The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Jet Lag: The Game is an American travel competition video series by Wendover Productions published on Nebula and YouTube. Created by and starring Sam Denby, Adam Chase, and Ben Doyle, and launched in May 2022, each season features a contest that sends players to achieve a geographical objective in some part of the world, some of which are inspired by playground and board games. Some seasons also feature other content creators as guest competitors, such as Brian McManus, Toby Hendy, Michelle Khare, and Tom Scott. During seasons, episodes are published weekly on Nebula, and a week later on YouTube. As of June 2026, Wendover has produced eighteen seasons of the series, and the channel on YouTube has amassed over 1 million subscribers. The Jet Lag crew also produces a companion podcast and a set of game materials to enable viewers to play one of the games themselves. The show was nominated for a Streamy Award in 2023, and received a popular-vote Webby Award in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
