Field games comprise a playing field having a defined area at only one end of the playing field, and a remaining area. The defined area is configured to accommodate a player having possession of a ball therein, and may be configured to prevent entry from one or more direction, or may be configured to permit access from all sides. The field game may be played by two teams of players, initially positioned at different locations of the playing field, where one team has the objective of putting one or more of its players in the defined area with possession of one or more balls and thereby scoring, and where the other team has the objective of trying to prevent the opposite team from its objective of scoring. Teams switch objectives after the team in possession scores with its balls and/or loses possession of its balls, and play is quickly resumed.

A method of game playing known as Forehand Strike™ according to the present invention is a game being played on a court having a pair of service areas on each side of a net using a slow bouncing ball and a hand covering and striking the slow bouncing ball with a forehand shot. The method includes bouncing the slow bouncing ball one time and serving a shot diagonally over the net into an opposite service area of player 2 using a palm of a first user's hand, striking a return shot over the net and into either one of the pair of service areas of the first player, each player continuing to return a subsequent shot across the net and into one of the two service areas of an opposing player after the slow bouncing ball has bounced only once until one of the subsequent shots lands outside both of the service areas of the opposing player, and awarding a point to the player making a last valid shot into one of the service areas of the opposing player. Additionally, each player continues to return a subsequent shot across the net and into one of the two service areas of an opposing player after the slow bouncing ball has bounced only once until one of the subsequent shots lands within one of the service areas of the opposing player and bounces a second time before a next return shot is made and the point is awarded to the player making a last valid shot into one of the service areas of the opposing player.

A container-based game and a method of making the same is provided. The game includes a container with a lid, wherein the lid has a hole. A net protrudes beyond the periphery of the lid. The objective of the game is bouncing an object off the lid, thereby missing the hole, so that the object is caught in the net. A method of making the present invention includes the step of forming a hole in a lid to a fishing bucket, then attaching, by way of an attachment point, a fishing net to a periphery of the opening or lid of the fishing bucket so that the fishing net extends away from the hole in the lid.

An amusement system features an interactive floor with an array of panels laid out in one or more grids to collectively define an interactive floor surface, an illumination system operable to individually illuminate each panel, and a sensing system operable to detect presence of any participant atop any panel. A base frame of the interactive floor is composed of a plurality of base modules seated on a subfloor, and supporting a respective panel for one or more cells of the interactive floor. The base modules are not directly fastened together, and instead are only intercoupled by perimeter seals applied over peripheral regions of the panels of neighbouring modules. Separation of the modules is constrained by surrounding walls of a room fully occupied by the interactive floor. In gameplay, some panels are distinctively illuminated as hazards to be avoided by participants, subject to penalty.

A throwing game including an elongated board with targets at both ends. The targets can be formed from cylinders and/or funnels. Points are scored based on the target sizes, with more points being awarded for tossing cards into the smaller or more difficult targets. The board can be collapsible and stored in a bag or box for portability. All of the targets, deck of cards, and other accessories can be stored within the same bag or box. Stands may be used to hold the board away from the ground. In one embodiment, modifiers on the cards can change the value of a scored point.

Disclosed is an interactive projectile game system that collects projectiles launched by a user toward a target and that returns the launched projectiles to the user. The system includes an actuator, a launcher assembly, a projectile, one or more targets, and a projectile collection system proximal to the targets. A user selects the actuator to activate the launcher assembly to propel the projectile to the user. The user receives or retrieves the projectile and propels the projectile toward the targets in an effort to score points by striking a target. The projectile collection system receives the projectile after being launched by the user, and the projectile collection system transfers the projectile back to the launcher assembly.

A recreational game is disclosed, including at least one flying disc, wherein a player on each of a set of teams throws the flying disc towards two sets of goal rings positioned on opposing sides of one another. The player on each set of teams attempts to throw the flying disc through one of the two sets of rings to obtain a point value. At least one ball is utilized as a defensive element to prevent the flying disc from travelling through one of the rings.
