A ring-tossing game assembly for entertainment includes a post that is coupled to a base, from which the post extends perpendicularly. Each of a plurality of crossbars is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from the post. Each crossbar is substantially U-shaped so that opposing ends of the crossbar extend toward a top of the post. Each of a plurality of rings is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user who is positioned proximate to the post. The user is positioned to toss the ring toward the post intending the ring to insertably couple to a respective crossbar.

The jumping toy comprises a puppet, a plurality of springs, and a counter. The counter and the plurality of springs attach to the puppet. The jumping toy is configured for use with a supporting surface. The jumping toy is pressed against the supporting surface such that the plurality of springs is deformed. When the jumping toy is released, each of the plurality of springs returns to its relaxed position such that the jumping toy jumps to an elevation above the supporting surface. The counter is a mechanical device. The counter counts the number of times the jumping toy jumps. The puppet is a composite prism structure that visually presents a dynamic expression during the use of the jumping toy.

A game that dispenses water onto a user is described, as well as methods of play and apparatuses for same. In some embodiments, water is dispensed from headgear after receiving a wireless transmission from a transmitter located on a gun, console or other device.

A projectile for launching through the air comprises a body and one or more projecting members integral therewith extending outwardly a distance from the body, which can be hollow or solid. The projectile is formed from an elastomeric material capable of being stretched to energize the projectile for launching. The projecting members are positioned a distance apart from one another and include openings disposed therethrough at distal ends for engaging sections of a launching device. The launching device includes a handle with the sections extending outwardly therefrom to accommodate placement of the projectile openings thereagainst for retaining the projectile before and during launch. The projectile is launched from the device by pulling the body away from the launching device to energize the projectile, and then releasing the energized projectile, causing it to be propelled from the launching device into the air and towards a desired target.

A projectile target assembly for use in a targeted projectile launching game includes an outer ring and an inner ring, which can be positioned on a substantially horizontal surface with the inner ring within the outer ring. A first target is defined by and positioned between the outer ring and the inner ring. A second target is defined and outlined by the inner ring. A post is positionable in a substantially vertical configuration within the inner ring. A first receptacle, which is attached to the post proximate to its upper end, has an upper facet that is open to define a third target. A second receptacle, which is attached to and positioned in the first receptacle, has an upper face that is open to define a fourth target. Projectiles are launched at the first, second, third, and fourth targets as part of a targeted projectile launching game.

An integral greeting card/game is disclosed wherein a multi-panel greeting card also serves as a game board and is combined with a game piece and launch mechanism to create a novel, interactive greeting card. The multi-panel greeting card contains a sound module therein and a magnetic trigger is contained and concealed below one or more of the multiple greeting card panels. The game piece contains a magnet therein so that when the game piece comes into contact with the area of the greeting card above or proximate to the magnetic trigger, playback of an audio file is initiated. In one embodiment, the game piece is operative to interact with a touch screen of a mobile device.

The present invention provides a gaining device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaining device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaining device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaining device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaining device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.
