The Classic Shootout

Quick-Fire Duels to Kick Things Off

Every proper paintball bucks party kicks off with a straight-up duel, doesn't it? No fancy tactics. No hiding behind cover like a scared possum. Just pure, unfiltered trigger discipline to see who’s got the deadliest aim.

How to Play:

Two warriors step into the battlefield, back to back.

Take five paces forward, just like an old-school Wild West showdown.

At the ref’s signal, turn and fire!

First to land a hit wins and stays in. Next challenger steps up.

There’s always one bloke who swears he’s "never played before" but suddenly moves like John Wick. Watch out for him.

Capture the Stag

Time to Hunt the Groom and Guard Him with Your Life

A bucks party paintball war needs a VIP and who better than the groom-to-be? This game turns him into the most wanted man on the battlefield, and it’s up to his team to keep him out of enemy hands.

How to Play:

The buck starts in the center of the field with two bodyguards.

The rest of the crew splits into attackers and defenders.

Attackers must capture the buck by tagging him with a shot and dragging him to their base.

Defenders must escort him to safety without letting him get hit.

If the buck takes three hits, he’s out, and chaos erupts.

Warning: The buck might think he’s invincible and charge straight at enemy lines. Do your best to keep him alive—he’s got a wedding to get to!

Last Man Standing

No mercy-Only One Can Win

This one separates the real warriors from the panicked paint magnets. No teams, no alliances—just every man for himself in an all-out battle to the last survivor.

How to Play:

Everyone starts with five lives.

Take a hit, lose a life. Run out of lives, you’re out.

No respawns, no mercy. Once you're out, you're just another spectator dodging stray shots.

Last player standing wins eternal glory and full bragging rights.

Bucks Party Pro Tip: Someone will try to hide in a bush until the last minute. Don’t let them. Hunt them down.

The Stag Hunt

The groom’s on the run and you’re all out for revenge

Time to turn the tables and make the buck work for his survival. In this game, the groom is the prey, and everyone else? A pack of paint-thirsty hunters.

How to Play:

The buck gets a 10-second head start to run for his life.

The rest of the crew hunts him down and has five minutes to land a shot.

If the buck survives the time limit without getting hit, he wins and gets to dish out a punishment round for the worst shooter.

If he gets tagged, the hunter who landed the shot gets VIP status for the next game.

Survival Tip for the Buck: Running in a straight line is a rookie mistake. Zig-zag like your life depends on it. Because, well… it kinda does.

Medic Mayhem

Get Hit, Get Revived, Then Get Back in the Fight

This one's for the true warriors who can take a hit and keep going. Unlike the usual "one shot and you're out" rule, this game brings in combat medics who can revive their fallen teammates—if they can reach them in time.

How to Play:

Each team chooses a medic who wears a bright vest (and probably regrets it instantly).

If you get hit, drop to the ground and wait for your medic.

Medics must tag downed players to bring them back into the fight.

If the medic gets hit, game over—your team fights to the bitter end.

Last team standing wins the war.

Pro Tip: Medics will be target number one, so expect them to start sprinting like their rent is due. Protect yours at all costs.

The Paintball Gauntlet

The buck’s sprinting for glory while his mates let loose for laughs

Every bucks party needs a rite of passage, and this is it. The buck must prove his worth by surviving the ultimate paint-fueled trial. Running through a hail of fire while his mates make sure he feels the sting of friendship.

How to Play:

The buck starts at one end of the field.

Everyone else lines up on either side with fully loaded markers and zero sympathy.

On the ref’s signal, the buck sprints for his life to the other end.

If he makes it, he’s officially a legend. If not, at least the bruises make for great wedding photos.

Survival Tip for the Buck: Don’t stop running. Ever. Pausing to scream in pain is how you get turned into a human canvas.

The Grand Finale: Blindfold Barrage

Blindfold on, chaos incoming, mates in control

If the buck has made it this far, it’s time to see how much he really trusts his mates. This game is the ultimate test of friendship, bravery, and the ability to take a few hits without crying.

How to Play:

The buck gets blindfolded and handed a paintball marker.

His teammates guide him using only their voices to take down targets.

Meanwhile, the opposing team gets one minute of free shots to keep things interesting.

The round ends when the buck lands a hit, or when he gives up and starts wildly shooting in every direction.

Safety First: Maybe use extra padding for this one. We want the buck in one piece for the wedding, not explaining paintball injuries to his future in-laws.
