Visit Planet Word on the first Wednesday of each month for after-hours wordplay from 5 to 8 p.m. All three floors of the museum will stay open late, including the interactive “Unlock the Music” karaoke gallery and the laugh-out-loud “Joking Around” humor gallery. It’s the ultimate happy hour and game night combo: explore the museum, test your skills with word-based puzzles and games, and browse the Present Perfect gift shop for a little retail therapy.
Enjoy complimentary treats, plus beer, wine, and soda for purchase from Immigrant Food. Pay what you can: $5–$25. Your ticket allows us to continue offering more great programs like Wordplay Wednesday to a wider audience.
Planet Word members receive free admission for two to Wordplay Wednesday events. Not a member yet? Join today!

Lexicon Lane: A Word-Sleuthing Adventure (ADD ON)
Put your puzzle-solving skills to the test in Lexicon Lane, an immersive puzzle experience on the museum’s third floor. Decipher clues hidden among charming shops and landmarks to solve the mystery before time runs out!
