Bill's Xtreme Paintball & Laser Tag

Bill's Xtreme Paintball & Laser Tag has spent over 16 years running organized paintball, laser tag, and battle bow events for groups throughout the Springfield area and beyond. They operate an indoor/outdoor course in Marionville/Springfield and have expanded to mobile laser tag services in Columbia, MO and Northwest Arkansas.

• •Paintball - Traditional paintball on their established course with multiple game modes. Protective equipment provided including helmets and padding. Groups report the course is sized well enough to spread out while fitting multiple matches into a 2-hour session.

• •Laser Tag - Described as tactical laser tag—live-action, cardio-intensive gameplay with a short learning curve. Not just the laser tag you remember from childhood arcades. Available at their Springfield location or deployed as mobile equipment to your venue.

• •Battle Bows (Archery Tag) - Padded-arrow bow combat based on dodgeball rules. Players get hit or catch incoming arrows. The game originated in the US with creator John Jackson and has spread internationally. Multiple game variations available.

• •Mobile Services - They'll set up at churches, community centers, office buildings, gyms, open fields, or anywhere you need them. Equipment and bunkers included.

They don't run the same game twice. Options include:

• •Capture the Flag - Classic team objective
• •Team Deathmatch - Lives-based elimination
• •Player vs Player - Free-for-all brawl
• •Predator vs Prey - Asymmetrical team setup
• •VIP - Protect/eliminate the unarmed Very Important Person
• •Assassins - Hidden target elimination
• •Tactical variants - Reduced cover for higher movement requirements

All protective gear is provided: helmets, padding, eyewear, and neck protection. They emphasize layered clothing (long sleeves, hoodies, long pants, socks, shoes). They note that paintballs do leave minor marks but not bruises you'd notice the next day with proper protection. A "surrender rule" is typically used so close-range shots can be negotiated rather than taken.

• •Birthday parties (kids through adults)
• •Youth groups and scout troops
• •Bachelor/bachelorette parties
• •Corporate team-building
• •After-prom events
• •Project graduation activities
• •Church groups
• •Couples and friend groups
• •Families

"Took 12 boys there this weekend and had a great time. Big enough course that you can still spread out but small enough to get multiple matches in within 2 hours." - Steven J.

They handle online and printable release forms and have separate policy documents for paintball/battle bows and laser tag activities.
