Can you believe your Grandad

found my old train set in his basement?

Isn't it a beauty?

- You think it still works?

- I hope so! I can't wait to play with it!

I mean, for to play with it.

With me.

You can be the engineer,

the person who drives the train.

- Oh yeah! What do I do?

- Press this button to start the train,

then turn this to make it go fast or slow.

It works! Oh, look at it!

[laughs]

- How fast can it go?

- Well, this old toy isn't really built for speed.

Just remember to take it slow on the curves.

- Okay.

[laughs]

I used to love playing with this train with my dad.

Ooh, I've got to take a picture to send to him!

Umm, Phone... I've gotta find my phone.

- Let's get this train moving.

Whoa! It can really move!

[gasps]

Your Grandad is going to love to see... What?

- I'm sorry, Dad!

I forgot to slow it down for the curves!

- It's ok. The wheels just came off.

But I think I can fix it.

- Really? - Definitely.

It might take a while.

Maybe you can play something else while you wait.

- Okay. Sorry I'm not the best train engineer.

- You'll get it. It just takes some practice.

- And I know just how I can get some practice...

[grunting]

Invite Cora and Dev.

- Hey Rae!

- Hi! What's going on?

- Do you want to play Skillsville?

- Only all the time! - Let's do this!

- Launch Skillsville!

- Racer Rae!

- Woo!

- Devosaurus!

- Roar!

- ParCora!

Welcome to--

- Skillsville!

[laughs]

Beat you to it, Game Voice!

So, what job are we playing today?

- I want to be a Train Engineer.

- Sounds fun. - Okay!

- Great idea! Let's do it! Follow me!

Check it out,

the Beeples want to ride this train

to the other side of Skillsville.

But they need a Train Engineer

with the skills to drive it.

- Drive a train that runs on a roller coaster track?

Yes, please!

- I guess this is for you.

- An engineer cap, all right!

Let's get this train started!

- Yeah! - Woo woo!

- All aboard!

- Train Engineer Challenge!

Drive the Beeples to Marshmallow Mountain Station.

- Where's that?

- Way across town. See?

- I'll get the Beeples there.

Oh. Umm...

How do I start this train?

[musical sequence]

Ooh! Pretty light show!

- It's a game hint!

Look, the pattern keeps repeating.

- And it makes a little song!

♪ Blue, blue, pink, green, green ♪

- I think you're supposed to press those buttons

in that order.

- Let's try.

♪ Blue, blue, pink, green, green ♪

- It works! - Hooray!

[all cheer]

- Next stop, Marshmallow Mountain Station!

Enjoy the ride!

[cheering]

Now this train was built for speed!

Oops. You just passed Marshmallow Mountain Station.

That's too bad.

Oops! I forgot to stop the train!

Uhh, wait, how I stop?

- Oh, well There's got to be a brake around here somewhere!

Well, I found the brake.

- But you stopped the train

halfway through the loop-de-loop.

[all scream]

[concerned murmuring]

- Rae! You've gotta move the train!

- Um...

I can't remember the order of the buttons to push!

- Oh no. What do we do?

- I don't know! I need to pause!

I am having much luck being a train engineer today.

- But being upside down is kinda fun. Am I right?

[laughs]

- How am I going to remember the pattern

to make the train move?

- Every gamer needs a strategy.

Maybe there's one that can help you remember.

- Yeah. You sang a song before. A song about the buttons.

- Right.

Maybe singing that song will help me remember!

It went...

Blue, pink...

Aw, No.

♪ Blue, blue, pink, green, green ♪

That's it! I remember! Unpause!

- Ahh!

[murmuring]

- Don't worry, I know what to do now!

♪ Blue, blue, pink, green, green ♪

[all cheer]

- Way to go, Rae!

- We made it!

- Oh hot dog!

You got the Beeples to the train station!

- Epic! - Yes!

- Wrong train station. You're back where you started.

- Aww!

We're right back where we started?

- Yeah. That's what I said.

[murmuring]

- Don't worry.

In this game we can keep trying till we win.

- Right. I'll try again to take them to Marshmallow Mountain.

- Something's up with that Mountain.

Dev, we'd better check it out.

- Sure. Let's go.

- All right, I'm ready.

Train Engineer Challenge. Do-over!

Take the Beeples to Marshmallow Mountain Station!

It's the one near the mountain with the marshmallows.

- Yeah, I know.

Now that I remember which buttons to push,

it'll be no problem.

- Okay, Train Engineer,

time to switch things up!

- Problem! The buttons are in different places now!

Which ones do I press?

- Ah right umm, well,

let's try what you did before.

What was it?

Green, green, pink, blue, blue.

Whoa!

- That must be the pattern to go backwards!

- It looks like those marshmallows

might come down any minute.

- Or this minute!

- Stop those marshmallows!

[grunting efforts]

There's too many.

