- Each room includes a Bluetooth speaker allowing guests to play their own music.

Insider tips
- Adhere strictly to the dress code: wear long sleeves and pants to protect against flying debris and dust.
- Wear thick-soled, closed-toe shoes for added safety against glass fragments.
- Consider bringing a face mask if you have allergies or sensitivities to dust, as the rooms can get dusty.
- Maximize your session by bringing your own destroyable items (as long as they can be broken within your allotted time).
- Go with a group (friends or family) to split the room rental cost and enhance the experience.
- Choose a package suitable for your group size; the $89 package for four people provided nearly an hour of activity.
Good to know before you go
- Families with very young children or toddlers, as the activity is not designed for them and poses safety risks.
- Individuals with severe dust allergies who do not bring their own protective face masks.
- Parents unwilling to ensure their children follow the strict dress code of long sleeves, pants, and closed-toe shoes.
- Guests will likely get covered in bits of glass and dust, requiring careful clothing choices.
- The environment can be dusty, which may be a concern for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to dust.
- Crowds
- Rooms are private per group, so crowding within the activity space is not an issue. Waiting areas were not mentioned as being crowded.
- Value
- The $25 room rental is a total, not per-person fee, which includes a basic stack of breakables. This allows groups to significantly reduce the per-person cost.

The ability to bring your own items further enhances the value, as does the unique experience for stress relief.

What parents say
"10/10 would recommend. Had a great time with my friends breaking stuff. Ricky, Xavier, and Ivan got us set up with a good variety of things to smash and throw. Love that they include a Bluetooth speaker so we could blast our own music during our session."

"This was super fun! The $25 room rental goes towards your stack of breakables AND you can bring your own stuff! This also the total, not per person you can bring a bunch of people to bring the cost down. The only thing missing is cheap bunny suits to cover your clothes. You will be covered in bits of glass for the rest of the night. worth it! Fun for date night! perfect for break ups instead of a burn box. Way more satisfying!"
