An automated runway loop including a u-shaped runway, wherein the runway is configured to support an aerial projectile with the runway having a discharging end and a receiving end. The runway has a support attached to the runway and to a motor capable of extending and retracting the runway along an axis. At least one sensor is positioned along the runway and configured to provide at least one output indicative of at least one parameter of the aerial projectile. A computer is connected to the sensors and the motor, the computer controlling energization of the motor based at least in part on an indicated parameter of the aerial projectile, where the energization of the motor causes the aerial projectile to be discharged from one end of the runway and to be received at the other end of the runway.

A game and a method for making it, according to certain disclosed embodiments, may include a playfield for allowing a rollable device for moving along its surface. Playfield guides may direct the rollable device along a path of travel. Three or more target goals on the playfield may receive the rollable device as its final destination. Decision making devices mounted movably on the playfield may adjust manually selectively the path of travel, and each have an entrance structure and two or more exit structures. Decision making device guides direct the rollable device from the entrances to selected ones of the exits. Wherein the rollable device moves along a selected path of travel including user selected entrances and user selected exits of a series of decision making devices to a user selected target goal.

A space puzzle including a plurality of outer face panels, at least two of the plurality of outer face panels each defining at least one path segment. Each of the outer face panels is rotatable, and the rotation of any one of the outer face panels is independent of and not altering any path segment defined in another of the outer face panels. The path segments on the at least two of the outer face panels of the puzzle are configured such that at least one sequence of rotations of at least one of the at least two of the outer face panels exists that permits a position indicator to travel along a continuous pathway between a preset starting point and a preset finish point along the at least one path segment of the at least two of the plurality of outer face panels.

A moving ball-in-a-maze puzzle game includes at least two moving maze rings. Each maze ring includes a respective maze, the maze rings moving relative to one another over a platform, defining dynamic paths therebetween enabling maneuvering a ball on the platform from a start position to an end position through the mazes, while passing between the respective moving maze rings.
