Airsoft game ideas small groups

This pilot rescue game is best played in an open field or clearing. This scenario works best for two small teams of four to five players and one pilot. Ideally, the terrain should have some small amount of cover. The pilot only has a pistol and a limited amount of ammo thirty-five to forty rounds total.

The pilot is injured and cannot leave from the crash site on his own. The objective is to find the injured pilot and carry him to the extraction zone with little team casualties.

If played with four small teams, it would be interesting to see if any alliances are made or broken amongst team members. This variation of a traditional game of hide and seek has players seeking out bombs as opposed to other players. The objective is simple. One small team is the Bomb Squad seeking out bombs hidden in the playing area see below for ideas on how to make props for this game.

One volunteer or referee can hide the bombs prior to the start of the game. The idea is that the fake bombs are well hidden. Depending on how challenging players would like the game to be, clues or hints about the potential bomb locations can be incorporated into the game. The game can be made more complex by adding a number of bombs in various locations. Each bomb has a timer which is set to 30 minutes. If any of the bombs reach zero before they all are found, the game is over and the Bomb Squad team loses.

This game can be tailored for large or small groups. The objective is that one team will have a bomb see below for ideas on how to make props for this game. The bomb has a timer which is set to 30 minutes for a faster-paced game, it can be set even lower.

The team must deliver the bomb before the end of the time count. If they cannot deliver the bomb before time expires, they lose. A fun element would be to allow the opposing team to intercept the bomb during gameplay or in the event, the bomb is intercepted, have it sent back to the teams base where they must retry to deliver the bomb within the remaining time frame.

This classic game is usually played between two opposing teams. For a larger scale battle, four teams can play against each other capturing as many of the opposing team flags as possible. Each team starts out with a prominently displayed flag at their base. The opposing team has to capture the flag and make their way back to their home base. During the game and when captured the flag must be visible.

In games with multiple teams playing, the captured flag on display can be recaptured by the original team or captured by another opposing team. Center Flag is a classic variation of Capture the Flag and is one game scenario played by many Airsofters. Two teams each battle it out with the objective of capturing one flag that is accessible by either team in a designated location on the battle area.

First team to bring the flag back to their base wins. This is a pretty simple variation of Capture the Flag. This is best played either in the small confines of a bunker or dugout. A small team of two or three barricade themselves in a small building, fox hole or similar post.

They guard their flag. The objective is for a small team of two to five players to try and capture the flag. Unlike Capture the Flag, the flag can be hidden within the confines and does not have to be visible. Successful capture of the flag ends the game. To make it more challenging, consider only the use of single fire Airsoft weapons and limited ammunition.

No Sniper weapons allowed. This is best played either in an open area such as a small field with little cover. A small team of two must defend the flag in the wide open confines of the gameplay area. The objective is for a small team of two to five players to successfully capture the flag. In this game, the flag should be out in the open as well.

This is one of the least complicated games around. Everyone fights everyone, no allies, no friends, no teams. The only objective is to be the last player standing. Great for small or large groups. Make it more challenging by limiting weapon capabilities such as only allowing small arms or weapons with small-cap magazines.

The last player standing wins. This is a very easy way to go if you just want to get into a game. This is a team versus team game where the winning team is the team that eliminates the other team entirely.

To make things even more challenging, small arms or single shot weapons can be used. This would be entirely up to both teams prior to battle. This is yet another variation of Capture the Flag. Each base will limit the number of players who can be barricaded within the base. The remaining team members must battle outside of the base.

Another variation that can change up the game would be to allow the game to end if the players inside the based are killed regardless of how many remain fighting outside of the base. This scenario can be played as a game or can be an added condition to almost any game type on the list. The objective behind Low Round is to limit players to a low amount of ammo for which they have to play the game.

In doing this, you force players to be more strategic and accurate in order to get through the game. As a game, it can be team play or every man for himself. This game scenario is best played amongst smaller to medium-sized teams.

Dividing each side unevenly making one side larger in number than the other. Small arms are recommended for this fast-paced scenario. Whichever team is eliminated first, loses. There are six different positions that need to be captured by changing a flag to the color of your team flags. The main idea is to detain all the six positions in a set amount of time, most people do 30 minutes to 1 hour.

