Fat Brain Toys is stepping into the world of children’s literature.
The company has released Make That Most Magnificent Thing The Game, which is based on the best-selling books The Most Magnificent Thing and The Most Magnificent Idea by author and illustrator Ashley Spires. Kids can step into the shoes of the main characters as they think creatively to come up with their own inventions.
In the game, everyone races to grab what they need to build a device that matches their prompt card. Then, when the timer is up, everyone gets to explain why their invention is the most magnificent. Players then vote to decide who gets which of the seven ribbon awards, including Best Story, Most Inventive, Most Creative Name, Wackiest Contraption, and more. Make That Most Magnificent Thing The Game encourages creativity, critical thinking, communication, storytelling, and STEM learning.

“As an engineer and parent, Ashley’s books were always a go-to in my home,” says Adam Hocherman, Senior Vice President of Product Design and Innovation at Fat Brain. “The game we designed puts children in the creative driver’s seat and lets their imagination run, uninhibited. Listening to kids tell the story behind their inventions is truly what makes playing the game a special experience.”
For kids who are familiar with the books, this game is a chance to become part of the story, while kids who aren’t familiar with the books will experience a fun introduction and a playful way to challenge their creativity.
“I’m so impressed at how Fat Brain has transformed my story into such a fun and imaginative game,” says Spires. “I especially love that the book’s theme of making something out of nothing is the concept and that the game ends by celebrating each player’s innovations. It’s a joy to see this extension of The Most Magnificent Thing come to life.”
The game is just one part of a growing Most Magnificent franchise, which includes a new book entitled The Most Magnificent Maker’s A to Z and a new 3D animated original TV series Millie Magnificent, coming early next year from Nelvana.
Make That Most Magnificent Thing The Game is available now at fatbraintoys.com for $19.95.
