A paintball game can last from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the type of game, the number of players, and the rules of the game. The average paintball game lasts about 15 minutes. Some paintball games, like speedball and capture the flag, are very fast and can end in less than 10 minutes. Some paintball games, like woodsball and rec ball, are more tactical and can last up to 30 minutes or more. Scenario paintball games are the longest and most immersive, and can last from 16 to 36 hours, with breaks for sleeping at night.

What to Expect from a Day of Paintball?
Paintball is a fun and exciting sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. But how long does a day of paintball last? Well, that depends on several factors, such as the type of game, the number of players, and your own preference.
Generally speaking, a day of paintball starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. But you don't have to worry if you arrive early or late, because most players don't show up or leave exactly on time. The best time to play paintball is usually between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM, when there are more players and more action.
However, not all players are the same. Some players are more serious and competitive, and they will play from the start to the finish. These are usually the tournament or woodsball/rec ball players who have their own gear and teams. Other players are more casual and relaxed, and they will play for a few hours and then call it a day. These are usually the beginners or first-timers who rent their equipment and join random groups.
If you want to play paintball for as long as you want, you should bring your own group of friends or join a local paintball team. That way, you can be sure that there will always be someone to play with, no matter what time you go.
What is a Scenario Paintball Game?
Scenario paintball games are special events that simulate real-life situations or historical events. They are designed for woodball, rec ball, and magfed paintball players who want to immerse themselves in a realistic and challenging environment.
Scenario paintball games can vary in length, but they usually last for 24 hours or longer. Some scenario games can be shorter or longer, depending on the theme and the rules of the game. The most common schedule for a scenario game is from 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM (one day), from 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM (Saturday and Sunday), from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Friday), from 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM (Saturday), and from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Sunday).
However, every paintball field has its own rules and hours for its scenario games, so you should always check the details before you sign up for one.
Paintball Games
Paintball can be played in different ways, depending on what kind of game you want to play. Here are some of the most common paintball games and how they work.
Team Elimination
Team Elimination is the simplest and most popular paintball game. The only goal of this game is to shoot all the players on the other team. The team that has any players left standing wins.
Capture the Flag
Capture the Flag is a game where each team has a flag at their base. There are two ways to play this game. One way is to have one flag in the center of the field, and both teams try to grab it and bring it back to their base. The other way is to have two flags, one at each base, and both teams try to steal the enemy's flag and bring it back to their base along with their own flag.
Attack and Defend
Attack and Defend is a game where one team defends their base and the other team attacks it. The team that eliminates all the players on the other team wins.
Zombies
Zombies is a game where one player (usually a skilled one) is the zombie and the rest are the survivors. The zombie tries to hunt down and shoot the survivors, who try to hide and avoid him. When a survivor is shot by the zombie, he becomes a zombie too and joins him in hunting the others. When a zombie is shot by a survivor, he goes back to the base and respawns as a zombie again.
Plant the Bomb
Plant the Bomb is a game where each team has a bomb (or an object that represents a bomb) that they need to plant at the enemy's base. There are three ways to play this game. One way is to have one team with the bomb try to plant it at the enemy's base, while the other team tries to stop them. Another way is to have both teams with a bomb try to plant it at the enemy's base, while also defending their own base from the enemy's bomb. The third way is to have one bomb in the middle of the field, and both teams try to get it and plant it at the enemy's base.
This is my favorite paintball game because I love using my ghillie suit and EMF100 with First Strikes (a kind of paintball that has better accuracy and range) to protect my base from the enemy's bomb.
