By 2025, through word-of-mouth and the dedication of its members, AOJ has grown to over 200 registered players, with recent events selling out weeks in advance—something that still surprises and humbles the organizing team.

While AOJ features many standard airsoft game modes that players know and love, the organizers have experimented with creating custom scenarios, developing over 50 different game variations over time. Many of these ideas came from community suggestions and collaborative brainstorming sessions. To support these game modes, the team has applied their technical background to build various props including defusable bombs, countdown timers, domination devices, wireless hacking tools, and code breakers—though admittedly, not every prototype worked perfectly on the first try.

The founders have personally funded the equipment and props, gradually recovering costs through event ticket sales. Rather than treating AOJ as a business venture, they’ve chosen to keep it as a passion project, which means considerable personal time goes into planning events, maintaining equipment, managing the website and social media, and creating new game concepts—though they readily admit there’s always more to learn about community management and event organization.
