The present disclosure provides an apparatus for spinning top toy games. The apparatus includes a playing path for playing the spinning top toy game. The playing path is either a virtual playing path customized using one or more augmented reality (AR) elements rendered by an application of a user device or a physical playing path configured on a gaming board or a suitable surface using at least one pre-prepared section. A spinning top used a gaming component for playing the spinning top toy game and configured to achieve a rotational motion around a central axis thereof. A blower device configured to drive air through an air outlet port from an air inlet port. A user operates the blower device for driving air to the spinning top thereby resulting in a rotational of the spinning top and manoeuvres the spinning top along the playing path.

The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a randomizer that includes a starter assembly and a collector. The starter assembly provides participants in a race with a fair start and also provides spectators with a beneficial view of the not only the start of the race, but in some cases, the race itself, including the finish.

Disclosed is the game apparatus using a train device constituted by cars of different sizes. The play ball lowered along the lane assembly may enter any one of the cars. Depending on the car into which the play ball enters, a predetermined reward may be provided to the player. The play ball entering the car deviates through the opening and rises through the elevating device. The raised play ball may be waited to descend again through the lane assembly.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to an educational and entertaining game that includes a playing board and a plurality of game tokens. The game board includes a track configured as an internal channel for receiving a plurality of tokens. The board is configured such that the track includes a first height that gradually lowers to a second height. The difference in height allows the tokens to travel along the track in a single row. Each token includes an indicator that can be one or more letters, numbers, words, or symbols. The tokens can be removed from the track to spell words with the remaining tokens configured on the track. As a token is removed, the remaining tokens will travel towards the lower end of the board due to the sloped configuration of the track. In this way, the ordering of the tokens is preserved.

Described herein are various mobile entertainment systems. A system can include a housing defining an inner volume and a plurality of externally facing apertures; and a plurality of tracks that each traverse a portion of the inner volume. A track may connect an externally facing aperture to a second externally facing aperture. An externally facing aperture receives as an input or provides as an output an object. The object may travel along a track from an externally facing aperture to a second externally facing aperture. The system can further include electronics for generating one or more visual or auditory effects; one or more sensors coupled to the housing, an object, or a prop; and/or one or more props, each connected to a drive motor. A microcontroller of the system activates the electronics, sensors, and/or drive motors based on a library of motion profiles or effect profiles and/or received sensor data.

The present invention provides for a plurality of interconnectable modular members that may create a pathway system with multiple entrances into the upper portion of each member and at least one exit from the lower portion of each member, thereby providing for a variety of convergence and divergence possibilities. The pathway system is suitable for receiving and transporting marbles and other spherical objects from one member to another. The modular members may be interlinked via male/female connectors to create a variety of configurations.

An automated runway loop including a u-shaped runway, wherein the runway is configured to support an aerial projectile with the runway having a discharging end and a receiving end. The runway has a support attached to the runway and to a motor capable of extending and retracting the runway along an axis. At least one sensor is positioned along the runway and configured to provide at least one output indicative of at least one parameter of the aerial projectile. A computer is connected to the sensors and the motor, the computer controlling energization of the motor based at least in part on an indicated parameter of the aerial projectile, where the energization of the motor causes the aerial projectile to be discharged from one end of the runway and to be received at the other end of the runway.

A method of operating a marble run includes providing first input through a user interface to a wireless device. The method further includes using the wireless device to transmit a first wireless control signal to a wireless receiver disposed on a marble run responsive at least in part to receiving the first input. The marble run includes a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules, each module configured to retain a marble and guide the travel of the marble through the module on at least a first surface. The plurality of marble run modules includes at least a first controllable module. The method further includes using the first controllable module to alter a travel path of a marble through the first controllable module responsive to the wireless receiver receiving the first wireless control signal.

A marble run track connection arrangement for use with a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run elements includes a marble track section, a tube, and a connector. The marble track section has first and second connecting posts coupled to or forming a portion of a marble travel path of the marble track section. The tube includes a connecting portion configured to directly physically connect to another tube. The connecting portion passes a marble from or to the other tube. The tube also has a side opening configured to receive a marble therethrough into or out of an interior of the first tube. The tube also includes a track connector extending outward from the tube. The connector is configured to receive the first and second connecting posts and to couple to the track connector such that a path is defined between the marble travel path and the interior of the tube.

A system of toy building block ball run components each having an integrally formed, recessed surface disposed in a portion thereof which defines a flat-bottomed or U-shaped passageway or ball run channel between sides of the block. Each component is made using a specific set of relationships in the dimensions of the building block and the ball run channels formed therein to allow broad combination of many components with one another and with other building blocks during creative play.
