The Maximum City is known for its hustle, bustle and work stress. Sometimes it can really get to you. To counter the stress and anxiety that the folks in the city go through, people have come up with innovative options in Mumbai. Rage rooms, escape rooms are just a few of them.

2024 saw a substantial increase in these adult activity rooms that were different from the usual stuff and much more fructifying and efficient in busting stress.

Rage Rooms

On the way back home after a hectic workday, the frustrated person is prone to vent out anger on the fellow passengers in the train or rickshawalla. For times like this we have the Rage Room. "I always wanted to help people feel better and less stressed. That's how the idea of Rage Room started. It's like having fun while letting out all the heavy feelings inside," Ananya Shetty, founder of Rage Room, says.

Rage Rooms help release tension. "When you're upset or stressed, breaking something in a safe space helps release those feelings. It's like letting go of the anger or sadness. After smashing things, many people feel relaxed and lighter. It's like a big weight is lifted off their shoulders," she adds.
