Abstract

An information providing device such as a question and answer game (3a) has a substrate (3) carrying visually identifiable ink dots (B1, B2) comprising two inks of the same colour with one of the inks (B2) being fluorescent <I>ie</I> emitting radiation of a wavelength different to the wavelength of radiation received, and a detector (4) for detecting the emission of the different wavelength and providing a signal to means for advising a user when the different wavelength is received <I>eg</I> when a detector pen is pointed at a correct answer. Alternatively the answers may be line drawings or images formed by a matrix of very small ink dots. Codes or clues may be hidden in images, and a different audible response produced according an object detected eg animal calls. A bar code may be printed on a product label with fluorescent and non-fluorescent inks so as to look like a solid block of grey or black.
