• Variety of playing zones
• Parties for adults and children

Good paint guns shoot straight and reload quickly, but take ages to build up in the gym. Take aim with today's Groupon: £12 for a paintball experience for up to ten people, including lunch and 100 paintballs each at Bricket Wood Paintball Centre. Decorating the woody wilderness of St Albans, Bricket Wood Paintball Centre enables rookies, pros, and art enthusiasts to get playful with their palettes. The haven of mud and rainbow projectiles sits a quick scramble by train from Watford Junction station, and varied zones present tactical challenges and encourage acrylic brutality in rival platoons. Mud-splattered parties cater to kids and grown-ups alike, and with upgrades of armoured gloves and smoke grenades on the cards, teams can perfect their militant artistic manoeuvres. An adventurous jaunt in the woods will see splat-tagging troops take free run of the range for seven hours, playing 6 to 12 individual games. Scrabblers are provided with a personal safety marshal, a paintball gun for the day and 100 paintballs, with accessories of V force protective goggles, a battle suit and unlimited gas refills. A light lunch of a hot dog or veggie burger and chips is coupled with unlimited tea and coffee all day, and extra ammo is available at £7 for 100 paintballs.
