Admission & Early Access

The barrier to the BIGGAME Mahlwinkel event grounds will open for regular arrivals on Wednesday at 12:00 pm.

Please follow the instructions of the event crew and drive down the long road behind the barrier to the registration area.

There you will find our hardworking helpers who will assign you a parking space and escort you to the registration building.

You will need your event ticket at registration. Using the QR code, you will receive your faction/team wristband, your paint vouchers, and everything else you pre-ordered directly at registration.

 

EARLY ACCESS Option

Those who want to enter the grounds even earlier have the option of adding an Early Access Pass for a small additional fee. You can choose this option either when ordering your ticket, or you can add it later in the shop.

Holders of the Early Access Pass can enter the grounds from 9:00 AM, giving them a chance to explore the site and secure the best camping spots. This also gives you more time to set up your camp.

Game, Rules &
Missions

The topic of the game, rules, and missions is somewhat more extensive, so we have summarized it for you on a separate information page.

Basically, there are fixed rules for the entire event, the daily games and missions, which define the framework of the game.

For the safety of everyone involved, these rules must be followed throughout the entire event!

Here you'll find the game rules & missions.

Marketplace

The marketplace is the central hub at the Paintball BigGame Mahlwinkel. Our main stage, featuring the daily evening program, is located here. The organizers, registration, and air station are also situated directly on the marketplace.

All around you will find our large trade show with lots of dealers and brands presenting a wide range of paintball equipment.

Several catering stands will provide delicious food and a wide selection. In the middle of the market square, you can gather at our beer garden with a cool drink and relax after the game.

Theme party

There's a themed party on Thursday evening at the Paintball BigGame in Mahlwinkel!

Since our event always takes place over the long Father's Day weekend, we want to celebrate Father's Day properly with you on Thursday evening. To keep things interesting, we have a different party theme every year. Stay tuned…

Participation is expressly encouraged! – We would be delighted if many of you participated and the party theme was reflected in your outfit.

FAQ.
Questions & Answers

We regularly receive questions from the community about the event. We've compiled some of the most frequently asked questions here and would like to answer them directly.

If your question isn't listed, please use the contact form and get in touch. We're always happy to help.

Am I allowed to bring my own paintballs to the event, or do I have to buy them on site?

Field Paint Only (FPO) is in effect for the entire event. This means paintballs must be purchased from the organizer. Using your own paintballs will result in exclusion from the event and, in the worst case, could lead to being asked to leave. To avoid such a situation altogether, please leave your own paintballs at home.

What requirements must my paintball marker meet if I want to play?

Your paintball marker must comply with the legal regulations applicable in Germany. These include, for example, semi-automatic firing, a maximum energy of 7.5 joules, etc.

Are pyrotechnics allowed in Paintball Big Game Mahlwinkel?

Generally, yes, but only smoke bombs, and only as long as there is no increased risk of forest fires. In such cases, the use of pyrotechnics is prohibited and no longer permitted. Flash/bang pyrotechnics are strictly forbidden, as hearing protection is not worn at our events. Furthermore, only approved and tested pyrotechnics from our event partner, EnolaGaye, may be used. Safety when handling pyrotechnics is our top priority.

What do I need to pay attention to with my compressed air cylinder?

Your compressed air cylinder on your marker (also called an HP system) must have a valid, current certification. When purchasing a cylinder, make sure you choose one approved for Germany or Europe with the PI-TÜV marking. Avoid cylinders with incorrect certification, no certification at all, or expired certification! These pose an increased safety risk to you and other players. Our staff and marshals are instructed to conduct regular spot checks and remove defective cylinders from play.

Which paintball masks are permitted at the event?

Generally, all officially approved mask models from well-known and established manufacturers on the market are permitted. As long as you wear an official paintball mask, you are allowed to play. If you have a modified/converted mask (e.g., a JT Spectra with a mesh mouthpiece), please present it to the marshals before your first game. They will grant you individual approval, provided your mask offers sufficient protection (eyes, mouth, cheeks, and ears).

From what age can I participate in the BigGame Mahlwinkel?

Participation in the BIGGAME Mahlwinkel is only permitted from the age of 18.

How many vehicles are allowed on my plot?

You may park as many vehicles as will fit on your booked plot. The vehicles must be completely within the marked area and must not overhang. Emergency exits must be kept clear at all times.

Is barbecuing allowed?

Only commercially available gas grills may be used! Open fires with charcoal are strictly prohibited.

May I bring my own drinks?

Yes, but glass bottles are not allowed on the event grounds. If necessary, the contents must be transferred to another container. A glass bottle ban is in effect throughout the entire area due to a significantly increased risk of forest fires. A single carelessly discarded glass bottle can ignite a forest fire weeks or even months later in the undergrowth.

Am I allowed to bring my shisha/hookah onto the premises?

Yes, but only electronic devices are allowed (no coal!).

Can I access the premises even after the regular arrival times?

The barrier to the premises is manned 24/7, so you can always get onto or off the premises in case of emergencies.

Is there internet/Wi-Fi available at the event?

Unfortunately not! The event site is quite secluded, located in a wooded area on a former military base. It's peaceful there, but unfortunately, the cell phone reception is poor. Please take that into account.
