If you’re considering a quirky, stress-busting activity during your trip to Tacoma, a Rage Room experience at Brainy Actz might just be the perfect fit. For just $40 a person, you get an hour of pure destruction—smashing everything from glassware to electronics—an unconventional way to blow off steam. This experience is not only about chaos; it’s about catharsis, safety, and a dash of adrenaline.
We like that it offers a unique form of stress relief in an environment that’s carefully designed for safety and fun. Plus, the option to customize your destruction soundtrack by choosing your favorite songs adds a personal touch that makes smashing even more satisfying. The one potential drawback?

This experience works best for adventurous spirits, solo travelers, or groups looking for an unusual activity that’s both safe and entertaining. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or just want a memorable story to tell, this is a memorable way to let out some frustration.

What’s Included and How It Works
The brainy Actz Rage Room package costs $40 per person for a full hour of destruction fun. Included in that price are safety equipment—helmets and protective gear—and axes to wield during your smashing spree. The experience is scheduled in small groups of up to four participants, ensuring a more personalized and safe environment.
Before you jump into the room, you’ll be briefed on safety rules—most importantly, no sandals or flip-flops and being sober. The environment is carefully controlled to prevent accidents, which means no alcohol or substances are allowed—I mean, who wants to be swinging a crowbar while slightly tipsy?
The Setup

The array of items provides plenty to smash, and the thrill comes from knowing you’re in a safe space designed for destruction. A viewing window is available for friends or family to watch, making it a social affair or a solo catharsis.
Choosing Your Weapon and Soundtrack
One of the favorite aspects is the ability to pick your weapon of choice—be it a hammer, baseball bat, crowbar, or an axe. This flexibility allows you to match your style of destruction, whether you prefer smashing gently or going full wrecking ball.
You’ll also love the option to curate your destruction playlist from an extensive selection. Imagine breaking dishes while your favorite rock song blares in the background—it’s oddly satisfying and can make the experience more personal and memorable.