If a player is shot, they must go back to a position that is under their team's control and must wait 5 minutes before re-entering the game. The game ends when all posts are captured or when the time is up. If the time expires then the team with the most positions claimed wins. CQB is like a regular airsoft battle between two teams, it is just played in close quarters as the name indicates. Many people choose to play this game with only airsoft pistols because of the close quarters, but that is up to the players in the game.

To win you need to eliminate the other team. In save one bullet a group of players need to barricade themselves in a defensive position, such as a bunker or fort. Each player in the defensive barricaded position are allowed one clip or magazine. The team they are trying to defend against can have as much ammo as they want.

To win the team in the defensive position needs to eliminate the other team before being shot or running out of their limited ammo supply. This is a simple, and short airsoft game. Players divide into 2 even teams and everyone is armed with an airsoft pistol. One team needs to eliminate the whole other team to win. Fort Wars is a variation of Capture the Flag.

In the game, there are two teams that each have their own fort with a flag in it. There will also be 4 different posts, or forts in the game. The objective is to secure as many posts as possible within the specified time span usually 30 minutes. If a player is shot by airsoft rifle or any other gun they must sit out the remainder of the game. The team possessing the most posts at the end of the time limit wins the game. Hostage rescue requires two teams, one team is the guards, and the other team is the hostages and the rescuers.

The hostages are placed in various locations throughout the battlefield area with guards close by. The rescue team needs to try and release the hostages without being shot. Once they rescue hostages they need to get them back to a specified fort, or safe place. The guards win if they can eliminate the other team with airsoft rifles before they rescue the hostages. If the rescuers can free all the hostages and get them to the safe place they win.

The airsoft rescuers should have airsoft rifles but also need to carry airsoft pistols to give to a hostage when they rescue them. In Manhunt, there will be a team of hunters and a team of prey.

The hunters need to eliminate the prey before they can make it to a specified safe place. The hunters win if they can keep the prey from making it to their home base. The prey win by getting back to their home base.

In Prison Break, there are two teams, one being guards and the other prisoners. The prisoners are only allowed to have airsoft pistols, but the guards can use airsoft rifles and any other type of airsoft guns that they want. The prisoners need to escape and get back to a chosen safe space to win. The guards need to stop the prisoners from getting back to their safe space.

Officers is another simple airsoft game which has two teams. One team is officers, and the other team are attackers. The officers need to follow a specified path, and to win they need to make it to the end of that specified path without being shot.

Milsim stands for Military Simulation. That means that these Airsoft games are like military operations which I find the most exciting games. Actually these games make the Airsoft sport really stand out from other shooting sports. This kind of play refers to playing indoors. Those indoor locations have many small rooms and a lot of obstacles and structures.

This indoor kind of playing differs from playing outside on an Airsoft field. You can only play specific game types however, those games all derived from Traditional, Speedsoft and CQB type of games.

Maybe you did already a bit of research before you came on this webpage. You probably found out that there are a verity of Airsoft games from which half of them are based on each other but with a little twist. Learn the basics first. That means do a couple of common Airsoft games which are easy to play for everyone as a beginner. After that you can improvise a bit. Here are some widely known Airsoft games, especially for small groups. This game is actually the most simple one out there. Nothing more than that.

As this game is not complex you can play this Airsoft game in small groups or large groups. I thought about a variant of the classic VIP game so that smaller groups can play this game too. For example if your group exists of 6 people, the small group of five has a goal to escort the VIP to a selected location in a certain amount of time.

This game is great when you can divide your group in 2 or 3 small teams of 2 or 3 members. The game starts as a Last Man Standing type of play. All against all. After you hit someone the game changes a bit. You the shooter goes to the person who is being hit and touch his shoulder. The eliminated player is now alive and back in the game. But now he fights for the the person who tagged him.

This type of game creates automatically small groups by shooting each other. The last team standing wins! Some are derived from a well known game type and some are totally new for me. And I hope for you. This Airsoft game idea looks a bit like capture the flag. One member of each team has a flag attached to their vest. The person with a flag is not allowed to stay on one place and no ambush is allowed. The same applied to the other players.

Everyone must keep moving.
