Introduction
The escape room is the place where mentally disturbed people can go and reduce or throw away
their stress on things that have no living importance. The customers can vent their anger by
destroying things through tools that we will provide them. We have devised strategies according to
customers taste and preferences they can choose any of the strategy which they like to reduce their
anger or depression.
The anxieties that let people come to escape room are friend drama, work stress, relationships and family
problems. These rooms will have items that could be easily smashed up because people love to break or tear
up things while they are depressed.
The escape room will provide customers a save and healthy place to throw their anger away and will keep
their secrecy rather leaking their information.

your aggression, it is obvious that it will turn dangerous and harmful. Do not hold it in for too long

out. Some mental health professionals says that escape rooms are an effective way of expressing
and letting off anger.
