In one implementation, a game apparatus includes a base with a playing surface that has (i) a first end with a first designated area for cups and (ii) a second end; a game piece; a tether that attaches the game piece to the base so as to permit the game piece to move freely within the tether's range; and a first launcher that includes a mechanism to launch the game piece as a projectile, the first launcher being positioned at or around the second end to launch the game piece toward the first designated area for cups, wherein the first designated area for cups and at least a portion of the first launcher are within the tether's range.

A simple but engrossing game based on accurately tossing ordinary cubical dice is presented. The game comes with two board pieces which can be positioned on any flat surface to make a playing surface or optionally a pre-made complete game surface. The game is played in turns with players attempting to maximize their scores by landing their dice on a target scoring zone.

An adapter device that enables smaller drinking cups to fit within larger drinking cups for a beverage-drinking game, said smaller cups holding a different beverage than the larger cups. The device comprises a continuous planar band for covering the top rim of the smaller diameter cup; and a plurality of clips extending downwardly from the continuous planar band. Each device can be removed from the cups and worn as a wristband.

A beer pong tabletop game is an apparatus that connects ping pong balls to a tabletop during a game while maintaining the freedom of movement for the ping pong balls, and consequently the players. The apparatus includes at least one anchoring disk, a first elastic string, a second elastic string, a first ping pong ball, second ping pong ball, and a pull tab. The at least one anchoring disk is secured with the tabletop. The first elastic string and the second elastic string attaches the first ping pong ball and the second ping pong ball with the at least one anchoring disk, respectively. The first ping pong ball and the second ping pong ball are shot into cups positioned across the tabletop. The pull tab facilitates an even length adjustment of the first elastic string and the second elastic string with the at least one anchoring disk.

An electronic tournament gaming tabletop for use with ping pong, beer pong, or other tabletop games. The table includes a means for entering each player's name and keeping the list of players. The player names and scores are displayed on the surface of the table for use in a tournament. The table may implement a rule of winner remains, advancing the list when an end-game signal is entered by the players, or a bracket. When the feature is specified, usage can be automatically tracked and directly communicated with a cloud system for the accurate tracking and sharing of gameplay information including time of use, while personal identifying information such as names will remain on the device, be erased upon power-off, and never be sent over the internet.

An edible adapter device that enables smaller drinking cups to fit within larger drinking cups for a modified beer pong-drinking game. The device comprises a continuous band that is either flexible or rigid but can be worn about a human wrist as a drink counter or consumed when made from candy, a cookie material, pretzel, compressed cereal or a cracker.

A coin slide board game is played on a rectangular gameboard apparatus that has a smooth playing surface, two side rails (one on each long side of the playfield), and a demarcated starting region (scoring area) at each end of the playfield deep enough for at least one coin to occupy the space. The method of play is includes sliding a coin with a flick of the finger from one end of the playfield to the other trying to have it land in the scoring area at the far end. The gameboard apparatus is small, simple, light-weight (for easy transport and storage) and inexpensive to construct. This is a gameplay device where the age, intelligence or physical size/strength of the players has lithe, if any, bearing on success. In addition to the winner having bragging rights, as there is in similar games, in versions of the game the loser has a penalty consequence adding to the entertainment value.

In one example, a system includes a movable object, a detection region including a playing surface for supporting the movable object, and a plurality of cameras spaced apart from one another about the detection region, each of the plurality of cameras configured to capture a field of view of the detection region. The system may further include a controller configured to determine the position of the movable object on the playing surface. The cameras may be configured to track the movement of the movable object on the playing surface. The output from the camera may be selected based upon the movement of the movable object on the playing surface. Sensors may be provided to gather telemetry data of the system so as to provide analysis of the system. The system may be part of or be used with various table sports or table games.

The present disclosure provides a goal secured to a table configured to receive a projectile from a tabletop game with a playing surface. The goal includes a net portion, at least one bracket, and a tray portion. The net portion has a first end and a second end. The net portion is movable between a first position and a second position. The net portion is configured to receive a first projectile in the first position and a second projectile in the second position. The at least one bracket is configured to receive at least one of the first end or the second end of the net portion. The tray portion is configured to store the first projectile and the second projectile.

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.
