The Great Escape Room is a real-life Room Escape game. The objective is to escape from a locked room by finding clues and solving puzzles. It's a hybrid of a scavenger hunt and a puzzle game.  
  
You and your team of up to 10 will actually be locked in a room! You will have 60 minutes to try to escape. Find clues and solve puzzles to plot your Great Escape and open the door!  
  
Locked in a room with no way out, you must search for hidden compartments, secret passageways, and locks that can only be opened by your imagination. The trial is timed and teamwork is essential. Success, failure and bonding are inevitable - escape is not! When the hour is up you will only be guaranteed laughter, a sense of accomplishment, a new respect for your teammates, and, of course, a group photo. This is an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime - assuming you get out!

The fourth annual [Christkindl Market](https://www.experiencegr.com/events/annual-events/christkindl-markt/) returns to downtown Grand Rapids for 28 days of holiday cheer!

This authentic European-inspired outdoor Christmas village is lined with 60+ artisan food and gift vendors, holiday entertainment and festive family fun. It’s a winter wonderland filled with unique Christmas experiences illuminated with international flair, twinkling lights and yuletide magic.

**Shopping**

You’ll find something for everyone on your gift list at the Christkindl Markt. Local artisans and vendors offers a wide array of domestic and imported items, from made-in-Grand Rapids art, jewelry and packaged foods to Polish pottery, Turkish towels and Ukrainian wooden puzzles.

**Dining**

Come hungry – 17 ready-to-eat food booths are serving an international smorgasbord of sweet and savory goodies. Enjoy Alpine-style melted raclette, German-style brats, Bavarian pretzels, Belgian waffles, Italian porchetta sandwiches, Polish pierogies, Grand Rapids donuts and much, much more as you stroll the Christkindl Markt.

**Drinking**

The Christkindl Markt is overflowing with traditional holiday beverage options – including beer, bubbles, eggnog, hot cocoa and glühwein, a hot, spiced mulled wine popular in Germany and Austria. You can order your beverage in commemorative glassware – there are four pieces available this year – and bring it back on return visits for refill pricing all season long. You’ll also enjoy refill pricing with commemorative glassware you purchased from previous years!

**Alpenglobes**
