Sydney is known for its high cost of living, and now Sydneysiders have a new way to cope with the stress of these financial pressures. Smash Room City is the city's newest rage room, where people can take out their frustrations on everyday items like old TVs, computer monitors and other appliances.
Smash rooms, also known as anger rooms, rage rooms, or are unique venues that allow people to break items to their heart's content. The concept is simple: individuals enter a room filled with items like plates, vases, and other objects, then take out their frustrations by smashing them. It's a fun way to release stress without any risk of injury or damage to one's personal property.
The concept of rage rooms has been gaining popularity around the world in recent years as a way to unleash bottled up emotions in a safe and controlled environment.
Evidence suggests that rage rooms can provide an effective way to deal with emotions such as frustration and anger. A study out of the University of Oxford found that levels of cortisol - recognized as the 'stress hormone' - were reduced when participants performed intense activities such as smashing items in rage room sessions.
At Smash Room City, participants wear protective gear and smash the items with a range of "weapons" such as a sledgehammer. Smash Room City also features wall-to-wall graffiti art that patrons can add to as part of their experience. In addition to providing stress relief, Smash Room City also allows guests to customise their package with different items and playlists of music, making each session unique.
Special events such as team socials and birthday parties are also a hit at Smash Room City, says Founder Sarhang Shafiq
"Smash rooms are a fun and healthy way of letting go of anything that's bothering you, or just a great way to have fun. We're the only smash room in Sydney that allows group bookings, so Smash Room City is great for a fun date idea, birthday party or team building event."
