Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an interactive treasure finding game.
  • the present invention relates to an interactive game having a tray with hidden compartments formed therein for holding treasure or puzzle pieces.
  • the tray is disposed in an outer container having openings aligned with the compartments for retrieving the treasure or puzzle pieces therethrough.
  • a book may be provided for the purposes of providing instruction or to further support the overall theme of the game.
  • a stick or similar probe may be provided which is adapted to be inserted into the channels for manipulating the articles within the compartments.
  • An elongated chamber may be formed in the tray adapted to receive and hold the stick when not in use. The elongated chamber is contemplated to be accessible through one of the compartments.
  • a removable panel may be located in one of the compartments for partitioning the compartment into a first and second portion; the first portion being in communication its associated opening and the second portion being inaccessible to the associated opening until the panel is removed.
  • a pair of elongated sticks or rods 80 are provided for use with the interactive game 10 of the present invention.
  • the sticks 80 are stored in an elongated chamber 82 recessed in the tray 12 which opens onto one of the compartments, such as compartment 18.
  • a biasing means 84 such as a wad of resilient material or a spring, is provided at the end of the chamber 82 to bias the sticks 80 against a side wall 81 of the compartment 18 ( Figures 3 and 4).
  • the tray 12 includes a plurality of channels 86a-h which extend between the side walls 88 of the tray 12 and the interior of compartments 18, 20, 22, and 24.
  • the channels are generally tapered inwardly to facilitate entry of a elongated probe, such as the sticks 80, from outside the tray.
  • the sidewalls 90 of the outer container 14 are similarly provided with holes 92 which are aligned with the channels 86a-h and facilitate access thereto.
  • Channels 86a and 86d are provided with enlarged portions 85 and 87, respectively, which can serve as concealed storage areas for articles, such as folded notes 89. It is contemplated that indicia or other descriptive matter can be placed on the notes 89 to provide instructions or clues to the player.
  • a narrow channel 100 connects compartments 22 and 24.
  • a pair of notches 102 and 104 are formed in opposed sidewalls of the compartments 22 and 24, respectively, and are in alignment with the channel 100.
  • the panel 94 is slidably disposed within the channel 100 between a first position shown in Figure 2 to a second position (not shown). In the first position, the panel 94 extends across the compartment 24 with one end in the notch 102 and separates a distal portion 24c of the compartment 24 from the main portion 24a.
  • the panel 96 can be slidably moved until the other end of the panel is located within the notch 104. In this second position the distal end 24c of the compartment 24 is in communication with the main portion 24c.
  • the discs 48 and 50 can be rotated back to compartment 22 and the sticks 80 inserted into channel 86d to push out the folded note 89 therein.
  • This note 89 can provide instructions for the player to assemble the nine puzzle pieces 116a-i to form a complete figurine and solve the puzzle.
  • game 10 Many different themes are contemplated for the game 10, such as an Easter egg hunt, a haunted house, a treasure island, an archeological expedition, Chinese puzzles, grandma's house, and the like.
  • the game 10 of the present invention may also be modified by combining the outer container 14 and the tray 12 to form an integral structure.
  • the top wall 26 of the container 14 may be attached to the top of the tray 12 without the need for the remainder of the container 14.
  • other forms of covering the top of the tray 12 are known and contemplated for use with the present invention.
  • cover means 32 A number of variations for the cover means 32 are also contemplated. Instead of the rotating disc arrangement disclosed, many alternate arrangement would function equally as well. Individual doors for each compartment are contemplated as one alternate embodiment. A slidable lattice arrangement of strips which can be positioned to selectively cover the compartments is also contemplated.
