westworldpaintball.com - Private FAQs

These are some of the most common questions that we get asked about private events at Westworld Paintball. If you have a question that you don't see an answer to please feel free to contact us.

1. How do I make a reservation?
The easiest way to make a reservation is to fill out our online reservation form . You can also print the printable reservation form and fax it to 602-269-2743 or mail it (with payment) to 4240 W Camelback Rd C-3 Phoenix AZ 85019. Reservations can also be made in person at the Xtreme Pursuit location during Pro Shop hours or Open game hours. (Remember that reservation availability changes very quickly so give yourself plenty of time in advance.)

2. Is my date/time available?
Date availability changes minute to minute. The best way to know is to call 602-447-8200 and have us check a date for you. Remember though that if we tell you a date is available, that information may change within minutes. The best thing you can do is to place at least a tentative hold on a date while you gather funding to pay for your event and get confirmation from the people you are having attend the event. This way your date will not get taken without your knowledge. You will want to make your reservation as soon as possible after speaking to a staff member and placing a hold on your date to ensure that you get the date and time you want.

3. What if I only have 15 players?
Private groups can have 2 or more players. There is no minimum number of players that you can have and still have a private event. There is a minimum price for a private event. This price includes either 20 or 30 players depending on the location, but this does not mean you have to have that many players.

4. Which location is better?
Location choice is generally a personal decision. Most people decide based on hours of play, location of the field, and availability. We have many groups that play at both fields and some that only play at one or the other. We suggest that you try both fields and decide which one fits you and your style of play best.

5. How much paint will I need for my group?
All players play the game differently so each person uses a different amount of paint. Most players will made do with however much (or little) they have. We have found that the average player uses 500-700 paintballs in an afternoon of play (some will use more, some will use less). With a group, the best thing to do is purchase paint by the case for the group to share since the cost per case is the least expensive way to get additional paintballs.

6. I have a player that is under 10, can they play with our group since we have a reservation?
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no. We only allow players 10 or older on our fields, no matter the situation.

7. What is the difference between a Group rate/Birthday party and a private event?
A group rate/birthday party is played during our open play hours and the group is mixed in with the public. A private event is a private field where no one but your group is on the field while you are playing. A group rate/birthday party also requires fewer players to make a reservation than a private event.

8. What should we wear?
Long pants are a must. We suggest a long sleeve t-shirt. Camouflage is not necessary unless you would like to. Hiking shoes are recommended for ankle support but tennis shoes will do. Be sure to dress for the weather, layers are good in case you get hot during play.

9. I am not very athletic, can I still play?
Paintball does not rely completely on athletic ability. It is "the great equalizer". Every person on the team, no matter what their ability can affect the team, even if they stay in one place and sniper the other team.

10. Can we bring our own paintballs?
No. Westworld Paintball is a field paint only field. That means that we do not allow outside paintballs in our arena. We provide a quality premium paint that is good for use with all types of paintball markers. This is to ensure we are complying with state environmental standards.

11. Can we bring our own equipment?
This is up to each group. Players are generally welcome to bring their own equipment. But some group leaders make the decision not to allow players to bring personal equipment. The best thing to do is check with the person organizing your event. All outside equipment must be chronographed before each game. (A Chronograph measures the speed of the paintballs the marker is shooting). All equipment must be set at or under the allowed speed for that field. Bringing your own equipment does not affect the price for a reservation. And anyone that brings their own equipment will need to purchase their own air. (This is available at the field).

12. Is there a place to have pizza/sandwiches and for anyone not playing to watch?
Both locations have picnic tables that you are welcome to use. At Xtreme Pursuit there are windows onto the field and cameras so tat non-players can watch the action. At Splatter Ranch there is no way for non-players to watch the action.

13. Do you provide food?
At Xtreme Pursuit there is a snack machine, an ice cream bar machine and 2 soda machines. There is a pizza place that delivers as well as a Chinese place and a sandwich place. We would be happy to provide you with their information.

At Splatter Ranch we have cans of soda, bottles of Gatorade and bottled water for sale in the trailer. There are no machines at Splatter Ranch. Down at Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale road there are a couple of food places and sometimes one of the pizza places close by will deliver.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, except alcohol, to Xtreme Pursuit or Splatter Ranch. We ask that you don't bring anything in glass containers. Also remember no alcohol before or during paintball.

We can provide catering and a soda bar for your group if you wish. Please call 602-447-8200 for more information on this option.
