The present invention relates generally to games and, more particularly, to a table-top soccer board game using bottle caps and goalie playing pieces that each include a bottle opener. Methods of gameplay are also provided, along with a kit comprising the table-top soccer board game packaged along with instructions that provide the gameplay rules.

A bottle puzzle used as a training or learning tool for children and adults with cognitive disabilities has puzzle pieces with uniquely shaped concave and convex walls, with only one wall in one puzzle piece matching another wall in a different puzzle piece. Each puzzle piece is a fully contained compartment capable of holding and dispensing beverages. When the puzzle pieces are put together, they form a normal bottle that can be filled with beverages.

Provided is a protective playmat comprising a first layer of natural rubber foam or neoprene foam or both, the first layer having a first layer top surface and a non-slip first layer bottom surface opposite said first layer top surface; a second layer comprising a second layer top surface and a second layer bottom surface opposite said second layer top surface, the second layer bottom surface being laminated to the first layer top surface, the second layer including a textured polyester cloth blend of between 150gsm and 250gsm; and a third layer comprising a third layer top surface and a third layer bottom surface opposite said third layer top surface, the third layer bottom surface being laminated to the second layer top surface, the third layer including an electrochemical aluminum foil on PET film forming silver dots or holographic dots or both.

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.

Structures made from boxes, items made from boxes, play systems using such structures and/or items, play methods employing such structures and systems and/or items; and designs for such structures and items, methods for game playing, and to designs for such boxes. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b).

A tabletop drinking game apparatus includes a base, a tower, a plurality of dispensing units, a reservoir, a microcontroller, and a power source. The tower is concentrically attached to the base as the reservoir is concentrically connected to the tower, opposite of the base. Each user is able to enter their input command through a pair of control buttons of the base. The plurality of dispensing units is radially mounted around the tower and is in fluid communication with the reservoir so that the stored beverage can be dispensed according to the outcomes of the game. The power source is electrically connected to control buttons, the plurality of dispensing units, and the microcontroller to initiate the game play. The microcontroller is electronically connected to the plurality of dispensing units as the microcontroller determines the outcome of the game play.

A vaporization device that includes an entertainment mode or modes including one or more game modes. The vaporization device may enhance the user experience. The entertainment mode may be engaged by a sequence of predetermined manipulations of the vaporization device. The entertainment mode may include one or more interactive games using the device, and/or one or more display modes. The interactive games may include a pattern-following game, a memory game, a triggered output game, or a chance game. The entertainment mode may also include games that may be played by one or more persons. The entertainment mode may modify the operation (e.g., heater control, appearance, user interface, etc.) of the device while still permitting the vaporization of vaporizable material.

The present disclosure is directed to inventive methods, systems and apparatus for lighting control. For example, light output of a lighting system (100) that illuminates a play area (101) may be altered, e.g., by a lighting system controller (102, 302), based on characteristics of toys (104) one or more children is playing with in the area, as well as alterations of the toys or relationships between the toys that the one or more children are effecting.

A free weight training device with labyrinth-type game and method of exercise and entertainment comprises a unique dumbbell defined by a pair of weight members joined by an elongated handle. The dumbbell is configured, so a user can develop muscle groups associated with standard weight lifting. This can include exercise movements that involve articulating muscles to move the dumbbell in a repetitive exercise motion. The dumbbell has integrated therein, a labyrinth-type game operational—directly on the outer face of at least one of the weight members. The labyrinth-type game includes at least one target area and at least one corresponding game piece. The handle is gripped and the weight members are tilted about a vertical axis to urge the game piece towards the target area, directly on the outer face of the weight members. The articulation of the dumbbell in this manner develops wrist muscles, while also entertaining the user.

A competitive game for use with bottle caps for entertainment. The bottle cap game comprises of a bottle cap shooting gun and a wall mounted game board. The wall mountable game board includes a plurality of apertures having differing diameters. Players utilizes the bottle cap shooting gun to remove a bottle cap from a bottle and shoot the cap at the apertures in the game board. A digital counter integrated into the game board displays points each time a bottle cap is shot through one of the apertures on the game board and updates the score. The bottle cap game provides users with an entertaining game for parties involving any type of beverage served in bottles.
