What is a break room?

You may be wondering what one actually does in a break room. The idea is pretty simple, yet the effect is an addiction to a fun way of eliminating stress. A break room is often a warehouse or a large open space where people go to break items with baseball bats, crowbars or sledgehammers. The idea behind this concept is that breaking objects lowers our stress levels and is, at the same time, an enjoyable activity. Many people see going to a break room together with friends as being a unique moment of bonding and cheer.

There are several breaking packages which the customers get to pick from. The purchasers have absolute smashing control over what they acquired and are allowed to customize their list of objects to shatter. There are several objects available for breaking - electronics, kitchen items, bathroom tiles, mirrors, printers, TVs, telephones, furniture or even toilet bowls.

Why does breaking things lower our stress levels?

There are many existing speculations as to why breaking things helps with our stress. The main one is that when we are in stressful situations, we accumulate a lot of tension. As this tension keeps building up, it triggers a fight or flight impulse. Most people get rid of this tension, which is a built up energy, by choosing the breaking of things as an outlet. If we have things to unload our stress on, then we don’t redirect that stress towards other people. There is no need to yell, be angry, and thus hurt someone we love or care for. 

Why choosing Bucharest Break Room?

The Break Room in Bucharest is Romania’s only place where one can safely destroy objects in a contained space and relieve stress while making a total mess. One can break a myriad of items in this warehouse close to the city center, get rid of built-up stress and have a day filled with laughter. 

This break room is popular among corporations which send their employees to do team building exercises here.
