Unless you’ve been living under a wifiless
rock, you would probably have heard
about Fragment Room. Dubbed Singapore’s
first ‘rage room’, the concept has been

anger management issues, the Annihilation
($220, where one player can smash unlimited
crates of items for a full hour). I tried out
a 30-minute sesh with my colleague and
discovered the dos and don'ts of going to a
rage room.

It's cathartic to act out your fantasy of yelling at your
horrible boss while you're Hulk-smashing in the room,
but try not to be so loud that you’d wake the dead. The
walls are not that soundproof for two reasons: “It’s too
