An attraction system includes a first level, a second level positioned vertically above or below the first level, and one or more controllers configured to present a game environment to one or more riders in a ride vehicle as the ride vehicle travels along a path on the first level. The attraction system also includes a lift configured to move the ride vehicle vertically from the first level to the second level based at least in part on a performance of the one or more riders in the game environment.

A device is provided for receiving projectiles and creating a pattern. The device includes a plurality of hoops arranged in parallel and configured to receive the projectiles. A two-dimensional grid could be providedacross a plurality of channels of the device, or on a display of the devicein order to display the projectiles received by the plurality of hoops. In some examples, projectiles may be received by a plurality of channels, and the pattern is created within the channels and is viewable through apertures across the channels. In other examples, sensors may be used to determine when a projectile has passed through one of the hoops, and indicators may be displayed in corresponding vertical columns of a two-dimensional grid on a display.

Apparatus and methods for removing leakage from a qubit. In one aspect, an apparatus includes one or more qubits, wherein each qubit facilitates occupation of at least one of a plurality of qubit levels, the qubit levels including two computational levels and one or more non-computational levels that are each higher than the computational levels, wherein the qubit facilitates transitions between qubit levels associated with a corresponding transition frequency; a cavity, wherein the cavity defines a cavity frequency; one or more couplers coupling each qubit to the cavity; one or more couplers coupling the cavity to an environment external to the one or more qubits and the cavity; a frequency controller that controls the frequency of each qubit such that, for each qubit, the frequency of the qubit is adjusted relative to the cavity frequency such that a population of a non-computational level is transferred to the cavity.

A toss game has a pair of targets placed on a surface at a predetermined distance from one another and a plurality of game pieces that are tossed at the targets by a player. Each of the targets is in the form of a box with front and rear panels, an open top, an open bottom, and two open sides. The panels are connected by at least two rods. The panels are spaced from one another to define a target area between the panels and the rods. The plurality of game pieces are tossed at the targets by a player so the game pieces may land in one of the target area, against one of the rods, and outside the target area to indicate different points the player will receive during the toss of one of the game pieces. A target for a toss game has a front panel, a rear panel, and at least two rods extending between the front and rear panels so the panels are spaced to define an open top, an open bottom, and two open sides and to define a target area between the panels and rods for receiving at least one game piece.

A projectile launching apparatus comprising a frame, a target, and a launcher. The frame comprises a base portion and an upper portion. The target comprises a rim and a projectile receiver. The launcher comprises a projectile saddle and a plurality of resilient cords. The projectile saddle comprises a front surface and a rear surface. The projectile launching apparatus further comprises a means for attaching the plurality of resilient cords to the upper portion and a means for attaching the plurality of resilient cords to the projectile saddle. The front surface is configured to receive a projectile. The projectile receiver is attached to the rim. The rim is attached to the upper portion.

A projectile target assembly for use in a targeted projectile launching game includes an outer ring and an inner ring, which can be positioned on a substantially horizontal surface with the inner ring within the outer ring. A first target is defined by and positioned between the outer ring and the inner ring. A second target is defined and outlined by the inner ring. A post is positionable in a substantially vertical configuration within the inner ring. A first receptacle, which is attached to the post proximate to its upper end, has an upper facet that is open to define a third target. A second receptacle, which is attached to and positioned in the first receptacle, has an upper face that is open to define a fourth target. Projectiles are launched at the first, second, third, and fourth targets as part of a targeted projectile launching game.

The present invention provides a gaining device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaining device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaining device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaining device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaining device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.

A throwing game includes a panel assembly having a support frame and a first panel and a second panel supported by the support frame. The first panel has an aperture through a major surface. The first panel can be configured to be supported by the support frame in two positions, a first position wherein the first panel extends from the support frame forming a platform with a free end, and a second position wherein the first panel is parallel to the second panel. In addition or in the alternative, the second panel can be configured to be supported by the support frame in two positions, wherein in one position the second panel is adjacent the first panel and another position wherein the second panel is further from the first panel than when in said one position. The throwing game further includes a panel assembly support connected to the panel assembly to support at least one end of the panel assembly off a ground surface.
