-building event, where the result depends not only on accuracy but also on teamwork, tactics and communication.
Each round has its own objective, so accurate shooting alone is not enough — teams need to agree on a plan, divide roles and work together. Paintball is suitable for both small teams and larger corporate events, and no previous experience is required. Šampēteris offers an industrial playing environment in Riga, while at Mežaparks teams compete across spacious outdoor fields in a pine forest.
Corporate eventsPaintball with friends
Some evenings with friends stay in your memory longer than others, and a game of paintball is definitely one of them.
Each round starts with a new plan, assigned roles and an attempt to surprise the opposing team, quickly turning the game into a real competition. Paintball is suitable for an active evening with friends, a birthday or a shared weekend activity in Riga. At Šampēteris, the game takes place in an industrial setting with various obstacles and hiding spots, while Mežaparks offers spacious pine forest fields with bunkers, buildings and natural terrain.

Frequently asked questions about paintball.
The word paintball refers to a ball filled with paint. It is a team game played with special compressed-air guns called markers. The ball shell is made of gelatin and filled with food-grade colouring. The aim is to eliminate opponents using agility, tactics and quick reactions. When a paintball hits an opponent, it bursts and leaves a paint mark, which means the player is eliminated from the game. Paintball has become a popular form of entertainment and active recreation around the world.
GUNSnLASERS offers three types of paintball: classic paintball, soft paintball and reball. Each differs in game intensity, the type of balls used and how the hit feels, so the best option can be chosen according to the participants' age, experience and preferences. Classic paintball uses paint-filled balls that burst on impact and leave a visible mark on clothing. Soft paintball is designed for a gentler game with lower impact, making it especially suitable for younger players and first-time paintball players. Reball uses reusable balls without paint. There is no ball limit in this version, so players can focus more on dynamic gameplay, movement and tactics.
It depends on whether the safety rules are followed. If the player wears sufficiently protective clothing and the marker is adjusted correctly, the hit should not cause significant discomfort. If these conditions are not followed, bruising or redness can occur. The distance from which the shot is fired also affects how the hit feels.
Classic paintball at GUNSnLASERS is available from age 10. For younger players, the marker power can be adjusted to make hits gentler. GUNSnLASERS instructors help choose the most suitable paintball option for each group. For younger children, we recommend laser paintball, also known as laser tag.
For paintball, choose comfortable clothing that allows you to run, crouch and move freely, together with closed sports shoes. If the game takes place outdoors, dress for the weather. Paintball colour washes out, but if you prefer not to play in your own clothes, protective overalls can be rented at GUNSnLASERS for €5 each.
A paintball game is not limited to one scenario. GUNSnLASERS instructors have prepared several game variations and missions selected according to group size, player experience and the flow of the game. This allows teams to change tactics, objectives and pace from round to round, keeping the activity engaging throughout. Popular missions include team versus team, raising the flag, tiger hunt, free for all and transporting an explosive fuel can. Before each mission, the instructor explains the rules and objective so players know what they need to achieve and how to win.
GUNSnLASERS paintball is suitable for groups of friends, birthday parties, bachelor parties and corporate events. Games take place on themed fields in Šampēteris and Mežaparks, with options to play during the day and in the evening. Experienced instructors explain the rules, lead the missions and support the teams throughout the game. For added convenience, spacious free parking is available near the fields. Games use professional equipment and quality paintballs, while marker power can be adjusted for gentler hits. The GUNSnLASERS team has extensive experience organising different paintball events, so the game can be adapted for both smaller groups of friends and larger corporate events.
