Specifically the device utilizes at least one sensing mechanism for revealing a winner. More specifically a device for revealing a winner can be Balloon Toys such as Balloon Swords. It uses sensing mechanisms to determine the moment a winner has won and then triggers a mechanism in the non-winners device to destroy itself. A device for revealing a winner may include a bladder fill able with fluid, a way to hold the bladder, a mechanism to detect a win event, a mechanism to notify the loser's equipment of the win event, and a mechanism to burst the bladder of the loser's battle/sport equipment based on their loss.
MIDAIR BALLOON-POPPING GAME TOOL, TOY DRONE, BALLOON-POPPING GAME TOOL, AND BALLOON-POPPING GAME METHOD
A dedicated midair balloon-popping game apparatus is used by attaching to a drone that can be remotely controlled. The midair balloon-popping game apparatus includes: a container, which includes an attachment portion for attachment to the drone, and is capable of accommodating a balloon in an inflated state; a pressed portion which is provided on an outer side of the container; a balloon-popping member which acts to pop the balloon inside the container when the pressed portion is pressed; and a pressing portion configured to collide with a pressed portion of a midair balloon-popping game apparatus of another player.
ATTENDANT-FREE GAME MACHINE
An attendant-free midway-style electronic game machine. The game machine includes a predetermined number of projectiles for game play during a user game play session, a lower cabinet or first structural portion, a target cabinet or second structural portion having a target, and at least one detector. The lower cabinet may include a counter section and an elongated ramp section ending proximal to a user play position. The target cabinet may be located on top of the ramp section and spaced a distance from the counter section. At least one detector, which may be in the form of a sensor array, is configured to detect when an interruption occurs in the array indicating a projectile has passed by the detection area. The game machine may be configured to detect when a projectile has been actuated towards the target or has ricocheted off the target and is traveling towards the counter section. An electronic controller in electronic communication with said detector, may be configured to automatically end a game play session once a predetermined number of said game projectiles have been detected as having been actuated by a user toward said target.
INFLATION TIMER AND GAME
A game comprising an inflation device, at least one inflatable object to be inflated by the inflation device, the at least one inflatable object associated with at least one indicia, and at least one game card to be associated with the at least one indicia, wherein a player of the game associates the at least one game card with the at least one indicia upon inflation of the at least one inflatable objection. There is also provided an inflation time and a method of playing a game using the inflation timer.
Piñata of reduced volume to facilitate the transport thereof
The present invention refers to piatas and other container devices that store a volume of candies, gifts and/or prizes that are dispensed when the container device is opened. More particularly, the present invention provides a piata of reduced volume to facilitate the transport thereof which is characterized in that comprises: an inflatable cavity; a receptacle of objects joined to said inflatable cavity, said receptacle of objects that has an aperture; sealing means of said inflatable cavity; and means for opening and closing said aperture of said receptacle of objects. Additionally, the piata which is subject of the present invention has the advantage of being esthetically appealing to a user.

Balloon target apparatus and method
A target apparatus including a post having a point on a first end, and an opposing second end; a plurality of support members, each having a first end connected to the second end of the post, and an opposing second end; and a central deflector having a point; and wherein each of the second ends of each of the plurality of support members is spaced apart from each of the other second ends of the plurality of support members; and wherein the central deflector is located within a perimeter defined by second ends of the plurality of support members. The target apparatus may further include a ring, which may be connected to the second ends of the plurality of support members.
GAME SYSTEM
A game system includes: a balloon; an air supply source; an air supply pipe that connects the balloon with the air supply source; and a control device that executes a game, and when the game is not cleared within a predetermined time limit, performs control for producing a game effect of bursting the balloon having been inflated.
SHOOTING TARGET
A shooting target device having a target board with multiple openings to receive an inflated balloon in each opening. Each opening includes radial projections to frictionally engage a balloon with an interference fit. A size gauge is provided to assist in inflating the balloons to a proper size to be engaged by the radial projections when a balloon is inflated and inserted into an opening. A one-way valve can be provided for ease of inflating the balloon and retaining the balloon in an inflated condition until it is hit by a projectile and exploded.
