Got an axe to grind? Throw it instead!

Frustrated? Throw an axe

Location: Amman, Jordan

Jordanians have found a creative way

to release pent-up energy

The 'Axe Rage Rooms' feature activities

like destroying televisions

and plate smashing

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) PLAYER, NOUR MOHAIB, SAYING:

"We're used to throwing darts at targets to get points. But the idea of throwing an axe at the same target is quite new. This is a great way to spend your surplus energy."

Founder and director Aladdin Attari

says interest in these activities has increased

as people searching for new entertainment

amid some ongoing restrictions

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF AXE RAGE ROOMS, ALADDIN ATTARI, SAYING:

"People wanted to engage in sports and entertainment activities like this. We have imposed many safety measures, no one can enter the area where the axes are thrown, and there's safety gear for the face and the eyes."
