FAQs

Smash RX LLC

We encourage you to review the full list of FAQs below. Many of the questions you may have before booking are answered here to help you prepare for the best possible Smash RX experience.

  • Can I drop in without an appointment?

    No. Smash RX does not accept walk-ins under any circumstance.


    Because we operate as both a private therapeutic practice and a recreational rage room, an appointment is required to ensure the safety, quality of care, and integrity of our business.


    Guests who arrive without an appointment will be turned away and directed to our website.

  • How old do I need to be to participate?

    The minimum age to participate is 12 years old. Participants ages 12–15 must have an adult (18+) in the room with them at all times. Participants 16 and older may participate independently.


    All patrons MUST be at least 12 years of age and MUST fit securely in all required safety equipment. This age limit will NOT be breached.

  • Do I need to arrive early to complete my waiver?

    No. There is no need to arrive early. Your appointment time already includes the necessary time to complete your waiver. We kindly ask that you DO NOT arrive more than 5 minutes before your scheduled session, as we prepare the space specifically for your group.

  • I’m not sure how many participants I will have. Can I adjust my booking on the day of my appointment?

    Yes. You can adjust your group size on the day of your appointment, as long as you remain within the parameters of our general booking packages and DO NOT exceed our Large Group maximum of 9 guests.


    For example, if you booked a Small Group package (minimum of 3 guests, maximum of 5 guests) and initially confirmed 4 guests but arrive with 2 additional participants, we can adjust your booking to accommodate them.


    Final headcount adjustments can be made at check-in to ensure your whole group can participate.

  • Can I bring my own stuff to smash?

    Yes! Bring over those old framed pictures of your ex, for example! We have a bring-your-own-breakables package. All items must be approved by one of our Destruction Care Coordinators. 


    📦 All items must fit into a 3ft x 3ft x 3ft box

    🚫 Prohibited items include:


    • CRT monitors
    • Cooling devices
    • Light bulbs
    • Pressurized cans
    • TVs or electronics of any kind

    This option is best suited for items like glassware, picture frames, or small wooden pieces.

  • What should I wear?

    You must wear closed-toed and closed-back shoes in the rage room. Absolutely no shorts are allowed. Please come dressed accordingly for safety reasons.

  • What is destruction therapy?

    Destruction therapy is a coping technique in which people break and destroy various items in order to release their emotions in a safe appropriate environment. Our “rage rooms” provide a secure and monitored arena for anyone experiencing the very normal feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, depression, or stress and want to release them. Not to mention, it’s just pure fun!


    According to Glimpse, interest in rage rooms increased by 10% in 2024. Schedule an appointment at Smash RX LLC today to learn what makes destruction therapy so effective!

  • Is this safe?

    Yes. Our number one priority at Smash RX LLC is safety. We provide all necessary safety gear for our destruction therapy clients. We also provide tools/materials that are not harmful to humans in any way.

  • Is this actual therapy?

    It can be! Destruction therapy itself is an innovative therapeutic process based on the idea that taking out stress and anxiety on inanimate objects can be therapeutic and cathartic. Most importantly, when it comes to destruction therapy, all negative emotions are directed towards inanimate objects. The use of a smash room highlights the immediate rewards of destruction and reduced tension. It offers a moment of adrenaline and relief.


    However, this will not replace traditional therapy. It is an added benefit and will produce favorable results but should not be used as a replacement for traditional therapy.

  • Is Smash RX ADA compliant?

    Smash RX offers several accessibility features, including a level entrance, accessible pathways wide enough for wheelchairs, and an ADA-accessible restroom. These accommodations ensure that guests can safely navigate our facility.


    However, because Smash RX is a rage room environment, participation in destruction therapy involves lifting, swinging, and handling heavy equipment such as hammers, bats, and sledgehammers. For safety reasons, only you can determine whether you are physically able to participate fully in these activities.


    We encourage all guests to assess their own abilities and comfort levels before booking. Safety is our highest priority, and we want every participant to have a safe and enjoyable experience.

  • Where do you get all your items for smashing? Do you accept donations?

    We source all of our smash inventory from Simi Thrift Store and Goodwill Industries of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.


    No, we do NOT accept donations.
