What is the Break Room?
The Break Room started as a flash of inspiration in a moment of rage and has now become a place where you can safely break, crush and shatter objects to your heart's content. Our goal is for you to come out a calmer and happier person than when you went in.
Where is The Break Room?
The Break Room is at 29 Budd St, Collingwood. Look for the big murals and come down the laneway.
What do you do in The Break Room?
Inside The Break Room there's only you, your breakables and a baseball bat in your hand. How you spend you time and how you go about letting out your feelings is entirely up to you. Your goal is to use this time to feel better, release any aggression, and have a great time. We'll do everything we can to make that happen for you along the way.
Is this safe?
We pride ourselves on making The Break Room extremely safe. All we ask is that you wear closed shoes for your session, we'll take care of the rest of you. We'll be giving you thick gloves, either a thick coat or a pair of coveralls to wear, and full face protection. You'll be covered head to toe. We also have a First Aid kit on hand.
What kind of stuff can I break?
When you visit The Break Room you're given a crate full of crockery to smash. We source all our breakables from Op Shops so if you've seen it on a shelf at an Op Shop, there's a good chance you'll be breaking it. If you have any suggestions hit us up at info@thebreakroom.com.au.
How much does a session in The Break Room cost?
We are selling tickets over at the Booking page.
Can I play music while I'm in there?
Yes! We have speakers so you can pick your jam to get reckless to.
How many people can be in the room?
Only one person is allowed in a Break Room at a time. We do have Group Bookings so you can come with friends but there will always be only one person per room.
Can I bring my own breakables?
Yes, but at our discretion. If there's something you've always wanted to break or has been an object of frustration, feel free to bring it with you. A disposal fee is involved so please let us know ahead of time what you’re bringing. We aren’t a rubbish tip, don’t bring old bottles or recycling waste. Put it in the recycling bin.
Can anyone do this?
If you're over 18 you're more than welcome to come to The Break Room. The Break Room does reserve all rights to refuse entry to individuals who we deem unfit for the activities though so please bear that in mind before coming.
What's with the pink?
The pink we're using is Baker-Miller Pink. Baker-Miller pink has been used in correctional facilities across America to calm violent inmates and has shown significant drops in hostile behaviour by inmates exposed to the colour. We want to bring the same calm to you when you visit us and what better way to do that than have it on our site.
