Gold Rush
Specs of gold have been found in a nearby town, leading to a rush of digging. The tension is rising with the increasing population at the goldfield and violence has spread in an attempt to drive the unwanted diggers out. You, the local constable, need to act quickly to stop the uprising of the mob. Can you and the local police prevent the riots?

Cross fit, of F45, kick boxing, they all lead to #gains.
How do they compare to a game of action and strategy?
Our friends over at health fitness revolution know all about getting healthy, and they’ve realised a great way to get fit and have fun: Paintball.
Here’s what they have to say about the health benefits of paintball.
It’s an intense game, considering the fact that you’re armed with a mask, ammunition and a paintball marker, but paintball is actually a fun, interactive way to build teamwork and get some exercise. Of course, the paintball gun is loaded with gelatine shells filled with a type of paint that marks a person or object when hit, so it’s an experience that will leave you covered in colour!
Samir Becic, 4 times Number 1 Fitness Trainer in the world and HFR’s Top 10 Health Benefits of Paintball:
- Adds variety to regular routine:
Paintball is a great activity for those who do not have time to hit the gym or want to do something active with friends. It’s also a great way to shake things up and get an intense exercise routine outside of your normal workout. If you’re looking for an alternative activity to escape the monotonous motions of a treadmill, paintball allows players to experience a full range of movements like running, climbing, ducking and tip-toeing behind enemies.
- Full body workout:
Paintball involves crawling, diving, sprinting, dodging and shooting. Because the game is so fast paced and strategic, many players get so caught up in the action they don’t even realize how the body is benefiting. People who have difficulty sticking to a workout routine often claim motivation and boredom as the primary reasons. Paintball offers participants a more enjoyable way to tone up their body without ever having to even think about it as exercise.
- Increases endurance:
When you play paintball you experience an incredible cardiovascular workout that boosts your endurance levels because of the extended amount of time spent on the field.
- Increases strength:
Paintball will require you to be fast while lugging around a paintball gun and with all the safety gear. The main areas strengthened during paintball are the legs from running and squatting, the arms from shooting, and the core for stabilization of the body with all the equipment.
- Increases interpersonal skills and self-confidence:
Paintball is primarily a team sport, which requires some amount of strategy and execution that can be done only when all the players work together as a team. It promotes team spirit and can also improve your leadership skills. Tense situations in the game often bring out the best in many players and boost their self confidence.
- Good for weight loss and overall health:
Needless to say, paintball also aids in weight loss. The intense exercise gained from a session of paintball can improve sleep cycles and boost metabolism. Intense workouts also result in the release of endorphins that elevate your mood. Apart from burning more calories, regular exercise through paintball also reduces risk of heart diseases, blood pressure and depression.
- Major stress relief:
Playing a rough game of paintball is one of the best ways to vent out your frustration without risking hurting others. Sometimes, venting your anger in the game can also help you improve your skills as a paintballer. The endorphins released during intense exercise also eliminate mental stress and bring a sense of calm.
- Promotes teamwork:
Good teamwork is essential in paintball – your team must work together to make strategies and plans, and then be able to coordinate them. If you’re lacking a bit of teamwork in your office, why not arrange a day out with your colleagues and put yourselves to the test?
- It’s healthy to be outdoors:
Working out outdoors actually boosts your mood, outlook, focus and immunity. According to a study from the University of Michigan, group nature walks are linked to enhanced mental health and positivity, as well as significantly lower levels of depression and feelings of stress. A study from Glasgow University showed that people who walked, biked, or ran in nature had a lower risk of poor mental health than people who worked out indoors.
- It’s fun!
Finally, who can say that having a bit of fun isn’t one of the major health benefits of paintball? The rush of adrenaline sparked by just running around and shooting opponents with paintballs brings back the inner child in us. Full of laughter and excitement, paintball makes a truly brilliant day out with friends.
There you have it! Paintball is an awesome way to get fit, and have fun doing it. Who knows, if you have a friend you want to help on their fitness journey, maybe paintball is the place to start?
Delta Force Paintball has reopened!
After several months of isolation, compulsive hand hygiene, too much Uber Eats, new download records on Netflix and trying to get our paintball fix vicariously through the latest Call of Duty iteration we are excited to announce that many of our centres have officially reopened.
We welcomed our first paintball enthusiasts back to the centre after another lockdown. We were ‘tools down’ for a few months, and after this extended paintball-free period it felt fantastic to send some paintballs flying once more.
We consciously opted for a soft relaunch with extremely limited player numbers. It allowed us to rigorously run through all of our COVID-Safe systems and procedures that we have implemented to adapt to our new post-COVID reality in Adelaide.
Some of these key changes include:
• All Delta Force staff have successfully undergone an AHA Hospitality & Tourism COVID-19 Hygiene Course before returning to work.
• Hand sanitiser is available and located at all key touch points throughout the centre. Upon arrival at the centre all staff and guests are required to sanitise their hands.
• Our equipment is cleaned in accordance with Government-lead directives. We have worked closely with our laundry provider and our chemicals/cleaning products supplier to ensure our cleaning procedures are robust and compliant.
• We have introduced allocated table seating for all groups and have socially distanced seating areas for all groups.
• We have adjusted our operational procedures to offer contactless payment, contactless collection of equipment and contactless paintball games. Sadly this means no celebratory high-fives but it is one of the necessary sacrifices.
• All guns, door handles and shared facilities such as shop counters are disinfected between every single game.
• We have reduced the number of people on site by operating with shorter, higher intensity days rather than exclusively day events. This means you get the same amount of paintball action but in less overall time, and it also means that social
distancing is significantly easier to achieve.
All of these changes (and more!) are in place to ensure we deliver the same world class paintball experience but with heightened safety and hygiene precautions. Our collective world has been turned upside down and we’re committed to building a better, safer paintball experience moving forward.
For those guests who had existing bookings postponed due to COVID-19 closures, we thank you for your patience during these trying times. We are now open for business and ready to host your next special event. Our phone lines are open with reduced operating hours and capacity – so please call us on 1300 769 223 or make a booking online.
We will be opening more of our sites as we move forward.
With Covid-19 constantly changing our everyday lives we are trying our best to keep all of our customers updated on the latest news.
+ Our Sydney and Newcastle sites are currently open for all double vaccinated adults and all players under 16 years of age. We hope to open for all players sometime in December.
+ Our Canberra Centre has reopened for bookings. Get yourselves booked in now!