- You just passed Marshmallow Mountain Station. Again.

- Ohh, what do we do?

- Pull on the brake! - Oh yeah.

Maybe I should let the train engineer

press all the buttons from now on.

- Yeah. I just have to remember the pattern

to make the train go forward.

I'll use my singing strategy again.

- But the buttons are in different places.

Yeah, but I bet the pattern is still the same!

Let's see, it went...

♪ Blue, blue, pink, green, green ♪

- Yes! Singing helped me remember!

[cheerful murmuring]

Now I can get these Beeples to Marshmallow Mountain Station.

- Those marshmallows are totally blocking the track!

- Cora, look!

The train is heading back this way!

- We've got to warn them! Come on!

- Stop! Stop the train!

There are marshmallows on the track!

Wait. No! Stop!

- Aww, look. They're waving.

Hi Dev, Hi Cora!

- I think they're trying to tell us something...

Stop the train!

- Huh?

- Whew!

- Oh no! They're gonna fall on the train!

- That's going to make a sticky mess.

- Back it up! - Go backwards!

- I've got to get us out of here!

- How did I make it go backwards?

- It made a song.

♪ Green, green, pink, blue, blue ♪

I remembered!

- She did it! - Yes!

- You have arrived at Marshmallow Mountain Station!

Finally.

Job complete!

[all cheer] -

Nice driving! - Way to go, Rae!

- Wahoo! Best. Train ride. Ever!

- Wildest train ride ever!

- True. I can't wait to do it again!

- See you later, Scout! - Bye.

- Later, gamers!

- Bye Cora, bye Dev.

- Bye Rae. - See ya next time.

- All right, I fixed the wheel and the axle.

I think this engine is ready to roll!

- Oh good!

I'd like to try being the engineer again,

if that's okay.

- Of course! This train is for you!

And for me, with you.

Just remember, this old train isn't built for speed...

- Don't worry, I know a way to help me remember,

I'll just sing a song!

Take it slow on the curves, ya know.

- I like it!

- Take it slow on the curves, ya know.

♪ Take it slow on the curves, ya know ♪

♪ Take it slow on the curves, ya know ♪

[laughs]

- Selfie for Grandad!

[knock on door]

- Who is it? - It's us, Dev!

- We're ready to play! - Come on in!

- All done with homework?

- Yep. I just finished the project for art class.

- Oh! It's um...

- It's a T-rex!

- Right! - I can see that.

- I wasn't sure how to do this,

and it didn't come out the way I wanted.

The arms are all wrong, the tail's too small.

Any paleontologist could tell you that.

- What is that again?

- Paleontologist.

You know, someone who studies actual dinosaur bones.

It's only the coolest job in the world!

- Maybe you could see what it's like to be a paleontologist

in Skillsville.

- Why have I never thought of that before?

- Let's play! - Okay.

- Let's do it!

- Launch Skillsville!

Dev-o-Saurus!

- Roar!

- ParCora!

[cheerful grunts]

- Racer Rae!

- Woo!

- Welcome to Skillsville!

- Hello!

Time to play!

- So, what job do you want to-- - Paleontologist!

- Okay, somebody's excited.

It's a great idea. Let's do it!

To the telepuddle.

- Where are we?

- This must be a dig site,

where paleontologists dig for dinosaur bones!

- So there's dinosaur bones buried under the dirt?

- Mmm hmm, and the Beeples need help finding them.

Think you've got the skills to get the job done?

- Are you kidding?

I've been preparing for this all my life!

- Then you're gonna need this...

pointy spoon?

- It's called a trowel, and it's for digging.

- And we can use these brushes.

- To paint the bones?

- To dust them off.

- Yeah. I totally knew that.

Paleontologist Challenge,

find the dinosaur bones!

- Time to dig!

All right everybody,

let's...

dig, dig, dig.

[murmuring]

- Dig, dig, dig.

- Dig, dig, dig.

- I found something!

- Is it a dinosaur bone?

- It's...

Aw, an old shoe.

Sorry.

- That's okay, we'll just keep trying.

- Okay everyone,

dig, dig, dig.

[murmuring]

- Dig, dig, dig.

- Dig, dig, dig.

- Dig, dig, dig. - Dig, dig, dig.

[murmuring]

- You found a bone?

Another shoe?

- Same shoe!

- We're digging in the same places?

[murmuring]

- No, you were supposed to dig over there.

[murmuring]

- I am trying! I mean look at these paws.

- Ugh! I thought I'd be a paleontologist,

but I can't even find any dinosaur bones!

I don't know what to do.

I need to pause!

How can I make sure we don't keep digging in the same spots?

- I think you need to get organized about this.

- How do I do that?

- I like to draw pictures of things I have to do.

That helps me get organized.

- Drawing sounds like a good strategy.

- Yes! And I know just what to draw!

