Our carefully cultivated atmosphere will have you escaping the harsh Wisconsin weather.

Soft music with nature sounds to transport you into a reality all your own.

It's a Playful Thing
Do you find your home isn't the best place to work on your hobbies anymore? Is it too small, crowded, messy, or distracting?
The Thing offers the perfect space to play games with friends or even just work on a puzzle or some artwork in solitude.

Questions and Answers
Can I bring my own activities from home to play or work on?
Of course! Please feel free to bring your own games, puzzles, art supplies, and other hobby items.
But please do not bring power tools, sewing machines, or anything that would be distracting, noisy, or otherwise hazardous to the experience of the other guests.
Is the rental space per table, or per customer?
The rate is based on the table by the hour. That means the more friends you bring to share your table the better the value!
Is alcohol allowed on premises?
We're sorry but there will be absolutely no alcohol allowed on premises. Please support our local bars as an alternative. Besides, the effort of making great memories and art is pointless if you can’t remember them.
How old do you have to be to rent a table?
Those 12 years old and up are welcome to visit unsupervised as long as they are well behaved. Any guests under 11 must be chaperoned by at least one adult.
Are there Party Packages Available?
Yes! We love helping you celebrate! We can help you come up with the perfect plan for yours. Whether you want to rent out the entire space, or just one or two tables during our regular business hours, we have something to fit your needs.
