Nine unique things you didn’t know you could do naked
From laser tag to haunted houses, here are the most unexpected and quirky activities naturists have embraced in the buff
When it comes to naturism, most people immediately think of beaches and spas, but the world of nude recreation is surprisingly inventive. From quirky competitions to creative group activities, the naturist community has found some unexpected ways to embrace life without clothes. After hosting a series of lively discussions with our readers on Planet Nude, we compiled some of the wackiest nude activities people have actually done—and they’re not what you’d expect. From naked paintball (yes, really) to karaoke without a stitch, here are ten of the most unusual ways naturists are taking it all off and having a blast. 🚀
1. Naked paintball
We’re not going to lie—paintball hurts, even with clothes on. But for the brave souls who’ve tried it, there must be something thrilling about playing this extreme sport in the nude. Without layers of padding to absorb the hit, every shot stings just a little more, and running across the battlefield in nothing but your birthday suit makes the experience feel almost primal. It’s paintball, only now you’re more invested in dodging because, well, it’s going to hurt a lot more than usual when you get hit.
2. Naked karaoke
For anyone who’s ever faced stage fright, karaoke is daunting enough without clothes. But at many naturist resorts, naked karaoke—or as it’s frequently called, Bareoke—is a regular event where participants bravely take to the stage and sing their hearts out completely nude. There’s something hilariously vulnerable about belting out an off-key version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” with nothing to hide behind but a microphone. It’s said that once you’ve sung naked in front of a crowd, everything else in life becomes a lot easier.
3. Naked trivia nights
Combine brainpower with body freedom, and you’ve got a nude trivia night. These events have become popular at naturist resorts, where groups gather to test their knowledge on everything from pop culture to history—all while completely bare. The lack of clothing may not boost your IQ, but it certainly makes for a relaxed (and often hilarious) atmosphere. When you’re racking your brain for an obscure fact about 18th-century politics, being naked really brings a whole new meaning to mental vulnerability.
4. Nude archery
Archery might seem like a poised and controlled sport, but practicing it in the nude adds an element of unpredictability (and some hilarious concentration challenges). Some naturist clubs host nude archery events, where participants take aim while enjoying the fresh air on their skin. You wouldn’t think it, but it’s actually quite peaceful—until you’re in a competition and your perfect shot gets ruined by the realization that you’re standing completely bare, drawing back your bow while trying not to shiver.
5. Nude laser tag
Laser tag is fun enough when you're zipping around a dark maze with friends, but imagine doing it naked. That's right—nude laser tag is a thing. The combination of stealth, high-speed running, and dodging neon beams while fully exposed takes this childhood game to the next level. Without the protection of clothes, every hit feels a little more personal, and every run through the maze adds an extra layer of vulnerability (and excitement). You’re left relying on nothing but your wits and your bare skin, making each laser hit a thrilling wake-up call.
6. Naked haunted houses
Getting scared is one thing, but getting scared while you’re totally naked? That’s a whole new level of vulnerability. Some naturist communities have taken Halloween to an entirely new dimension by offering naked haunted house experiences. Picture walking through a spooky maze, bracing yourself for jump scares, but with the added thrill of having nothing between you and whatever creepy creature pops out. It sounds terrifying, yes—but also oddly exhilarating. There’s no hiding behind your clothes when a ghost jumps out of the dark.
7. Nude bowling
Bowling is typically a laid-back, family-friendly activity, but some naturist groups, like the Rocky Mountain Naturist Club out of Denver, have decided to spice things up by taking it all off for a naked bowling night. The challenge? Trying to maintain a good bowling form while completely unclothed. It turns out that wearing bowling shoes while otherwise being fully naked is a strange sensation, and the floor is a lot more slippery than expected. Still, it’s a great way to bond with fellow naturists over a classic pastime—just be careful not to drop the ball.
8. Nude Jeopardy!
Game shows are nerve-wracking at the best of times, but playing Jeopardy! while naked? It almost sounds like a bad dream. At the Eastern Naturist Gathering, they’ve been known to play naked Jeopardy!, where participants test their trivia knowledge without the benefit of clothing. Luckily, it’s not televised. It’s an exercise in both mental and physical exposure—and if you get the wrong answer, well, at least there’s no shirt to sweat through.
9. Nude tour of a Shaker community
While most people visit historical sites dressed, one naturist group decided to give new meaning to the term “history buff” by hosting a tour of a Shaker community in the altogether. The Shakers, known for their simplicity and modesty, would probably have had a few thoughts about this choice, but there’s something oddly fitting about experiencing history without modern clothing. Walking through centuries-old buildings, naked as the day you were born, offers a stripped-back way to connect with the past—literally. It’s a historical tour like no other.
Turns out, when the clothes come off, creativity comes out to play. From darting through laser tag mazes to hiking alpine trails, naturists have found ways to strip the ordinary of its limits—literally. Whether it’s the thrill of paintball without protection or the absurd joy of naked trivia, these activities prove one thing: life is a lot more fun when you’re bold enough to bare it all. 🪐
Of course, most of our regular readers here already know this, in fact, some of these things have certainly been attempted by the more experienced naturist. Have you tried one or more of these before? Let us know in the comments!

Who wants to do nude paint balling with me?! Anyone? Bueller? Sounds so rad
This article reads as if it was written by a "textile" or maybe AI. Playing nude with a group of nudists, usually at a nudist venue, does not incite feelings of vulnerability. Bowling shoes on the alley are just as slippery if you're clothed or not. I don't believe Laser Tag hurts at all. Being nude among nudists does not add "hilarity" to a game. Though I agree, paintball would sting, but you won't ruin your clothes (which wasn't mentioned).