Unpause!

- I've been digging for an hour. Wait. What?

- I'm gonna draw lines going this way...

and lines going this way.

- You're drawing tic tac toe?

- I'm drawing a grid.

Paleontologists use grids to help them keep track

of where they're digging.

- That's a good way to get organized!

- Let's do this!

We'll each dig in one square at a time.

And when we're done with a square, I'll draw a check,

so we don't dig in the same spot again.

- Love it! - Back to digging!

- Dig, dig, dig. - Dig, dig, dig.

- Well, no bones in my square.

- Me neither. - Same here.

- Now we know not to dig here again.

On to the next row!

- Okay, everyone. Hott-doggity, let's dig.

- Dig, dig, dig.

[murmuring]

- I've got something!

I'll dig it out carefully.

- Let's hope it's not another shoe.

- It's a dinosaur bone!

I can't believe I found a dinosaur bone!

- Oh. Bone!

- Sorry Scout! Not for you.

- Aww. Come on. Throw me a bone, Dev!

- What is it with dogs and bones?

- Yeah, we need that for the game!

- Can you dust it off carefully? - Sure.

Done!

- Yes! The first bone!

And there's still more to find!

- Don't forget to draw checks,

so we don't dig in the same spots again.

- Right. Gotta stay organized.

Check, check, check, check, check, and check!

Okay, let's see what else we can dig up!

- Dig, dig, dig.

- Dig, dig, dig.

[murmuring]

Two more bones? This is amazing!

- Double the deliciousness.

- Brushing off the dust. - Nice and clean.

- Only one more bone to find, that super big one!

- And we know it's not in these squares.

On to the next row!

- Dig, dig, dig. - Dig, dig, dig.

- I found something! Oh boy!

If it's a bone, it's mine!

- Scout, no! Be careful with the bone.

- This is the weirdest tasting bone I've ever had.

- That's because it's a fork.

- Not a bone.

- But I think I've hit something!

- Me too. I think we're hitting the same thing.

- It must be that big bone!

[grunting effort]

- Whoa! Look at the size of that!

- Can you dust it off, Dev?

Well done! You must really dig this job!

[all laugh]

[all cheer]

- This is so much fun!

I wonder what's next...

Paleontologist Challenge, Level two,

build a dinosaur!

Put the bones in the right places.

- We get to build a dinosaur? This gets better and better!

- What kind of dinosaur is that?

- I recognize the crest on its head.

It's a Parasaurolophus!

- A parasauro-what-us?

- It's a type of Hadrosaurid and it's a plant-eating dinosaur

and it's one of the loudest dinosaurs ever!

Roar! - Kinda like the Devosaurus!

[laughs]

- Okay, so we have to put the bones we found

into the right spots on the dinosaur.

Like a puzzle.

- I do love a good puzzle.

- Oh yes, puzzles. They're so... puzzling.

- Let's see.

Maybe this bone goes...

here.

- Wrong place. You get two more tries.

- Only two more?

- This is harder than it looks.

- A lot of these bones look alike.

Maybe this bone goes here?

- Nope. You get one more try.

- We need a way to figure out where these bones go

before we put them in place.

- I need to get organized.

I can use the strategy I used before, I'll draw!

- Good thinking.

- I'll draw over this

to help me figure out where the bones should go!

Let's see...

That first bone is a different shape than the others

and I see some teeth, so it must be a jawbone.

It would go right here.

- That looks about right.

- The next bone, it's really thin...

So maybe it's a foot bone?

Nope, that doesn't fit.

- Maybe it goes in the tail?

- Let's try it.

- That works! - Well, wag my own tail.

Those last two bones look a lot alike.

The shorter one could go... here...

- Yes.

- And this one is so long.

It's gotta be the other leg bone!

Looks pretty good, am I right?

Yeah! And thanks to your drawing,

now we know where to put all the bones.

- You've got some serious organizing skills, Dev.

- Thanks. Now let's build this dinosaur!

- I'll start with the jawbone.

This one goes here.

- My turn. Let's see.

The tail bone goes... right here!

- Okay.

And this one delicious looking beauty goes...

here!

Just one bone left.

The biggest of them all!

A leg bone!

[straining]

We did it.

- Dino-might!

Paleontologist Challenge complete!

- Yes! - Epic!

- High tail!

- This was so much fun!

I can't wait to play it again!

- See ya next time, Scout! - Bye!

- Later gamers!

- Good game, everyone.

- Being a paleontologist was amazing!

- You're a natural.

- Yeah, you know so much about dinosaurs

and what they look like.

- Which makes me think...

I bet I can do a job on this T-Rex, if I get organized.

- Organized how?

- I'll start by drawing the dinosaur first,

so I'll know exactly how to make it.

- Great idea! - Yeah!

- Oops.

I guess the glue wasn't exactly dry yet.

[all laugh]
