Smash Space UK was established in July 2021 with the intention of bringing the first Rage Room to Newcastle. It is believed that Rage Rooms originate from Japan with the first one allegedly opening in 2008. The concept has quickly spread across the globe with hundreds being created in Serbia, Argentina and the USA. Their mission is to create a safe environment where people can let out their stresses of day-to-day life. It provides an opportunity to participate in a new and fun activity, release anger and frustration or just have some fun!
