The Rage Cage is a fairly new business in Panama City. The concept is interesting - you get a set amount of time in a "rage room". They also have axe throwing (also a great stress reliever).
Upon entering, we were greeted by Keydon - he was an absolute rock star, to be honest! He was kind, helpful, and energetic - perfect for this business.
To start, we did axe throwing. Keydon gave us great instruction on throwing (basic vs. advanced technique). We did that for an hour. It was fun, but man - I'd say about 90% of our throws didn't stick. The wood was hard and knotty, and the axe was dull. We had some good throws that I felt should have stuck. Anyway, it was still entertaining. Also - you pay per person and share the hour. During that hour, we all threw less than we would have had paid the same amount for our own hour... It would make more sense to just charge that out by the hour - the more people that participate, the less they'll throw... so why charge per person? Hm.
Then, on to the rage room. They provide you with about 20 breakable items each to destroy - things like glasses, plates, etc. Prior to entering the room, you are dressed in safety clothing (thick jumpsuit, gloves, and a paintball helmet/mask. There are some rules (no hitting at each other, etc).
Inside the room, you have music to smash by (just tell Alexa what you want to hear!). I believe you can have up to four people in the room, but two seemed to be ideal (one is fine, but with two, you can be creative). It's a great way to let out some rage! Also, there's the accumulating pile of broken items you can wail on.
In all, I'd say this is a good business. It can be better. Like I said - just charge axe throwing by the hour (or by the half hour, if one hour feels like a lot for two people). And maybe soften the wood (I heard some places wet the wood to help soften it). For the rage room, they should broadcast the activity on the many monitors out in the waiting area. Keydon was kind enough to let us watch on the register's monitor...
Give this business time to grow and develop. They're onto something, and it can be a raging good time! And keep Keydon - he's the best! read more
