Did you know that both Grand Colorado on Peak 8 and the Grand Lodge on Peak 7 have their own escape rooms?

Grand Colorado on Peak 8 features the GC8 Escape– You and your team are the crew of one of Breckenridge’s most prosperous dredge boats.

You’ll need to use all of your skills and ingenuity, and you’ll need to be quick. If you don’t power up the boat within 60 minutes, your boss will cancel your contract and hire your rivals. Does your team have what it takes?
