If the Hundred Years’ War had been fought with paintballs instead of rifles, it might still be happening, but it’d be so colorful that no one would mind.

For more than 25 years, the outdoors enthusiasts at Whitewater Rafting Adventures have guided groups on sporting treks, such as rafting, biking, and kayaking, through the picturesque wilderness of the western Poconos. A day of unlimited [paintball](http://www.adventurerafting.com/paintball/) scatters players out over one of 18 on-site outdoor fields, dappled with all manner of natural beauty, including streams, thickets, hollows, hills, and trees. Scenario fields recall the battlefields of the Revolutionary War, as chromatic combatants squat inside forts, scurry along trenches, take refuge behind sandbag bumpers, or deliver impassioned Gettysburg Addresses from atop buildings. The armory outfits players with goggles, a compressed-air paintball gun—designed to fire multicolored missiles more accurately than CO2 guns—and 100 paintballs (guests may need to purchase more paintballs for a complete day). Seasoned paintballers can gain the element of surprise over human and foliage alike with rented camouflage overalls ($6), soften blows with leased chest protectors ($6), or safeguard hands with the purchase of gloves ($3) from the souvenir-packed gift shop (not included in this Groupon). Showers and changing rooms derainbow gamers before a relaxed barbecue brings diners together to recount the day's victories or re-create battles with hot dogs, chips, and pop.
