A weighted lap pad comprising a base having a body-conforming configuration adapted to be placed across a lap of a seated user, the base having a plurality of channels having weights permanently enclosed within respective channels, the weights having a cumulative weight of greater than 2 pounds and a transparent window positioned at a surface of the base and in part defining a device pocket configured to receive a paper device or electronic touch screen device. The transparent window and associated pocket allowing a user to experience visual and multi-media sensation while simultaneously receiving tactile sensation of the weighted pad. The electronic device also allows for a variety of user control and sensory feedback options.

A method for and system for guiding a user in creating a craft. At least a portion of a selected crafting challenge is displayed on a portion of a display surface which is visible through a crafting surface. A composite guide element is shown on the display surface visible next to the display surface part which is visible through the specific crafting surface and a further composite guide element is also provided at a receptacle corresponding to the displayed composite guide element. It is ensured that the composite guide element and the further composite guide element provide at least two mutually independent instruction components.

A jigsaw puzzle display assembly includes (a) a base having a puzzle surface and a frame peripheral to the puzzle surface defining a well configured to hold a plurality of jigsaw puzzle pieces, and (b) a transparent sheet configured to overlie the jigsaw puzzle pieces within the well. The frame includes a detachable rail having a cantilevered segment that is dimensioned to overlie a peripheral portion of the transparent sheet without obscuring the puzzle pieces, i.e., with respect to an observer viewing a completed puzzle disposed within the display assembly.

Game surface systems configured to display a game sheet on a play surface. The game surface systems include a first module configured to support and protect the game sheet. The first module includes a back member and a cover sheet. The back member abuts the rear surface of the game sheet and is disposed between the game sheet and the play surface. The cover sheet abuts the display face of the game sheet and covers the game sheet. The game sheet includes a display face facing away from the play surface and a rear face facing the play surface. The cover sheet is coupled to the back member. In some examples, the game surface system includes a frame. In certain examples, the game surface system includes a transition module and a transition sheet.

A game utilizes a multi-surface play surface having a plurality of locations defined thereon. A plurality of topographical features are removably attachable to selected ones of the locations to further alter the game play surface. A surface base supports a plurality of light source nodes interconnected by pluralities of light transmitting elements. Light is directed upwardly through the light source nodes. Additionally, selected portions of the game play surface which overlay on top of a light source node define surface locations which include light transmissive elements constructed to avoid blocking the light therefrom. Selected surface features also include light transmissive elements to further avoid blocking light from the light source node and game play surface location. The surface base is formed in two segments and is supported upon a book-like housing which includes a mechanism for raising and lowering one of the surface base segments within the housing to facilitate complete closure thereof.

A puzzle game including a number map having a 99 grid filled 9 number sets, where each number set includes the numbers 1 through 9. The 9 number sets form unique shapes comprised of 9 grid squares, where each number from each number set is connected at a side of a square in the grid to the other numbers in the set. Corresponding to each number set is a tile group comprised of 9 transparent tiles of the same color, where each tile group is a different color. To solve the puzzle every tile must be placed adjacent a tile of the same color within a single number set. Same color tiles must be placed on a different number within a single number set. The puzzle is solved when each number set is covered by tiles of the same color and the grid completely covered by tiles.

A board game including a game board device with a game board surface with a game board pattern. A transparent shield component is configured to cover the game board surface where a frame segment is disposed around a proximate edge of the game board surface and form a section of space between the game board surface and the transparent shield for containing at least one or more magnetic game piece implements. A stylus implement is configured to be operable for generally moving the at least one or more game piece implements from one position to another across the game board surface by magnetically attaching at least one game implement to the stylus implement and sliding the stylus implement across the transparent shield component.
