Provided is a puzzle kit and related method comprising a plurality of puzzle pieces configured for assembly to form a first image, the first image comprising a revealable region, the revealable region configured to reveal a second image when modified, the second image comprising an indicia, and an information source configured to provide information or instruction corresponding to the indicia revealed in the second image. Also provided is a puzzle kit and related method comprising a plurality of puzzle pieces configured for assembly to form a first image, the first image comprising a revealable region, the revealable region configured to reveal a second image when modified, an indicator on the revealable region, and an information source configured to provide information or instruction corresponding to the indicator found on the revealable region.

A game (2) comprising: a game board (11) comprising a series of ridges, each of the ridges (10) comprising a first face (32) and a second face (33), wherein the second face (33) of each ridge (10) faces toward a first player at one side (30b) of the game board (11) and the first face (32) of each ridge (10) faces toward a second player sitting opposite the first player at an opposite side (30a) of the game board (11); a playing piece (13) comprising a base (44) which corresponds to the faces (32, 33) of the ridges (10); and a die (12) comprising four or more faces (42), each face (42) indicating a numeric value (43), wherein at least one of the numeric values (43) is indicated on at least two of the faces (42).

A multiform combination game apparatus disclosed by the present invention includes at least one base and at least one connecting plate. After a connecting rod provided on each of the four corner outer sides of the connecting plates is caused to pass through a respective connecting hole in the base, locking members are used to fixedly lock and firmly position the connecting plates. Therefore, combinatorial changes in combining the abovementioned members enable assembling a game apparatus of diverse variety.

A kit of parts for playing a game is described. The parts include a background part, or a base, and components representing the visual design elements of flags of various nations. The game involves creating an original flag by attaching one or more of the components representing the visual design elements of flags to the background. Rules for playing the game are described. The game can be played by individuals, or in groups.

A pegboard training method, includes: receiving a game execution request from a user by a pegboard training device; providing the user with a game for which the execution request has been received by the pegboard training device; recognizing the user's insertion of a peg for the game by the pegboard training device; and guiding the user to an evaluation of a game result based on the insertion of the peg recognized by the pegboard training device after the game is over. The pegboard training device is configured to provide the user with training by using insertion pegs onto a board including a plurality of holes, and the game is executed by at least one of inserting a peg into at least one hole presented by the pegboard training device on the pegboard, inserting a peg by the user into a hole, which has not been presented by the pegboard training device, on the pegboard at the user's discretion, and removing a peg inserted in a hole by the user after the pegboard training device guides the user to remove the peg.

According to an embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of bets, in which each bet defines a respective amounted wagered, a respective area, and a respective weather-related event. Data that represents the plurality of bets is displayed. An outcome of a weather-related event is determined and at least one winner is determined based on the bets and the outcome.

One embodiment of a portable rotatable spinner to be used in combination with a pencil and an educational curriculum worksheet, where said worksheet incorporates a spinner-type game board image, and where said game board is used by students to generate random results or data.

The spinner has an arrow-shaped body. Located midpoint of the body is an integrally-formed, vertically-oriented cylinder. Said cylinder extends symmetrically from the upper and lower surfaces of the body. Through said cylinder is a hole or aperture, said aperture having an internal diameter slightly larger than the diameter of a pencil.

In use, the spinner is placed on top of a worksheet and aligned over the game board. A pencil is inserted through the spinner. One hand holds the pencil vertically while the other hand flicks the spinner. The spinner rotates freely about the pencil until coming to rest.

A system, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method to modify a game based on playing style is provided. Player-specific playing style information that indicates one or more attributes of a playing style of a player is accessed. The playing style information is based on gameplay behavior of the player. Game parameters that defines at least some aspects of a game level forming part of the game is accessed. In an automated operation one or more of the game parameters are modified, thereby a difficulty of the game level for the player based on the one or more playing style attributes is modified. The modified game parameters are caused to be presented on a client device associated with the player of the game level.
