A manipulative puzzle maze is disclosed. The puzzle maze in which a player must pick a solving piece, for example, balls at the start location/s such as peripheral channels and deliver them through a combination of static and moving maze obstacles, such as various pathways and a plurality of gears, to one of several finishing points or home bases. The puzzle maze offers a fun way to develop memory, concentration and logic, can be played in any setting and has high replay value due to different modes of play. The puzzle maze comprises a cog wheel, a base provided with various underflow channels, a rim member, a maze structure, a plurality of gears, and a cover for enclosing the puzzle maze. The maze structure comprises a combination of static and moving maze obstacles such as a plurality of channels and/or passages and openings for forming a maze pattern.

A coin funnel spinning well device includes upper and lower sections connected by a midsection suspension system configured for accommodating oscillating movement in three dimensions between the sections. The upper section includes an observation dome mounted on a funnel with a lower funnel discharge. A coin launch assembly is mounted in the observation dome and receives coins through a coin insert opening in the observation dome. A pair of handles are mounted on opposite sides of the upper section and enable an operator to manipulate movement of the upper section to maintain a coin on a spiral trajectory. The coin funnel spinning well device can be automated with a computerized control system for controlling Internet access, lighting, coin sensing, timer, and input and output device functions.

The board game includes a board game apparatus that is adapted to be placed on a table. The apparatus includes a board and a plurality of chips. The board includes a stand to support the board on the table. The stand is attached to the bottom surface of the board. With the stand, a player can tilt the board in different directions. Before the board is tilted, the board lies flat on the table. A player can tilt the board in a manner such that one side of the board contacts the table surface and another side of the board opposite to that side lifts up from the table surface. The board includes rows of grooves. The chips include a protrusion configured to fit in the grooves and move in the grooves. The chips are configured to slide on the board in response to the tilting movement.
