Dublin has a strong choice of team activities for stag groups. They all bring competition, but they feel very different: some hurt, some are pure comedy, and some are in the city centre while others are outside the city.

How they compare
🔫 Laser tag
Tactical laser games in the city centre for groups of up to 32. No pain, no mess – easy to do the day after a big night.
🎯 Reball
Indoor paintball with reusable rubber balls in the city centre – it stings, but less mess than classic paintball.
🌲 Outdoor paintball
Themed battlefields outside the city for groups of 8 or more. The real thing, with bruises to prove it.
🏹 Archery tag
Dodgeball meets archery with foam-tipped arrows – fast, competitive and indoors.
⚽ Bubble football
Football in giant inflatable bubbles. Nobody is good at it, which is the point.
