Yes! We welcome walk-on players at Delta Force Paintball Woodhill Forest. If you drop in, our onsite staff will aim to match you with an existing group so you can get straight into the action.
To ensure you have the best experience on the day, we recommend the following:
-
Check Daily Availability: Before you head out, give our New Zealand booking office a quick call on 0800 850 744. We can confirm the best arrival times for the Woodhill Forest centre and ensure there are no private events currently occupying the game zones.
-
Peak Weekend Tips: Saturdays and Sundays are our busiest days. We prioritize players with existing bookings, so calling ahead helps you avoid a potential wait in the base camp for the next available session.
-
MiniBall Equipment (Ages 7+): If you are interested in MiniBall, pre-booking is essential. Because this low-impact version of the game uses specialized, lightweight equipment, sets are limited. Please call our 0800 number to confirm availability at the Woodhill Forest location before traveling.
-
Local Pro-Tip: Most players at Woodhill Forest book in advance to secure their preferred time slots. A quick phone call before you leave home ensures that we have your gear prepped and a session waiting for you the moment you arrive!
Yes. To comply with safety regulations and ensure a smooth start to your day, all players are required to complete an online registration form before arriving at the Woodhill Forest centre.
-
Under 16s: Players under the age of 16 must have their registration form completed and signed by a parent or guardian.
-
Group Tip: To get your team onto the battlefield as quickly as possible, we recommend sending the registration link to your entire group via your digital invitations or group chat. This allows our staff to have your gear ready the moment you check in.
-
Accessing the Link: Your unique group registration link is provided in your booking confirmation email. If you cannot find it, please contact our booking office on 0800 850 744, and we can resend it to you.
-
Why Online? Completing this online ensures we don’t have crowds gathering in the base camp filling out paperwork, meaning more time for you to spend out in the game zones!
Securing your spot at our premier New Zealand location is easy. Given that our centre often reaches capacity weeks in advance—especially for popular weekend slots—we recommend using one of the following methods:
-
Call Our Event Coordinators: Reach us on 0800 850 744 for immediate assistance and to check live availability for upcoming sessions.
-
Online Live Chat: Connect with our team via Live Chat for real-time quotes and quick answers about our world-class game zones like Tomb Raider or Resident Evil.
-
Online Enquiry: Submit a request via our Contact Us page, and we will get back to you promptly to finalise your booking details.
-
Centre Visits: If you would like to see our movie-set props in person before booking, please call 0800 850 744 to arrange a scheduled appointment with the Centre Manager.
Organiser Pro-Tip: Don’t wait for every guest to pay before booking! Secure your preferred date with your core group today to avoid missing out. You can always add more “young guns” or recruits to your squad closer to the event date.
At Delta Force Paintball Woodhill Forest, we cater to groups of all sizes. Whether you are coming alone or bringing a squad, you can always get in on the action. Your level of exclusivity is based on your final headcount:
-
No Minimum Group Size: You do not need a large group to play. Solo players and small groups are simply teamed up with others of a similar age and ability to form a full, high-energy game session.
-
Dedicated Teams (20+ Players): If you have a group of 20 or more, you will have enough players to form your own dedicated team to play together against other teams throughout the day.
-
Private Games (40+ Players): To secure a Private Game—which grants your group exclusive use of the game zones with your own dedicated marshals and no outside players—a minimum of 40 prepaid players is required.
-
Woodhill Pro-Tip: If you are aiming for a private game but are slightly short on numbers, call our New Zealand booking office on 0800 850 744. We can check the schedule and help you find the best session structure to suit your group’s needs.
At Delta Force Paintball Woodhill Forest, we accommodate groups of all sizes—from individual players to large corporate events. Your group size simply determines how your session is structured:
-
Small Groups & Solo Players: There is no minimum number required to book. If you have a small group, we will match you with other players of similar age and ability to ensure a high-energy, competitive atmosphere.
-
Forming Your Own Team: If you bring 20 or more players, you will typically have enough people to form your own dedicated team to compete against other groups.
-
Private Game Requirements: To secure a Private Game (where your group plays exclusively on the game zones with dedicated marshals), a minimum of 40 prepaid players is required.
-
Centre Opening Minimums: While we accept all group sizes, the centre requires a minimum total number of players across all combined bookings to open on a specific day. If your requested date hasn’t met this threshold, our team will contact you to discuss the best alternative times.
-
Organizer Pro-Tip: Don’t wait for a final headcount to secure your spot. Book for your “definites” now to lock in the date, then add extra players later by calling 0800 850 744 (subject to gear availability).
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. Woodhill Forest is one of the most popular paintball destinations in Auckland, 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 much 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 New Zealand coordination team on 0800 850 744 to check availability, and we will do our best to accommodate the extra players.
-
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!
-
Woodhill Pro-Tip: Demand for our forest game zones is high. 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 easily manage any additions with a quick call to our team on 0800 850 744.
The minimum age to play paintball in New Zealand is generally younger than in other regions, making it a favorite for family outings and school groups.
-
MiniBall (Ages 7–9): A specialized low-impact version of the game designed for younger players. It uses smaller, spring-powered markers that are easy for kids to handle.
-
Standard Paintball (Ages 10+): Our standard games use .50 calibre technology, which is perfect for players aged 10 and up.
-
Parental Consent: All players under the age of 16 must have a registration form completed by a parent or guardian before they can take to the field.
New Zealand Pro-Tip: To ensure your group gets straight onto the field, we recommend having all parents complete the online registration form before your game day. If you’re organizing a birthday party, you can easily share your unique registration link via a group chat or email—this avoids any check-in delays at the location and maximizes your actual game time!
At Delta Force Paintball Woodhill Forest, we prioritize a balanced, fair, and age-appropriate experience for all our players.
-
Age-Matched Groups: Whenever possible, we match groups with other players of a similar age and experience level. This ensures that a group of 8-year-olds isn’t on the field competing against a high-energy corporate team.
-
Family Flexibility: You may occasionally see mixed-age groups on the field. This usually happens when parents or older siblings choose to play alongside younger family members—a popular choice for family birthday celebrations.
-
Strict Supervision: Regardless of the age mix, every game is strictly supervised by our professional marshals. They enforce a “no-contact” distance rule and ensure a fun, inclusive environment for everyone.
-
MiniBall Exclusivity (Ages 7–9): Our MiniBall sessions are specifically designed for our youngest players. These games are played with specialized equipment and are typically limited to peers and accompanying adults to keep the environment low-pressure and high-fun.
Woodhill Pro-Tip: Because MiniBall (Ages 7–9) uses specialized, lightweight gear, we have a limited number of sets available per session. To avoid disappointment, we recommend calling us on 0800 850 744 to pre-book your equipment as early as possible.
