First Game – Capture the Magical Jerry Can

The first game was like stepping into an action movie set. Like a scene straight out of Stargate, with two teams battling to capture the magical jerry can from the central pyramid. The objective was simple yet challenging: seize control of the jerry can and transport it to the opponent’s spawning location without getting shot. Easier said than done! Both attempts at this game ended in a stalemate, but not without some intense and hilarious moments.

The girls seemed to dominate possession of the jerry can during the matches, showcasing their strategic prowess. I felt like a wartime reporter, sneaking around to capture the action without becoming a target myself. The challenge was real, and despite my high-vis gear, I couldn’t avoid getting hit a few times. But those action-packed shots of paintballs flying, determined faces, and triumphant cheers made it all worth it. The energy was contagious, and the competitive spirit was infectious.

Second Game – Barrel Run

The second game kicked off with a thrilling twist. The bride, groom, best man and maid of honour had to run a gauntlet while their friends unleashed a barrage of paintballs at them. It was a sight to behold, filled with laughter and a few dramatic dodges. The groom, in his valiant attempt, managed to hurt himself slightly, but his spirit remained unbroken. This initial fun set the stage for the main event: a classic push-and-pull game with barrels scattered throughout the field.

The objective was straightforward: push the opposing team off the map. The barrels provided cover and obstacles, turning the game into a strategic battle of wits and agility. The intensity was palpable as both teams maneuvered, trying to outsmart and overpower each other. Tthe action was non-stop, and the opportunities for dynamic, engaging shots were endless. The moments of triumph, frustration, and sheer determination were beautifully captured, making this game a highlight of the day.

Third Game – Protect the President

The final game was my favourite. The playing field was an elaborate setup with wooden tanks and a real helicopter, creating an immersive and exciting environment. The storyline added an extra layer of excitement: a helicopter had crashed, and the tanks were attacking, with the goal being to plant a slab of TNT within the helicopter. Both teams were determined, and the stakes were high with the girls needing to win both games in order to catch up with the boys on points.

Watching the boys and girls strategize, execute their plans, and fight for victory was exhilarating. Each team had a turn at being the attackers and defenders, showcasing their teamwork and tactical skills. The expressions of concentration, the triumphant yells, and the victorious smiles were priceless. Capturing these moments, where the players were wholly engrossed in the game, provided some of the best shots of the day. It was the perfect culmination of an action-packed, joy-filled event.
