Millionaire Paintball

Millionaire Paintball welcomes players to a field in the Cedar Valley area of Mission, BC, at 31515 Harris Road, where there is room for the kind of loud, running, laughing chaos that paintball demands. It serves a different appetite from the district's parks and viewpoints: the appetite for competition, teamwork and a little harmless adrenaline, preferably in that order and preferably on a Saturday. Paintball venues of this kind typically host group outings of every sort, birthday parties, workplace excursions, friends settling old rivalries, and the regulars who treat the sport as a league rather than a one-off excuse for a bruise.

Planning a visit is straightforward. Because no website is published, callers can reach Millionaire Paintball at 604-551-8806 to ask about open days, group bookings and what is provided, which typically includes markers, masks and paint for players who arrive unprepared, which is most of them. Dress for getting dirty and for running: old clothes, closed-toe shoes and layers you don't mind marking, because the paint has opinions about everything it touches. Mission's weather applies even on the field, so check the forecast and expect that rain changes the footing and the conversation. Among things to do in Mission, paintball is the loud, social outlier, and a proven cure for afternoons that were threatening to be ordinary.
