Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia
Advertisement

Since the website's launch in 1996, the official Thomas & Friends website was loaded with games.

Most of the older games were ran by Adobe Flash Player, which made them hard to play due to the deprecation of Flash Player at the end of 2020. However, the swf files for most of the games were saved in the Internet Archive and can be played using the right tools and modifications for Flash Player, though not all games were saved. The ​newer games use JavaScript and HTML5.

Note: Some of the games may be missing or may not be in the correct order.
