Meet The Smash Lab team in Pretoria East! Learn about our mission to turn stress into fun with smash rooms, axe throwing, paint splatter, and RC construction.
The Smash Lab isn’t just a place—it’s a passion project brought to life by two folks who saw a gap in the entertainment world and decided to fill it with something totally unique. We’re Connie and Maruis, the duo running The Smash Lab (Pty) Ltd, and we’re thrilled to welcome you to our spot at Corner of Meadow and Lynnwood Road, Equestria, Pretoria East.
Connie’s the money maestro, keeping the books in check and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Maruis is the hands-on guy, setting up the smash rooms, axe lanes, paint zones, and RC construction area, plus handling the day-to-day action.
Together, we’ve got years of business experience from South Africa and beyond, and we’re pouring all that know-how into this fresh venture that started in May 2025. Why? Because we believe everyone deserves a fun, safe way to ditch their frustrations.
Whether it’s a tough day at work, a bit of road rage, or just life piling up, we’re here to help you smash it out and walk away smiling. Our team is dedicated to making this a go-to spot for adrenaline and relaxation, and we can’t wait to grow it into something even bigger—reaching more people who need a break from the grind. So, come on in, grab a bat or an axe, and let’s turn that stress into a good time together!
Stress Relief: Participating in physical destruction provides a means for individuals to let go of accumulated stress and emotions.
Emotional Release: Breaking objects can act as a constructive way to manage feelings of frustration and anger, allowing individuals to process their emotions within a safe space.
Empowerment: Gaining control over one’s surroundings and engaging in acts of destruction can cultivate a sense of empowerment and self-agency, enhancing self-esteem.
