Jason Eastty is the owner of the Escape Room in Worcester which houses the smash room. “We have a pretty high demand of people who want to come in and start breaking things.”
This is the areas first and only smash room. Visitor Kyra Lasorsa said, “It’s a really good way to take my anger out.”
Another visitor, Jacob Mhachrzak, said “Being able to do it without getting in trouble, it feels great.”
Eastty says there are just a handful of facilities like this around the world. The smash room has been used by companies as a team building exercise, as well as by spurned lovers asking if they can tape a picture of their ex to something smashable.
“When they come out they’re all smiles,” said Eastty. “Everyone’s very excited. We get almost the same response every time: this is so cool.”
Eastty says he scans garage sales for breakables to keep the rooms well-stocked.
After giving it a try, Mhachrzak said he is definitely coming back. “It was awesome.”
There are several packages customers can choose from, ranging from $20-$45.
