HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe Paintball

By Aric Lantiegne • April 23, 2025
LEARN HOW TO PLAY: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Paintball Scenario Game BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL: THE BATTLE FOR ETERNIA Spring Scenario Game @ Adventure Games Paintball ⚔️ OVERVIEW Skeletor’s evil plans are in motion. The dark forces of Snake Mountain have launched a full-scale assault on Eternia, hoping to breach the ancient halls of Castle Grayskull and claim the secrets of the universe. But the Heroic Warriors won’t back down. From the battlefield to the Mystic Mountains, He-Man rallies his allies in a desperate stand to stop Skeletor once and for all. Choose your side. Fight for Eternia. Unlock the power of Grayskull. 🛡️ TEAMS Team He-Man • Faction: Heroic Warriors • Team Color: Blue 🔵 • General: He-Man (Ryan Cronin)
 Team Skeletor • Faction: Evil Warriors • Team Color: Red 🔴 • General: Skeletor (Kenny Morin)
 💥 MEET YOUR GENERALS The fate of Eternia rests in the hands of two veteran warriors—each ready to lead their team to victory through grit, strategy, and pure paintball mayhem. 🔵 COMMANDING THE HEROIC WARRIORS: HE-MAN – RYAN CRONIN Wielding the Power of Grayskull and leading the Blue Team is Ryan Cronin, stepping into the boots (and biceps) of He-Man himself. Ryan brings the look, the energy, and the love for the game that makes him the perfect choice to command the forces of good. A regular force in scenario events, 10-man throwdowns, and competitive tournaments, Ryan has played nearly every style of paintball—and dominates them all. He’s known for his leadership on the field, relentless communication, and the ability to turn the tide of battle when his team needs it most. If you’re looking for a general who knows how to push the pace and rally the troops, you’re in good hands with He-Man. 🔴 COMMANDING THE EVIL WARRIORS: SKELETOR – KENNY MORIN Scheming from the shadows of Snake Mountain and taking charge of the Red Team is Kenny Morin, embodying the chaotic brilliance of Skeletor. Kenny is one of the most formidable and unpredictable scenario generals you’ll ever face. He doesn’t just play hard—he goes hard. A lifelong scenario and rec-ball fanatic, Kenny brings intensity, creativity, and constant pressure to every game he commands. He’s known for crafting smart plays, flanking from unexpected angles, and keeping his opponents off-balance. If you’re on Team Skeletor, you’re in for an aggressive, full-send kind of day—and if you’re playing against him... be ready. 🎯 GAME FORMAT The event is played over three separate games, each with a fresh set of missions, props, and scoring. Points carry over between rounds to determine the overall winner. Between games, teams will reset to their bases. Props and items will be repositioned. 🏆 SCORING & VICTORY • Each mission awards points to your team (listed per mission). • Control of key objectives and retrieval of themed props add to your total. • Final victory goes to the team with the most total points after all three games. 🧠 STRATEGY TIP Recruit wisely, hold ground fiercely, and never let the Power Sword fall into enemy hands. It's not just about muscle—it's about timing, teamwork, and tenacity. 🔄 RESPAWN & GENERAL RULES • Standard unlimited respawn unless mission specifies otherwise. • Players must return to base and touch their respawn point or a mobile respawn point • Generals (He-Man & Skeletor) are worth more points so make sure you eliminate them! 🎮 GAME ONE: "THE BATTLE BEGINS" • Find the Power Weapons (30 points) 🔵 Heroic Warriors Mission: “By the Power of Grayskull!” Objective: Locate the hidden Sword of Power and return it to Castle Grayskull to unlock He-Man’s full strength and awaken the magic of Eternia. 🔴 Evil Warriors Mission: “The Havoc Reigns” Objective: Track down and recover the legendary Havoc Staff, Skeletor’s dark conduit of forbidden power. Deliver it to Snake Mountain to amplify dark magic and unleash chaos across Eternia. • Recruit the Champions (60 Points Total) • Scattered across the field are Special Warriors for each team • Teams must locate and return them to base. • 10 points per character • Bonus: find all your warriors by game end = +20 points • Shattering the Shields of Sorcery (100 Points Total) Objective: Across the battlefield, eight magical barriers have been cast by ancient forces—four protecting each team’s Arcane Crystals. Each team must: • Defend their four magical barriers from enemy forces
 • Attack and destroy the enemy’s four magical barriers to access their Arcane Crystals
 • Retrieve the crystals and return them to your base to empower your team’s ultimate weapon (the Sword of Power or the Havoc Staff)
 Scoring: +25 points for each Arcane Crystal successfully retrieved and returned to base • 🐯 Mission: Release the Beast! (50 Points) Objective:The mighty tiger companions of Eternia have been locked in enchanted cages somewhere on the battlefield. Only by finding the hidden keys can each team free their ally and return them home to fight again. 🔵Team He-Man must free Battle Cat 🔴Team Skeletor must free Panthor Mission Steps: • Locate the key hidden somewhere on the field • Use the key to unlock the cage holding your team's tiger • Escort the tiger prop safely back to your base • Score once the tiger is successfully secured at your Main Base
