Hi all-
It's actually a regular-size Operation Game in the Toys: the Inside
Story exhibition. The small parts are gone of course, the graphic has
been moved off to the side, and the metal plate is exposed so you can
see how it works. It's just as fun-- you get to make the light and
buzzer go off!
You can see a photo of it here (#6a--double click on the photo and a
hi-res image will open up in a new window):

It's held up really well-- I end up replacing one every year or two!
The challenge is to find the classic game-- there are all kinds of
variations (Silly, SpongeBob Square Pants, etc.) available in local
stores, but not the classic game so I purchase them online. Needless
to say, I have a great collection of spare parts for this wonderful
exhibition including mini Hokey-Pokey Elmos, Jack in the Boxes, gears,
hungry hippos, ...:-)
