A handheld electronic game includes a housing assembly; resilient domes protruding from the housing assembly; and a programmable, interactive system and at least one light emitting diode mounted within the housing, electrically connected to the programmable, interactive system. The housing assembly has a front housing portion and a rear housing portion. Each of the domes has a first surface and a second surface. The domes can transition from a first position where the first surface is convex to a second position where the second surface is convex. The programmable, interactive system includes a microprocessor and a sensor. The sensor is electrically connected to the microprocessor and senses when one or more of the domes transitions from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position. The domes can be returned to their first position with a reset mechanism or manually.

The puzzle with attachable and releasable pieces includes shaped puzzle pieces and a two-part base, which includes a front base section and a back baseplate. The puzzle pieces have rear-facing engaging mechanisms that are attachable to forward-facing male studs carried by the back baseplate. The puzzle pieces each have a particular outer shape determining placement. The puzzle may be stored with the puzzle pieces engaged to the back baseplate, but the puzzle pieces may be later released for repeat play by using a provided puzzle release mechanism.

The memory stimulation device may include a card with more than one defined area including a first area with a perforated matrix. The perforated matrix may define a plurality of sections. The sections may each include a letter, which may be a single letter from the English alphabet, and a number, which may be a natural number, displayed on a first surface of each section. An instruction area may be provided adjacent to the first area and may include a graphic of itemized instructions on how to use the memory stimulation device. An advertizing area may be provided adjacent to the instruction area. The advertizing area may include a printable area on which advertizing space may be used.

A roulette game enables single-spin formation of meaningful character strings, which character strings may be coupled to tones for enhancing the gaming experience. The meaningful character strings may be defined by solfege-enabling letter groups, which letter groups may prompt underlying tones in solmization. The syllabic roulette game comprises a roulette wheel, a wager-enabling layout, and a plurality of balls. The wheel comprises alphabetic characters against a rainbow colored backdrop for enabling various payout schemes. A color-coordinated wager support surface is preferably disposed adjacent the roulette wheel for facilitating wager placement.

Our invention provides an improved set of multi-faced building blocks with the following characteristics: 1) softer edges designed to increase friction of the blocks during the construction process; 2) faces that allow mounting different tiles with variety of designs which provide hints guiding construction of solutions, allowing player to complete puzzles; and 3) mountable tiles that code each face of the building block in order to increase the number of visible solutions within one set of blocks, making the puzzle more versatile. Our invention lets players create and code their own new unique solutions using the mountable tiles. Our invention also allows the player to recognize and track each new solution using the design elements depicted on the mountable tiles. The proposed invention can develop spatial reasoning skills of players and can be used for education or entertainment.

Package for plurality of products, preferably foodstuff products, more preferably confectionery products. The package includes: an outer container; and a tray, which is provided with a plurality of housings containing the products and rotatably mounted within the container. Provided on the tray is an array of game indications. An opening or an opening and a transparent portion, for rendering accessible a product contained in a housing so that it can be removed, and for rendering visible from outside an indication of the game. A shaped portion is provided, which faces, or projects on, the outside of the container and which the consumer can get hold of. The tray is configured for being rotated, via the shaped portion, so as to render accessible a new product and, simultaneously, render visible from outside a new game indication, through the at least one opening or else the opening and the transparent portion.

A word-forming game and methods to play the game are disclosed. In one implementation, the method includes obtaining a plurality of game pieces amongst which at least one game piece bears a rotatable indicia on a face thereof, wherein the rotatable indicia depicts a different set of one or more letters when viewed from different viewing orientations. The method further includes linearly arranging the game pieces on a gaming surface to form a first word, wherein the first word includes a first set of one or more letters depicted by the rotatable indicia when viewed from a first viewing orientation, and rotating the at least one game piece bearing the rotatable indicia to form a second word different from the first word, wherein the second word includes a second set of one or more letters depicted by the rotatable indicia when viewed from a second viewing orientation.

A mathematical puzzle game includes a book that has a plurality of pages. Each of a plurality of puzzles is printed on an associated one of the pages and each of the puzzles is selectively solved for entertainment purposes. A plurality of pre-determined numbers is printed on each of the puzzles. Selected numbers are written on each of the puzzles such a sum of a pair of the selected numbers equals an adjacent one of the pre-determined numbers.
