Smashroom HK, a "rage room" business, opened in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong in 2024. Founded by Leung Ka-lok and Alex Lau Kam-hin, it offers a space for residents to relieve stress by smashing objects like appliances and glass bottles with tools such as baseball bats and hammers. The founders believe the high-pressure environment of Hong Kong necessitates such an outlet for negative energy. Rage rooms have become a global trend in recent years, providing a controlled environment for people to release frustration through destruction.
