SnapKu Connections: Creativity Meets Chemistry
This one-of-a-kind evening blends the fun, laughter, and playful energy of SnapKu with the creativity, collaboration, and inspiration that made our Side Hustles event so special.
It’s designed for anyone navigating what’s next — including current and former federal workers affected by recent RIFs — and all professionals looking to rediscover their spark.
- SnapKu is a fast-paced, high-energy word game that riffs off the spirit of haiku. It’s playful, accessible, and a perfect conversation-starter.
- The National Capital Trolley Museum offers a magical, atmospheric backdrop: vintage trolley cars and exhibits that bring DMV's streetcar history to life. During this event, the stationary trolleys become cozy, creative “game pods” for SnapKu rounds and inspired conversations.
Why This Event Is Special
- Combines playful wordplay, connection, and co-creation—a unique, memorable combination.
- The historic trolley cars provide a one-of-a-kind backdrop for connection.
- Music, food, and nostalgia make it easy to relax, laugh, and mingle.
- Prizes and photo time add excitement and create lasting memories.
- By keeping the format simple, you’ll have space to enjoy both structured play and spontaneous conversation.
Tickets are $25 ($20 for current and former federal workers) and limited to ~50 guests.
