BUYING

Go Ballistic’s gift vouchers are redeemable at hundreds of awesome paintball locations across the UK and Ireland, so you know you’re never too far from the heart pounding fun. With thousands of satisfied customers, we thought we’d let them tell you about their experiences. We talked to Tom Griffiths, 26, who bought his best man one of our gift vouchers as a thank you for arranging his stag party.

“I had my stag party a couple of months back and I’ve been looking for the perfect way to thank my best man ever since. Before we went out to the city for the evening, he arranged for us to all go paintballing. None of us had ever been before- apart from him. As soon as we got to the playing field he had transformed into Rambo and wasn’t taking any prisoners. I would give anything to go back and challenge him to a rematch- so I knew that the best present to get him was a paid-for trip to a paintball site.

“As I now know that he is a paintball maniac, treating him to another game was the perfect way to thank him for arranging an unforgettable stag weekend. It also gave me the perfect opportunity to go back and hopefully beat him- he gets really cocky on the battlefield and I would do anything to wipe that grin off his face.

“I headed straight to Go Ballistic’s website to book a rematch. Being happily married isn’t going to stop me wanting to take him down! As soon as I got on the homepage, I saw a banner advertising gift vouchers- instead of booking a rematch, I decided to look into one of these instead. It was valid at every paintball site near us, so there was no excuse for me not to buy one.

“I work full time, so can’t spend as much time as I want to looking for a thank you present. Luckily, the Go Ballistic website was incredibly easy to navigate and there were only a few simple steps to complete. Within five minutes, I had bought him an £80 gift voucher, with a gift box to put it in. Only a few days later, the present arrived, wrapped and ready to give to him, complete with a guide to all of the activities I want to beat him at. When he received it, he wasn’t disappointed- and he immediately began arranging plans to return for round two!”

“I had managed to buy him the perfect thank you present in a few minutes and helped create an experience as unforgettable for him as the stag party was for me. Not that I want to sound emotional- after all, my real motive was to find an excuse to destroy him on the battlefield by any means necessary! Thank you to Go Ballistic for being responsible for many unforgettable days out”.

RECEIVING

You’ve heard how simple it is to buy the ultimate gift. But what is it like when you receive one? We managed to get in touch with Edward Stephenson, 27, who was the lucky recipient of the gift voucher as repayment for his best man duties.

“I wasn’t expecting to get a thank you present from my mate- after all, he doesn’t owe me anything, it is a best man duty to make sure he has the perfect stag. Being able to play paintball and then go out for the evening with him and our mates before he gets married is the best present I could ask for. Even if I was the unlucky guy who had to bankroll it all.

“So, I was really surprised to find that he’d come round to my flat to give me a present to say thank you. I was over the moon to find out he’d got me a Go Ballistic gift voucher. On the last paintball match, I triumphantly beat him and everybody else- now they wanted a rematch? This was a suicide mission for them, but I was more than happy to take part and incredibly grateful that he chose the voucher as a thank you present. His wife probably nagged him to do it, but I’m so happy she did.

“The gift voucher came in a gift box with an “adrenalin guide”- a book that gave us a guide of all the other activities available in the UK. They probably should have named it “Things I’ll be great at” and I can’t wait to live up to that title. Before I started booking any more activities, we called up Go Ballistic to see if we could book a session at a paintball site near us.

“Within minutes, we managed to book a game at the Brighouse centre for the weekend- all I needed to do was mention my voucher code down the phone! I was happy to find out there was plenty of money on the voucher to buy extra paintballs too, so I took advantage of that. Finally, we were given maps and directions to the location. From there, I was just counting down the days until I was ruling supreme on the battlefield again.

“The day didn’t disappoint- I’m still feeling breathless just thinking about taking part in all that action. I can’t thank my mate enough for treating me to this awesome gift- but he’ll think twice next time about challenging a paintball warrior like me to a rematch he knows I’m going to win!”
