Things to do in Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI): The Best Room Escape Games
The comforts of a friendly, small-town atmosphere combined with the pleasures of big city life make Grand Rapids an ideal choice for a fun getaway with a host of indoor and outdoor activities. Once known as the furniture capital of the world, the city has a reinvigorated downtown area and a thriving arts and cultural community. Its most popular attraction is the museum dedicated to native son Gerald R. Ford, 38th U.S. President, where interactive exhibits take you to the White House and the 1976 Republican National Convention. Wander through the state's largest tropical conservatory at the Frederik Meijer Gardens, a magical wonderland of gardens, woodlands and over 100 bronze statues by famous artists, including the 24-foot bronze horse designed by Leonardo da Vinci. More outdoor fun is a half-hour away at the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Golf lovers have plenty of places to hit the greens since Grand Rapids has more privately owned, daily-fee, public courses than any other U.S. city. Wind up your busy weekend with a cold beer at the Hair of the Frog Brewery or the Grand Rapids Brewing Company.

Had a great time - we "escaped" with about 30 seconds to spare...with a little help from the staff. Had a great time - the puzzles were clever and gave us all we could handle (and then some!).

My staff and I had the pleasure of coming to Escape Michigan as a type of team bonding experience and it was an absolute blast! The room was very challenging and well thought out. Each step was intricate and planned to a T. Thankfully, hints at this escape room are unlimited, so we emerged successfully with a handful of minutes to spare. Ryan was a delight and a wonderful game master. His staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome upon entering. Highly recommend!

We did Licasso's Lair Escape Room as a team building event for our Clean Juice Employees! We had so much fun! Jenna did a great job calming our nerves before we started and giving us just enough clues and tips to help us make it through with only 6 minutes left on the Clock! My employees loved the experience and are all talking about going back again in the near future!
