Captain Jelly Belly has a Thomas matching game, featuring cards on which are pictures of the trains. He has invented a new game where he takes a subset of the cards and lays them out in a row, then asks fairly complex trivia questions, and you have to select the right train. He might ask something like, “Which train likes to pull Annie and Clarabel?” or “Which little green train likes to take the mail?” or “Which brown train was almost sent to the museum?” (Answers: Thomas, Percy, and Toby, respectively.)

The best part about this game is how he hams it up as a game show host. If you take too long to answer, he starts to hover his finger over the correct train, slowly circling in, both timing you and offering a hint towards the answer. And once you name the right engine, he points to it and gives a loud, “Bing!” signalling the correct response. Then he tells you that you have a done a very good job before going on to the next question.

I have to say, if he ends up being a game show host I might die of pride. It’s like, my ultimate fantasy job. So cool!
