The Maze 2

The field

The Maze 2, also known as The Maze II, is a large outdoor field near Doische in Belgium. More than a hundred small buildings from an abandoned nineteenth-century explosives factory stand among roughly 25 hectares of woodland. The organiser puts the number of buildings at about 150. Games mix forest fighting with close-quarters play in and around the structures. The site has respawn areas and a compound with camping buildings.

Games

Airsoftvets is the regular organiser. Games run as events for most of the day, including one-day outdoor and arcade-style skirmishes and weekends over two days. Players register by email, giving the names of all players and an optional team name. A confirmation with the remaining details follows. A completed disclaimer, sent by email, must be brought on the day. Overnight stays on site are possible.

Rules

Standard FPS and joule limits apply, as at most fields. Because of an earlier fire, the site enforces strict fire rules:

• Smoke grenades and any pyrotechnics that glow or burn are banned across the whole site.
• Open fires, campfires, fire barrels and charcoal or wood barbecues are not allowed, indoors or outdoors.
• Smoking is banned in the forest, respawns and buildings during games. Only e-cigarettes are allowed there.

Anyone breaking these rules is sent off the site without warning. The field is on private property.

Amenities

Rental kits are available, with entry included. Food and drink are sold on site, and there are chemical toilets. Campers may use gas heaters and gas barbecues on their pitch only. Cigarettes must be put out in a container.
