Admittedly, we don’t have a lot of rage. But we do have a lot of fun, and we enjoyed the Rage Room at Red Giant Experiences. This gave us the opportunity to smash and crash a lot of glass and other objects in a safe way. Think of it as recycling with a sledgehammer!
Red Giant Experiences
First of all, Red Giant Experiences, located in Orem, has quite a few venues to try. There are escape rooms, splatter rooms, axe throwing and the Rage Room that we decided to try. We can’t wait to go back for a good splatter or an opportunity to escape!
Rage Room
When you arrive at the Red Giant Experiences, you check in and sign the waiver. Then you go shopping for smashable items in their glass room. Glass items are sold by weight, and you can purchase as many pounds as you want. There are also premium items, and we decided to try a record player. This item did cost extra.
Once we had our bin full of things to smash, we put on safety clothing. Gloves and face shields are provided, and required, but there are also coveralls, which were nice to keep flying glass off your clothes. If you show up in shorts or short sleeves, you may want to pull on one of the coveralls to protect your skin, as the glass does fly when the people around you start to Rage.
After a short safety orientation, we placed some items in a safe box and selected some nice Ragey music. Then, we went inside the small room with our smashables. There were a variety of tools, from baseball bats and sledgehammers, to baseballs and crowbars. There was even a “punching shield,” which protects your hand as you punch glass bottles.
In the room, there are several stumps, as well as metal plates on the wall. You can set your smashables on the stumps and go to work with the bats and hammers, or you hang the bottles, using hooks embedded in the wall, in front of the metal plates. Our boys liked hanging bottles and then throwing the baseballs and watching the glass shatter.
As far as danger, there is some risk from the flying glass. There is also a possibility of a ricochet or carelessly swung tool, so make sure to be safe and know where others are at all times.
Then, enjoy the smashing! In the Rage Room at Red Giant Experiences, there are some extra fun buttons that provide flashing lights and smoke machines to add to the smashing experiences. Children must be at least 6 to participate, but we would recommend this for 10 and up. It feels more like a teen and adult adventure. For their current info and pricing, visit their website here.
