Paintball began in the early 1970s, when it was used as a tool for marking trees and livestock. Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel and Bob Gurnsey were the first people to think up a new way to use the guns. In 1981, twelve friends played the first recreational paintball game using these industrial paintball guns from the Nelson Paint Company on a field measuring over 100 acres (with no masks or safety equipment!). Long stretches of quiet, with people busy stalking each other and worried about whether they were being stalked, were the norm.

Over the years, recreational paintball has become more sophisticated. Because more people are playing at one time, using teams became the standards. Different game variations were formed. The most popular paintball game is the one called “capture the flag”, but offensive/defensive scenarios also are popular.

Rio Adventures takes you to a 1200 squared meters field, just 20 to 30 minutes from the south area. The field is a scenario paintball, which offers a very dinamic and fast game. In this case, the scenario has an urban appeal, with shacks , barrels and walls everywhere, looking a bit like a slum environment
