The Street Is Your Game Board

Look down! Waco Forever is a giant, interactive board game painted right onto the pavement of Seventh Street Plaza. It's a fun way to share stories, spark conversations, and get to know your friends and family a little better.

‍Here's how to play
‍Gather at the space marked START and choose someone to go first. Spin one of the spinners on the wall to see how many spaces to move, then answer the question on the space where you land. Take turns following the path and see what you discover about each other along the way!

Made in Waco, for Waco

Seventh Street Plaza celebrates local creativity. Through Creative Waco’s ArtPrenticeship program, young artists worked alongside professional mentors and community partners to turn an ordinary street into a colorful, interactive public space. It’s a lasting example of what happens when we invest in Waco’s next generation of artists.
