With a few day's before the Groupon expired Dan and I travelled to East Walpole to Xtreme Action Sports.  Our Groupon's were for paint ball but we were offered the option of playing air-soft or a combination of both instead.  We selected to play air-soft. Our Groupon provided for a Basic Rental Package and three hours of  play in their 13,000 sqft facility for each of us. The deal included a gun, unlimited air, a mask, neck guard, vest, and 400 rounds of ammunition. The playing field included rooms and hallways. Some are staged as office and warehouse space and others left empty.

We arrived at 11:30 as suggested when I called for reservations and wore long sleeve shirts and pants. After a quick 15 minute safety and training lesson we joined a group who had already been playing. They alternate the air-soft and paintball in the play field to give the players an opportunity to rest and to provide both options the ability to play in all 13,000 sqft. There was equal number of players for each game type when we arrived.

During each  of the matches there were two referee's administering play and they were friendly and fair.  They relied on the players to be honest when shot and they provided safe passage out of the game.They also offered options for play such as capture the flag, free for all and team play.

The number of players' was unfortunately low and at one point it was just Dan and I. The first group had been playing since 10:00 and was finished playing by 12:30.  The next group didn't arrive until 1:00. Dan and I made the best of it and played one on one. When the second group arrive the level of play improved.

The facility was clean and neat and the employees were professional and polite. They were very safety conscious and constantly reminded everyone of the safety policies and procedures. Play was fair and the players evenly split up. This is a facility and a game type that is only best with a large group. Dan and I both enjoyed our experience and would recommend this facility to others.
