Rage rooms, which may also be called smash rooms, are becoming more popular because they can be therapeutic. It consists of a closed area containing items patrons can break using baseball bats or other tools. They are a great way to relieve stress, although we’re not sure a rage room is the best place to take your date.

Although smash rooms may seem like a free-for-all, there are rules. Everyone must wear protective gear, including a helmet, goggles, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants. Some rooms will provide patrons with full-body coveralls. Safety is a primary concern.
Other rules may include only hitting or throwing things at walls designated by the staff. You should never swing your weapon at or near another person in the room. Safety guidelines should be easily visible. Businesses may have patrons sign a waiver. Rules may differ from one room to the next, but remain similar.
On second thought, a rage room might be the perfect place for a date. It is a controlled area where people bang on things to deal with frustrations. Smashing things lets a person vent, releasing pent-up feelings. The release of adrenaline is invigorating and restorative. A rage room date provides instant gratification. The actions release endorphins, the body’s natural “feel good” hormones.
Although some people think that rage rooms are an unhealthy way to relieve anger, others encourage it as a reasonably healthy outlet. Those in the “releasing anger brings more anger” may be focusing on holding their rage rather than releasing it. The concept of working through anger and frustration is to leave those negative emotions among the debris of the rage room.
If you have concerns, you might consult your therapist, if you have one, before smashing stuff.
