RIDDLE ME THIS...

The Escape Room: An Amazing Adventure for the Whole Family!

Welk Resorts San Diego has created the perfect Escape Room experience. Designed with fun in mind, you'll find it's not only an escape from every day life, it's an escape from this century!

Turn the clock back to the early 1800s — the era of explorer and inventor Edmond Dantés. Edmond's assistant arrives at the inventor's study to find that Edmond has been perilously trapped in time! Fortunately he's hidden clues around his study to help you unlock the mystery. The entire family will need to work together to solve each riddle and rescue the inventor. But hurry, the clock is ticking!

The Bookings family from Bangor, Maine was among the more than 200 Welk Owners and guests who have recently experienced the Escape Room. Working together, they found they reconnected in ways that just don't often happen in their day-to-day interactions.

"This was fun and challenging for the whole family! It was very well done, including the artifacts in the room. We hope to see more activities like this in the future. We can't wait to come back and see what the next Escape will be!"

There are no prerequisites for this adventure. Each team consists of up to 12 people, and you have just one hour to work together to find a way unlock the clues and release Edmond Dantés. Some clues are easier than others to figure out. Being stumped is not a stopping point, it's a chance to put your team's talents and skills together collectively to triumph.

According to the Bookings, "We felt a great sense of accomplishment as we completed the challenge in just 28 minutes. We also appreciate that the Escape Room was a breakaway from the technology that has separated us as a family."

Owners may reserve the Escape Room by calling the main resort line 760.749.3000 and choosing the Harmony Hill extension 22169.

WINTER WONDERLAND IN TAHOE

Winter in Tahoe: An All-Access Pass to the Best of Northstar

Owners who have enjoyed our highly demanded Northstar Lodge know that nothing says winter in Lake Tahoe like spending powdery days on the mountain and evenings around the fires, sipping hot chocolate with loved ones. But not everyone thinks a day on the slopes is the best thing to do when it's freezing outside. For those of you who prefer shopping to skiing, read on!

There's plenty for everyone to do at Northstar. The Village at Northstar offers spa services, a range of restaurants and wine bars, movie theatre, gourmet market, unique gifts and clothing — and not just parkas and boots (although they have them, too!) Venture farther afield and you'll find snowmobile tours, snowshoing, sledding and even sleigh rides. Here's what visitor Lucy Connor suggests:

"This is a fabulous place! We don't ski, but there a lot of activities for non-skiers. We were there with our son and his family. I read, knitted, window-shopped in the village, sat by an outdoor fire pit, went to the skating rink, visited and people-watched. The grandkids had a great time in the pool and hot tub, as they had both all to themselves. We loved it!"
