Posted on Jaime Madrigal Lopez Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the experience here. The staff was super cool, and my SO and I had an absolute blast. I really appreciated that they had bigger coverall sizes available for those of us who need them. It made everything way more comfortable and stress-free. The biggest plus for us was being able to connect to their Bluetooth speaker and play whatever music we wanted. Huge shoutout to RaceScape for making our day even more memorable. Thanks! Posted on Diana S Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I searched around for the best value and this place was the best overall. We had so much fun here bringing our own stuff to smash for $25/pp - 20 minutes was plenty of time. This is the only place around SoCal/IE with this option. The guy that runs the place is super cool and friendly. He helped us get our stuff into the room, and walked us through everything. He also did all the cleanup for us and took pictures for us. We had so much fun at this rage room! My friend called it therapeutic. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to smash some stuff! Posted on La Tonya T Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the Rageroom Experience for my twin's 30th birthday. The experience was very thoroughly explained and very professional. If you are on the fence about doing it Go for it! Posted on Monica Hunter Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time. Great interaction with the staff. Posted on Aidan Dressler Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very fun activity, the owners provided an excellent experience. I’d recommend the Thursday date night package deal! Posted on Robert Naccarato Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time as a family, it was bonding and cathartic Posted on Angela Derby Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son turned 30 last week and I was trying to figure out something to do locally that he would enjoy. I ended up finding this place here in Oceanside that had some fun things to do. It's called Ragescape. We did an escape room where we were detective and had to enter a chop shop to find enough evidence to bust the owners and get out before they got back. The owner, Tyler, was really cool. It also happened to be his 30th birthday yesterday. We didn't finish on time but he let us finish anyway. Then we went into one of the rage rooms. We got to choose our music and go to town with sledgehammers, baseball bats or whatever tool we chose to smash bottles, figurines and a steel drum. There were more options of things to smash for additional money. What we did was enough though. I'm sore this morning but I slept so well. It was very therapeutic to be able to release everything in a controlled environment. I recommend the Ragescape to anyone looking for a fun, healthy way to spend some time. Posted on Jillian Jimenez Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Will definitely come back for another rage session!
