Circuit puzzle
An apparatus for the creation of an electrical circuit on a game board as a puzzle to be solved, is provided. The game board includes an electrical control circuit that induces an electromagnetic field above a planar surface of the game board. A plurality of electrically conductive distinctly curved game pieces are placed in various ways on top of the planar surface, the goal being to place all of the pieces on the planar surface in a loop in order to create the electrical circuit. When the final game piece is placed, an induced current flow is experienced by the electrical circuit and detected by the electrical control circuit. In response to detecting completion of the electrical circuit, the electrical control circuit activates an audible indication and a visual indication simultaneously for a period of time to provide a pleasurable reward to the user in the form of sensory feedback.
Pie game and method for playing the same
A pie game of chance and strategy is disclosed herein. The pie game includes a plurality of sector-shaped game pieces with favorable and unfavorable pie indicia printed thereon; a plurality of pans configured to be distributed to players of the pie game, each of the plurality of pans configured to hold a portion of the plurality of sector-shaped game pieces therein such that, when the pan is circumferentially filled with the portion of the plurality of sector-shaped game pieces, a complete circular pie is formed in the pan; and at least one die, the at least one die configured to determine an action taken by one or more of the players of the pie game when the at least one die is rolled by one of the players. A method for playing a pie game of chance and strategy is also disclosed herein.