 Scoring:+50 points for successfully freeing and returning your tiger to base 🎮 GAME TWO: "SECRETS OF CASTLE GRAYSKULL" • The Staff Reborn (100 Points Total) 🔵 Heroic Warriors Mission: “Reforging the Staff of Elders” Objective: The ancient Staff of the Elders, once wielded to protect Castle Grayskull, was shattered during the last great battle for Eternia. The seven fragments have been scattered across the realm. Team He-Man must: • Search the battlefield for all 7 pieces of the Staff of the Elders
 • Reassemble the staff at Castle Grayskull (blue team base)
 • Once complete, the staff enhances your magical defenses and empowers your ultimate weapon (the Sword of Power)
 🔴 Evil Warriors Mission: “Reawakening the Staff of Havoc” Objective: Before the Havoc Staff, there was an even darker weapon—the original Staff of Havoc, said to draw magic from the core of Snake Mountain. Broken into seven cursed shards, it now lies dormant across the realm. Team Skeletor must: • Locate all 7 shattered pieces of the ancient Staff of Havoc
 • Reconstruct it at Snake Mountain (red team base)
 • Once reassembled, the staff strengthens your dark magic and channels chaos into the Havoc Staff Scoring: • +10 points per shard recovered • +30 bonus points for completing and assembling the staff • Max: 100 points • Unleash the Arcane (100 points) Objective:With your ancient staff fully reassembled, you now possess the power to Unleash the Arcane and unlock the gateway to a hidden stronghold deep in Eternia: the Hall of the Elders. But only one team may enter its sacred chamber and claim the powerful Relic of Eternia — a magical artifact said to shift the balance of battle in the wielder’s favor. Mission Steps: • Bring your completed staff to the Hall of the Elders (marked objective zone).
 • Hold the Hall uncontested for 5 minutes to claim the Relic of Eternia.
 • Return the relic to your base to unlock its power in the final battle.
 Reward:The Relic of Eternia grants a magical edge (buff or advantage) during the Final Battle 3. Runes of Eternia (100 Points) Objective: Scattered across the realm lie four Mystic Sites of Power—ancient shrines said to connect the magical lifeblood of Eternia itself. To activate each site, teams must bring the correct Ancient Rune Stone and match it to the right pattern. Only by aligning the runes correctly at all four sites can your team unleash a magical surge that strengthens your forces and weakens your enemy’s hold on the realm. There are 4 themed Mystic Sites around the field: • Shrine of Light • Flame Gate • Temple of the Wilds • Nexus of the Skies Each site requires a specific rune match to activate. Teams must scout each site before the mission (or early in the match) to discover the correct rune required. Mission Steps: • Deliver the correct rune to each site • Place it correctly to activate the shrine • Successfully match all 4 to complete the circuit of magic Scoring: • +20 points for each correct rune match placed • +20 bonus points for activating all four sites
 ⚔️ Final Mission: "RISE OF SNAKE MOUNTAIN" Objective:In a last desperate move, Skeletor has summoned the Army of the Damned—a wave of cursed skeleton warriors risen from the dark places of Eternia. Empowered by dark amulets, they are nearly invincible… unless struck down by the Sword of Power itself. It falls to He-Man, wielding the legendary blade, to banish the undead and reclaim the final spark of Eternia’s magic before it is lost forever. Mission Details: • 6 Skeletons from the Army of the Damned are deployed across a designated area • Each undead soldier is wearing a dark amulet prop around their neck • Only He-Man may eliminate undead (Only with melee, or the Sword of Power) • Once “eliminated,” the He-Man player must remove the amulet prop from the undead • Amulets must be collected and returned to the respawn area.
 Twist: • The undead can respawn, unless their amulet is removed • If Skeletor’s team protects the undead long enough, they can power a ritual that earns them bonus points or denies He-Man the win
 Scoring: • +10 points per amulet removed and secured • +20 bonus points if all undead are fully purged (amulets removed)
 “The final battle is not just for the fate of Castle Grayskull—but for the very soul of Eternia.” 🌟 Eternian Perks & Power-Ups Throughout the battlefield, both teams may discover magical artifacts, tech relics, and warrior gear that can dramatically shift the course of the game. Here’s what you may find: • ⌛ Crystal of Delay “Time bends for no one... unless you wield this.” • Use to delay the enemy’s respawn window by 2 minutes • Must be turned in to a referee • Single use • 🌫️ Orb of Obscura (Smoke of Elimination) “Where there's smoke... there’s sudden elimination.” • Deploy a smoke grenade with magical energy • Any enemy player caught within the smoke when deployed is considered eliminated • Smoke must be activated by a ref or game official
