Ever wanted to smash a plate in the name of frustration? Rage rooms are a space where people can express their anger by destroying various breakable objects in a safe, controlled setting.
Rage rooms began popping up in the early 2000s, and today there are hundreds of rooms open in cities all over the United States – with a few opportunities to rage right here in Michigan.
With its controlled setting and lively environment, a rage room is a healthy way to let out anger and exert energy. Destruction therapy can also help you release negative emotion or stored stress. Plus, many rage room facilities tailor the experience to each client, allowing you to bring your own “rage playlist,” or personal household items to smash, for extra catharsis.
It should be noted that while rage rooms can temporarily relieve frustration and leave you feeling free, attending one is not a substitute for professional help and mental health tools.
However, if you’re looking for a power hour to release some rage and blow off steam, you might be interested in one of these rage room locations in metro Detroit — in fact, many customers often don’t realize just how interested they were and are often surprised at how they feel after the session and admit: “I didn’t even know I needed that!”
Note: for all rage rooms, you must wear closed-toe shoes and proper attire. Adults must accompany minors.
