How Brainerd Residents Are Spending Their Next Night Out

A Smash Room and Splatter Paint Studio Built for Real Stress Relief

During those long stretches of winter when the lakes freeze over and outdoor recreation takes a back seat, Brainerd residents know how to find ways to stay active and entertained. Emotion in Motion in Sauk Rapids is about 60 miles south — a manageable drive for an experience that's completely unlike anything available closer to home. Our rage lab and splatter paint studio bring together physical catharsis and creative expression in a single facility designed to send you home feeling genuinely refreshed.

Brainerd serves as a regional center for surrounding lake country communities, and residents are already comfortable making drives for entertainment, dining, and events. Adding a smash room session or splatter paint outing to that rotation is a natural fit — and once you've experienced it, the drive south feels shorter every time. Instead of settling for another forgettable evening, come do something that gives you a real story to tell.

Rage Lab, Splatter Room, and Private Events All Under One Roof

Emotion in Motion was built for people who want more from their free time. The smash room — our rage lab — is a fully enclosed, safety-equipped space where you select breakable items from our shelves, put on your protective gear, and let go of everything that's been building up. It's physical, satisfying, and done with music blasting in the background. The splatter paint room is the creative flip side: paint flying, walls covered in color, and zero concern about making a mess because we clean up everything.

For Brainerd groups, the experience works especially well as a private event. Birthday parties, group celebrations, and team outings can all be customized around your group's size and preferences. Sessions are reservation-based, so planning ahead ensures your time is set before you make the drive down.

Brainerd visitors ready to plan their session can reach out to Emotion in Motion today to book a smash room or splatter painting experience in Sauk Rapids, MN.
