What Extended Smash includes
Extended Smash is a longer session format for our rage room setup in Woodstock, Cape Town. It is arranged for guests who want more time to work through the room at a steadier pace, whether that is a couple, a small group or a larger event with staggered turns. The session is run in a controlled space with safety briefing, protective gear and supervision from our team throughout.
This format is useful when the group wants a proper shared activity rather than a quick stop in and out. It gives guests more time to suit up, learn the room rules and move through the session without feeling rushed, which is helpful for birthdays, staff socials and team events. The room is set up for safe smashing, with clear boundaries and simple instructions before anyone starts.
- Longer session time than a standard booking
- Suitable for individuals, pairs and groups
- Safety briefing before entry
- PPE issued on site, including helmet, face shield, gloves and overalls
- Closed shoes required for every participant
Session sizes and booking options
Extended Smash works best when the booking is matched to the number of guests and the way they want to share the room. Smaller groups can rotate through the session, while larger groups often book it as part of a wider event plan with staggered entry times. This makes it easier to keep the pace comfortable and the room organised.
The format suits people looking for a more relaxed, longer smash experience. It can be used for private bookings, group events and company functions where guests need a bit more time together. For venues in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West and Bellville, the booking team can help match the session style to the group size and venue plan.
- Individual bookings for one person
- Two to four guests sharing a session
- Group bookings with turn-based entry
- Event formats for birthdays, student groups and staff socials
- Mobile event planning where the venue is arranged off site
Where it suits best
Extended Smash is a good fit for people who want an activity with a clear start, a proper briefing and enough time to enjoy the room without being hurried. It is popular for team building, private events and social bookings because it gives everyone a turn and keeps the group focused on a shared experience. The longer format also works well for mixed groups where not everyone wants to go at the same pace.
In Cape Town and nearby areas, it is often booked for venues with easy access, parking and enough room for guest flow. Woodstock is our base, but the format can also suit events in Observatory, Salt River and surrounding suburbs when the booking is planned properly. A bit of extra time goes a long way when the group arrives in batches or needs space for photos and briefing, so it tends to work well for organised events.
- Team building sessions with turn taking
- Birthday events with a longer social pace
- Hen and stag groups
- Student events and sports club socials
- Launch events and content shoots where timing matters
Safety gear and room rules
Every Extended Smash session starts with a safety briefing so guests know what to expect before entering the room. Protective gear is issued before the session begins, including a helmet, face shield, gloves and overalls. Closed shoes are required. Guests who do not meet the minimum age for the session are not allowed in, and any minors must be booked according to the age rules for the event type.
The room is supervised and the rules are kept simple: follow the briefing, keep the gear on, and use the space as instructed. This helps keep the session safe for the group and for the staff guiding it. The setup is not a therapy service or mental health treatment, it is a physical activity for guests looking for a controlled smash experience.
- Helmet provided before entry
- Face shield for eye protection
- Gloves and overalls included
- Closed shoes required, no sandals or open footwear
- Minimum age rules apply and are checked before the session
Installation and on-site needs
For venue-based bookings, Extended Smash needs a flat, safe area with enough access for guests, staff and equipment movement. The space should allow for a controlled setup and a clear entry and exit route. When the booking is for a mobile event, we check access, floor space and loading points in advance so the room can be arranged properly. That is especially important for corporate venues, halls and outdoor covered areas where power and access may be different.
Power needs are modest and depend on the event layout, lighting and any support equipment in use. No gas connection is needed for the room setup. Where an event is held in a building with load-shedding, a backup lighting plan may be useful, especially for evening sessions or venues with limited natural light. If the booking is at a coastal site, it is worth making sure the venue is dry and sheltered because moisture can affect some equipment and storage between sessions.
- Flat indoor area preferred
- Clear access for staff and guest flow
- Basic power supply for lighting or event support
- No gas connection required
- Dry storage and sheltered setup recommended for coastal humidity
Care, servicing and what to check before ordering
Extended Smash is easier to run well when the room, gear and booking details are checked before the day of the event. Protective gear should be inspected before each session, and the room needs regular cleaning and resets between bookings. Any damaged items, worn PPE or loose fittings should be replaced before the next group arrives. It keeps the session smoother and helps avoid delays when the venue is busy.
Before you order, check the number of guests, the session date, the venue type and whether you need an indoor or mobile setup. It also helps to confirm age ranges, parking access and whether the event is a one-off booking or part of a longer programme. For groups coming from Somerset West, Stellenbosch or Bellville, transport timing matters too, because late arrivals can affect the flow of the session. A clear booking note saves time later and avoids mix ups.
- Confirm group size and age range
- Check venue access and parking
- Note whether the booking is indoor or mobile
- Allow time for briefing and gear fitting
- Tell us about any access limits, noise rules or municipal venue requirements
Who handles the booking and support
Our Woodstock base is run by a hands-on team that handles bookings, venue flow, safety checks and group coordination. Luvuyo Mthembu leads the business, while the operations, safety and events team keep the sessions organised from enquiry to finish. That matters on longer sessions because the room needs good timing, clear handover between groups and quick support if the booking changes on the day.
Clients get in touch through the enquiry form on the contact page, then the team helps confirm the best format for the event. Whether it is a small private booking or a larger group event across Cape Town, the aim is to keep the process practical and easy to manage. If the venue needs an adjusted setup, we can talk through that before the day, rather than leaving it until the last minute.
