The staff were very friendly, very helpful, you can choose your own music. The experience maybe short, but defintely worth it. The feeling of smashing a wine glass with a baseball bat is sooo satisfying I couldn't wipe my smile off my face for every piece I smashed. Laughing & giggling like a schoolgirl the whole time. Highly reccomend this place whether it's for fun or you have some issues going on.

Absolutely loved it, it was amazing stress relief after exams! There was some issue setting up the Spotify playlists we'd made but the staff were super helpful. The box given finishes quite quickly once you're in the groove of things so highly recommend buying another box or something bigger to have a proper go!

An amazing concept, went there with a date and it was lots of fun. A tip you can even take your own crockery to break along with what they give you.
Also all the broken things are reused to make roads!

The staff made my experience so memorable and fun. It's the safest space I've been in a while. No judgements. Words can't fully explain how gem of a place this is.

My 12 year old brother is visiting from the outback and has been obsessed with the idea of the break room (he lives with ADHD, perfect to let off some energy) so last night I went ahead and purchased us tickets to go this afternoon.
I woke up this morning thinking I should call to double check there is no age restriction.

Ruby, their so called customer service representative was quick to inform me their "policy" is strictly no refunds and did not offer to change the date of my booking then hung up on me. Last time I checked working in customer service for 8 years that there is a change of mind policy where customers are allowed a full refund on goods that have been paid for at full price. Furthermore this "policy" is not catered for those with disabilities or mental health problems which counteracts their ethos for people whom have extra but up stress and anger eg anxiety and/or other mental health problems - if you did need to change the date due to this you simply aren't given the option. We're now out of pocket $120 which is apparently can't be transferred to a voucher. What kind of service doesn't give this option? I can't name one.

This was sooo much more fun than I thought it would be! Friendly staff, great setup, and an awesome workout with the sledgehammer option! Definitely recommend:)

I got this activity as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend. Between corona and other things I felt that this would be a good way of blowing off some steam. The guys at the break room was all so nice and made sure we were being safe but also having fun! We will definitely come back with a group of friends, thanks again guys!

Cannot recommend this place enough! After a hard few months of isolation this was the outlet that we needed. The staff were absolutely fantastic and they make the experience! From entry to end they are professional and make you feel comfortable and at ease! You get to choose your music and your selection of breakables! The feeling after you have finished is hard to explain! If you are thinking of doing this 100% do! Cant wait to go back!

My first, of what will be many trips, to The Break Room did not disappoint!
The emotional experience of breaking things is one I've never felt before.
The team were welcoming, easy going, encouraging and non judgemental.
I would highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.

This experience was brilliant!
I was nervous at feeling 'aggressive' or 'angry', but it never actually felt like that. It was extremely cathartic and a great workout: D
The staff were all lovely. They made us feel completely safe and judgement free. My friend cut herself and as one of the staff members was performing first aid they asked if she gave consent for them to physically touch her. Absolutely respectful and kind. I also appreciated that there were no time restrictions and we could use our own music.
I would highly recommend and will definitely do it again.

Great opportunity to let off steam!
Staff very friendly and very helpful
Although
Place is grotty
Outfits hot and heavy and not overly clean
Nowhere to get changed
No lockers or safe secure place to leave personal items
Not enough space to comfortably swing bat in room. (too much left over smashed croquery in room). And broken hitting T
Outdoor signage is hard to see and find

We all had fun overall, sound small but we were a bit upset with wrong music requests being put on, staff just guessed what song I requested and choosing the wrong one and having to listen to it when “you’re in the zone” was very disappointing. Not very apologetic when asked about it.other than this the experience was fun, unsure if we would be return customer as novelty affect has worn off

The staff are exceptionally courteous and explain everything clearly. The experience itself is an exhilarating release and you feel strangely happy and giddy afterwards.

The break room is something we all need in our lives. Such an amazing relese of energy and rage. Thank-you to all the amazing and supportive staff. You are making the world a better place, one smashed plate at a time!

A bloody good time and a really unique experience, plus a whole bunch of awesome people working there. Also stoked to learn that everything is bought from op shops, then recycled.

When they say this is cathartic, they're not wrong! So surprisingly satisfying! Also the staff are so welcoming. If you've always wanted to just smash something against a wall, do it!

So much fun. Soooo so much fun. Have been twice and will probably go again. A great gift idea too when you've left it until the last minute. Definitely worth bringing your own stuff to smash from the salvos though. 10/10 would recommend!

Fun experience! Got some angry out and felt better. Only problem was timing. You’d only be in the room for around 5 mins max.

FINALLY! Got to experience The Break Room as part of some birthday activities recently and it didn't disappoint AT ALL!
Helpful and fun staff, great atmosphere, your choose of tunes/ music whilst releasing any excess stress, energy, emotions or if you just felt like smashing up some stuff without the guilt & stigma that you are possibly losing your mind.
Only negative is. I had DOMS / sore muscles the next day! Haha
Would definitely recommend and will be back soon, thanks guys!

Amazing staff, awesome experience and super supportive! It was such an awesome way to let out some anger, frustration and deal with some of the emotions that needed addressing ;) Very therapeutic! Thanks so much for making this time more enjoyable. One thing I would suggest would be to add curtains or some sort of privacy as it may be helpful for someone to be able to open up and really let loose.thanks so much, well worth the money, I would highly recommend this form of therapy:)
