Shell Game is a Unicorn NPC found in Cantermore directly northwest of the train station, well-hidden behind a few buildings. His name and dialogue suggests that he's connected with the other "shady" ponies in the city.

Dialogue

• "Yeah? Whaddayou after?"
• "Don't listen to Jimmy the Squealer, he's a good fer nothing rat."
• "Yeah yeah."
• "Call me Shell."
• "You're in our part ah Cantermore, pony, you know that right?"
• "Stick around here too long, and you'll have the guards looking at you like they look at us."

Trivia

• He references "Jimmy the Squealer," although the character with that name was renamed to Stool Pigeon prior to the Open Access Release.
• A "shell game" either refers to the literal game of thimblerig, a game commonly used to scam money from people on the street, or the fraudulent act of substituting something of small value for a valuable item.
