The Grand Rapids Public Museum (GRPM) announced today that in conjunction with the TOYS! exhibit, the Museum is partnering with City Built Brewing and Blue Bridge Games to bring their popular Game Night to the Museum this summer, to be held on Tuesday, July 16 at 6 p.m.
Game Night visitors will have exclusive access to the Museum to play games at their leisure, participate in tournaments, explore the GRPM’s TOYS! exhibit and ride the 1928 Spillman Carousel.
Award winning board games, card games as well as giant games and interactives from the TOYS! summer expansion, located throughout the Museum, will be available for visitors to leisurely play throughout the evening. Gather your close friends and spend an evening playing games for fun, or join others in exciting tournaments.
Game tournaments will be available for visitors to sign up for starting at 7 p.m. and go until 9 p.m. Matches of Euchre, Dagz, and Klask will add some friendly competition to the evening. No experience is necessary to participate in game tournaments. All games are easy to learn and even more fun to play.

Cash bars will be serving two City Built Brewing beers: Alemania, a Mexican lager, and Norwegian Haze, an IPA. Tickets are $15, with a discounted ticket of $10 for Museum members.
As part of leisure game play, Blue Bridge Games will be featuring Game of the Year winning board games! Easy to learn and fun to play, these crowd pleasers will have visitors hooked on the first turn. Play award-winning titles like Azul (2018), Kingdomino (2017), Codenames (2016) & more! Just One is a Game of the Year Nominee for 2019. Players work together to provide each other with word clues, being cautious & creative to avoid duplicates. In Azul, collect the colors you need to complete a beautiful mosaic of tiles, take turns picking dominoes and creating a grid kingdom in Kingdomino, and decipher word clues and guess correctly to win in Codenames.
