Parents are always looking for fun, active, and safe activities for kids’ birthdays and weekend adventures. At Boston Paintball, we’ve introduced GellyBall — a new way for younger players to get the thrill of paintball without the sting.

What is GellyBall?

GellyBall is a low-impact shooting game that uses soft, water-filled gel balls instead of paintballs. They feel like little snaps and burst on contact with a splash of water — no paint, no mess.

Who Can Play GellyBall?

Safe for kids as young as 8 years old.

Great for groups that want to include players as young as 8 in their adventure!

Perfect for birthday parties, school groups, scout troops, and family events.

Why Parents Love GellyBall

Safe & Gentle: Much softer than paintballs → almost no sting.

Mess-Free: The gel beads are water-based and disappear after impact.

Beginner-Friendly: Easy to use, lightweight markers designed for kids.

Supervised Play: Just like paintball, Boston Paintball referees oversee every game.

GellyBall vs. Paintball

Age: GellyBall (8+), Low-Impact Paintball (10+), Standard Paintball (13+).

Impact: GellyBall = softest → best for beginners.

Experience: Same fun scenarios, teamwork, and excitement — just scaled for younger kids.
