Frequently asked questions

Alcohol consumption during the event is not prohibited for adult players, however we recommend that you leave drinks for the post-event games. Having a couple of beers between games is not a problem and stag and hen parties are one of our big clientele, especially in the summer.

Sissos has no licensed premises, no alcoholic beverages are on sale. Bringing and drinking your own alcoholic beverages is allowed. At Juvanmalm we provide a refrigerator for their storage. Please be aware of our younger patrons, who may be present at our playing fields several times during the day.

Our Game Directors have the right to refuse a player the right to play if they are unable to follow the instructions given.

Yes. You are allowed to enjoy your own snacks at our venues. You can also hire a barbecue from us for your event.

Non-alcoholic soft drinks are available for sale, in case you get thirsty in the middle of the game.

The paintball centre has a meeting room, which can be rented, for example, for post-game meals, and many people order pizzas for after-games. 

We do not currently have any sauna facilities to offer. At Juvanmalmi you can refresh yourself after the games in the shower facilities, which are free of charge for our customers. The facilities are equipped with hairdryers. Bring your own towel or rent a towel for €2 per person. There are no washing facilities at the Sissos Arena forest field. For example, you can rent a sauna here: http://saunat.co/

For indoor games, wear clean sneakers or indoor shoes and loose sportswear with long sleeves and sleeves (e.g. hoodie and sweatpants). No traces of indoor ammunition will remain on clothing. For outdoor games, we offer camouflage overalls, under which we recommend layering in cooler weather. You can also get a coverall for indoor games if you need one, but the most comfortable outfit for indoor games is your own clothing.

You should also bring sturdy footwear suitable for walking in the forest to the Konala forest field. 

 Please note that you may sweat while playing, so it is a good idea to bring a change of clothes.

Yes and no.

In the open games you can play with your own equipment in the Sissos Arena and on the competition field.

In guided games, you play with the weapons of the house, so that the equipment is evenly distributed between the players.

You are allowed to use your own protective mask (if your mask is intended for paintball use and is safe to use).

The paintball centre in Juvanmalmi has a meeting room, or neukkari, which can be rented (e.g. a party room for a birthday party, a meeting room for a company or sports club before or after games). The Neukkar is equipped with a microwave, fridge, freezer, kettle and coffee maker if necessary. Ask our customer service for more information.

The meeting room is not soundproofed, so other game events and other activities at the Paintball Centre may carry noise into the meeting room. If your reservation for the meeting room is after the games, you will have access to the room no later than the start of your reservation. If there are no other reservations for the room during your games, you can get there in advance to prepare your own refreshments or to decorate your seats.

Sissos Arena in Konala has no meeting space.

Payment methods include: cash, debit card and major credit cards (Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard). We also accept sports benefits in the form of an app and sports vouchers (Epassi, Smartum, Tyky and Edenred/Virike).

Any invoicing of the company or association should always be agreed before the event.

For bookings made via the booking calendar, part of the payment will be charged in advance as a booking fee, and for bookings made by phone or email, we can send you the booking fee as an email attachment. The booking fee will be credited to the final amount of the event.

We recommend contact lenses if possible, as glasses may fog up inside the mask. Also, some spectacle frames are so wide that they do not fit under the mask.

We have a few wider masks that fit better on the head with glasses. Ask our instructor for advice if your glasses do not fit under the mask.

Yes! In winter, the most comfortable place to play is on the Paintball Centre's heated indoor field.

We can organise winter games at the Juvanmalmi harbour outdoor field, weather permitting. With temperatures of around 5-10 degrees below zero, you can usually still play well and thanks to the warm break rooms, you don't have to stay in the freezing temperatures for a whole two hours.

The recommended age limit for .50 cal air markers used at Juvanmalm is 12 years, while the Konala forest field is played with more powerful equipment, which has an age limit of 14 years. The best way for youngsters to try paintball is to attend a paintball school on Tuesdays.

We also offer lighter markers for gaming events where you want to minimise painful hits without compromising the fun of the game. The Gelblaster is ideal for adults for this purpose. Birthday packages for youngsters are available from 5+ years of age upwards.

School sports groups and children's birthday parties are very popular events, for which we warmly recommend the Juvanalmi playing fields with a smaller ball. Children under 15 must be accompanied by a guardian (1 adult per group is sufficient). For school groups, a class teacher/guardian is sufficient.

Cancellation conditions in brief:

• up to 14 days before the event 0€
• later than 14 days, but no later than 48 hours before the event by paying the booking fee or 50% of the event price (whichever is higher)
• later than 48 hours before the reservation the full price of the event

Generally speaking, yes.

The paint on the balls is water-soluble and comes off the clothes with normal washing. Light-coloured clothes may leave grease-like stains and dark-coloured clothes may leave light-coloured stains. We recommend washing stained clothes as soon as possible after the event, when the paint is still "wet" and will come off more easily in the wash.

If your group size is more than 40 people, we can arrange extended playing time on top of the price. Contact our customer service and we will tailor a package to suit your needs. We have a number of playing fields of different sizes, where we have organised successful events for small and large groups alike.

You should arrive at the venue about 5-10 minutes before the event starts, so that the event can start at the agreed time. You will be met by the instructor at the start of your booking, where you will be able to go through the checkout to change your equipment. There are often back-to-back events on our playing field, so we may not be able to extend the duration of your event due to a late start.

Get to know the sport in open games where you can play with others. Games are organised for adults and young people every week during the summer season.
