A dart game has two target arrangements that are placed on a ground surface a substantial distance apart from each other. Each of the target arrangements includes a frame, a target panel, and a leg arrangement that inclines the target panel at an angle of less than 45 degrees. The target panel includes at least two apertures therein for receiving a beverage can and at least two can holders to support and hold the beverage cans. In play, opposing players or teams throw darts at the target panels in an attempt to score points by piercing the top surface of the target panels or beverage cans disposed in the apertures.

Disclosed is the game apparatus using a train device constituted by cars of different sizes. The play ball lowered along the lane assembly may enter any one of the cars. Depending on the car into which the play ball enters, a predetermined reward may be provided to the player. The play ball entering the car deviates through the opening and rises through the elevating device. The raised play ball may be waited to descend again through the lane assembly.

An amusement game with a parabolic ball launcher for projecting a ball that will attempt to strike a primary hoop target, which can pivot or oscillate. The primary target allows the stricken ball to fall through and attempt to hit one of the two openings on a suspended platform positioned on a rotating wheel, which has openings toward the periphery of the wheel to eventually rest the ball. The rotating wheel has programmable displays corresponding to each of the openings on the periphery of the wheel, which can be adjusted based on user input to reflect new parameters or values.

In a target-shooting simulation system, a master control unit issues flight control instructions to a flight-capable drone to cause the drone to fly along a predetermined flight path and receives GPS coordinates transmitted by a control unit of the drone as the drone flies along the predetermined flight path. The master control unit additionally obtains GPS coordinates, orientation and motion information with respect to a replica firearm, detects actuation of a trigger of the replica firearm and, in response to detecting actuation of the trigger, determines, based on the GPS coordinates of the drone and the GPS coordinates, orientation and motion information with respect to the replica firearm, whether a trajectory of a theoretical shot fired by the replica firearm at time of the trigger actuation will intercept the drone as it flies along the predetermined flight path.

The present invention relates to a method for operating a ride (1) on a terrain (10) having at least one vehicle (20), the at least one vehicle (20) having a drive device (22), at least one passenger receptacle (21) for at least one passenger (5), and a store (24) that can be filled with projectiles (15), the method being characterized in that the at least one vehicle (20) is moved on the terrain by means of the relevant drive device (22) and in that at least one projectile (15) can be removed from the store (24) can be fired at the instigation of the at least one passenger (5). In addition, the present invention relates to a ride (1).

An arrow golf system has a bow having a bowstring, an arrow having a shaft with a ball on one end with a fletching and a string nock on an opposite end, a starting location, a finishing location, and a capturing apparatus at the finishing location. A player shoots the arrow from the starting location with the bow, to a second location closer to the finishing location, retrieves the arrow at the second location, and shoots the arrow toward the capturing apparatus from the second location.

A mechanically-integrated shooter and target game utilizing breath-activation of a free-flying projectile includes at least one of (a) player-adjustability of the position of a game-integrated target member relative to a base member and air turret of the game, which in turn alters game-play difficulty, (b) at least one user-selectable game-integrated target member whereby projectile interaction may occur with differing such target members, or (c) at least one scoring sensor affixed to the game and detecting physical interaction events occurring between the projectile and game-integrated target member. The scoring sensor can perform at least one of generating a sound, producing a light, producing viewable read-out data, storing data, or transmitting data to a remote digital device, in each case responsive to the interaction events.

The present invention is directed to an arcade type vacuum crane game that includes a turntable with a target support structure such as cylindrical, open ended target holders to prevent targets from toppling before, during, and after playing the game. The turntable is rotated by a centrally disposed motor having a shaft that receives a projection on the turntable to rotate the turntable in the direction of the shaft. The shaft receives the peg therein, but does not carry the weight of the turntable, which instead is supported by three peripheral rotatable wheels disposed about the motor on a bracket. Because the turntable is simply mounted over the shaft using a fitted mating, the turntable can be lifted off the motor without tools and another turntable set on top of the shaft and wheels quickly and easily.

An arrow golf system has a bow having a bowstring, an arrow having a shaft with a ball on one end with a fletching and a string nock on an opposite end, a starting location, a finishing location, and a capturing apparatus at the finishing location. A player shoots the arrow from the starting location with the bow, to a second location closer to the finishing location, retrieves the arrow at the second location, and shoots the arrow toward the capturing apparatus from the second location.
