Battles rages across 15 themed battlefields at CPX Sports, each strewn with the husks of old cars or mock abandoned towns. After arriving at CPX and signing a waiver, paintballers trek through the ruined cityscapes and dense trees of CPX's varied battlefields to scope out tactically advantageous places to play dead. Once they've geared up with a paintball gun and 250 paintballs, prismatic sharpshooters traverse paintball fields that include The Jungle of Doom, Armageddon, and the Town of Bedlam. The open-play pass is valid for the whole day, and combatants can refill CO2 and high-pressure tanks as many times as they desire.

CPX Sports

A hailstorm of paint projectiles rains down upon CPX Sports' more than one dozen fields, each of which poses different challenges and requires specialized tactics. The crown jewel of the park is the Town of Bedlam, a massive maze of small-town 1950s buildings that jut out between streets dotted by paint-splattered cars and streetlights. There, snipers poke their heads out of the central city hall's tower as the opposing team hides out or checks for abandoned shampoo samples inside the post office. The Jungle of Doom drops teams into a heavily wooded field to vie for control of a central temple, and chromatic combatants weave between desiccated cars in the Wastelands, attempting to collect the most gas cans. A full pro shop outfits players with markers, protective gear, and Sesame Street coloring books for target practice.

The Groupon Guide to: Inspiration

Inspiration is everywhere, if you know where to look. What are some sure-fire ways to shatter writer's block and unleash the creative torrents within?

• Observe natural phenomena, such as a rainbow or a sheep slipping in some mud.
• Write down everything that happens in your favorite movie, but make it about … yourself?
• Watch the free-flowing imaginations of two children crafting a complex pretend universe—this can inspire you to comment on what a waste of time it was.
• Put on some jazz records and listen to the notes they're not playing. These inaudible notes aren't copyrighted, and they can be yours!
• Drink a whole thing of coffee. Even if this makes things immeasurably worse, at least you technically finished something today.
