Tabletop drinking game apparatus
A tabletop drinking game apparatus includes a base, a tower, a plurality of dispensing units, a reservoir, a microcontroller, and a power source. The tower is concentrically attached to the base as the reservoir is concentrically connected to the tower, opposite of the base. Each user is able to enter their input command through a pair of control buttons of the base. The plurality of dispensing units is radially mounted around the tower and is in fluid communication with the reservoir so that the stored beverage can be dispensed according to the outcomes of the game. The power source is electrically connected to control buttons, the plurality of dispensing units, and the microcontroller to initiate the game play. The microcontroller is electronically connected to the plurality of dispensing units as the microcontroller determines the outcome of the game play.
Three-dimensional throwing game target apparatus
A three-dimensional throwing game target apparatus includes platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions. The platforms include an outer wall and a platform receptacle ring that is adapted to receive a cup. Each of the bridge members include at least one bridge receptacle ring and a plurality of elongated girders extending outwardly from the bridge receptacle ring. The bridge members and the platforms may be detachably connected to one another in a horizontal plane. The stanchions are assembled to the platforms to support the receptacle rings at a plurality of different heights. The platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions may be assembled together to support the platform receptacle rings at selected vertically and horizontally spaced locations.
PROJECTILE RAMP-LAUNCHING GAME AND METHOD OF PLAY
A first game apparatus for inside or outdoor use comprising an elongated runway having a front end and a rear end with a ramp positioned at the front end, a target supported above the runway at the back of the ramp, said ramp having a curvature such that a projectile propelled along the runway from the rear end, passing under the target, and sliding up the ramp is given an upward trajectory curving towards a target of a second game apparatus. In one embodiment, the target is mounted on a U-shaped frame with ends forming a dogleg out of the plane of the frame for positioning the target at an incline or vertically. In most embodiments the target includes at least one aperture for receipt of a projectile such as bean bag.
Puzzle storage box
The puzzle storage box disclosed herein may comprise an internal locking mechanism designed to challenge ingenuity while being embedded within an assembly of unlimited form potentiality. In one variation, the internal locking mechanism is embedded in a shallow container and may be used for more personal, everyday carry. In another variation, the internal locking mechanism is embedded in a deeper container for increased volume and prominent display. The internal locking mechanism will be incorporated into endless shapes and forms, and its novel method of operation will be respectively conveyed.
Device for Allowing Small Cups to Temporarily Sit Inside Larger Beer Pong Cups
An adapter device that enables smaller drinking cups to fit within larger drinking cups for a beverage-drinking game, said smaller cups holding a different beverage than the larger cups. The device comprises a continuous planar band for covering the top rim of the smaller diameter cup; and a plurality of clips extending downwardly from the continuous planar band. Each device can be removed from the cups and worn as a wristband.
Electronic tournament gaming tabletop
An electronic tournament gaming tabletop for use with ping pong, beer pong, or other tabletop games. The table includes a means for entering each player's name and keeping the list of players. The player names and scores are displayed on the surface of the table for use in a tournament. The table may implement a rule of winner remains, advancing the list when an end-game signal is entered by the players, or a bracket. When the feature is specified, usage can be automatically tracked and directly communicated with a cloud system for the accurate tracking and sharing of gameplay information including time of use, while personal identifying information such as names will remain on the device, be erased upon power-off, and never be sent over the internet.
