Have you ever been carrying something glass or fragile & had an intrusive thought such as "I wonder what kind of sound this would make it I threw it at the ground" or maybe you were having a rough week and felt like breaking something but aren't able to. Well now you can find out the answer to that question & break something would anyone looking at you oddly. Breakthrough Smash Room offers you the safe space to stop by for a visit to let out your frustrations or simply have a good time while smashing a few things. I heard about smash rooms being a thing a while back & thought it looked like it would be an interesting and fun experience. Just recently I received the chance to stop by Breakthrough Smash Room for a review!
They are located at 3414 W. Union Hills Dr. Suite #8 Phoenix, AZ 85027 it is just a few doors down from the bowling alley. If you are not located in Phoenix, I would check to see where your closest smash room is. Prices start at $39 per person which includes the room space, protective gear & a crate of objects to be smashed along with a bottle of water after if you wish & a locker to store your stuff. Add on items are available such as glitter bombs (glass jars with confetti) and they also had a wide selection of large items like fax machines and more. They will provide you with a pair of coveralls, gloves and a face shield. If you prefer not to wear the coveralls they will allow you to wear long sleeves + long pants instead, and they will provide a set of plastic gloves to be worn under the protective gloves to make things more sanitary. Wear a pair of protective shoes with a thicker sole, there will of course be broken glass all over the room & you may have to step on a piece from time to time so you want to make sure your feet are protected.
Before entering into your smash room they have a long hall way filled with crates that each have an assortment of items in them. You will be allowed to select one crate per person in your group to take with into your smash room. A table with a smash mat is provided in your room, along with hanging clips & empty crates. A Bluetooth speaker is also provided so you can play music if you wish, we opted to just chat and have fun while in the room. All of the items in the crates range from empty beer bottles to vases and even plates. Some of the items has chips or cracks and all of the larger items like the fax machines were no longer in working condition so everything that is destroyed was destined to be tossed out anyway.
If you are a ball of stress or are working through a few things this experience can be quite therapeutic. My small group just went to have fun & experience something new. Being able to just let loose was a lot of fun. I think one of my favorite things I was able to smash was a plate, because I chucked it at the wall like a frisbee and was able to watch it explode into a pieces. The glitter bombs were fun as well seeing all of the confetti falling down once the bottles shattered open. It was also neat seeing which bottles were very simple to smash & which were more heavy duty and bounced off the wall instead of smashing.
There is a bucket of different tools you can use to break things from crowbars to baseball bats or you can opt for just chucking things at the wall by hand. We did a mixture of both! When we had first arrived I was slightly nervous, mainly because getting to just randomly smash things isn't a every day thing and I wasn't sure how much bounce back there would be of projectiles. But everything was pretty centered to the front of the room & by the end we were all having a great time. When you are finished you won't need to worry about clean up, a staff member will be by to seep up the mess and prep the room for the next group. This is definitely an experience we would do again. Breakthrough Smash Room also offers party experiences so you can book a larger room for a birthday party or other event. Stop by their website to check out all of the packages they have to offer & book a day to head down to let out some stress.

Well, if this doesn't ease your stress, I don't think anything will. I would love this.
I need this in my life. I've been super stressed lately, and the idea of just destroying everything in the room is really appealing at the moment. LOL
I am going to have to look into whether there are any Breakthrough Smash Rooms near me. And my sister-in-law winters in Arizona, so I'll pass along this information to her. It's always cool to try something new and innovative!
Your review of the Breakthrough Smash Room is so engaging and fun! I love how you captured the excitement and therapeutic benefits of the experience—thanks for sharing such a unique activity!
I so wish there was a Breakthrough Smash Room near me! What a great way to let out some frustrations and have a bit of fun. Thanks for sharing your experience. Stephanie4
My older kids loving going to the Smash Room here in our city, they say it is the best way to relive stress and it was fun. Sounds like you had a great experience with the Breakthrough Smash Room too. Great review.
This is interesting idea and experience. I've definitely asked myself what it would sound breaking up many things haha.
This looks very entertaining! I have heard of destruction rooms but I don't think we have one near us. Sounds like fun!
I have never tried to break anything in purpose but I think this is the nice way to release your stress instead releasing it to other people. lol!
Such a fun and unique experience! Smashing things with a crowbar and throwing items at the wall was both thrilling and stress-relieving. The staff handles clean-up, making it hassle-free. Highly recommend for a memorable activity or event!
Proof that you can make money even with rubbish if you market yourself right. I heard a story of a man who said he could sell New York rubbish to people. And tourists bought what he packaged up as souvenirs. Not sure if it is true, but I'd believe it.
I would love to do this when i experience extreme disapppintment or frustration!
Hhhmmmm....I look forward to the day I get into a smash room. I won't leave with any frustration in me. Thank you for this.
What an interesting idea.
