Play tents in child-friendly design enjoy great popularity in the nursery and in the garden and offer children in addition to a variety of game options, the opportunity to own a small dwelling

set up as an additional retreat or hiding option. Parents or guardians see additional benefits in play tents in their relatively low weight and low

Purchase costs and in particular the possibility to compactly collapse and stow the tent when not in use.

To achieve various visual effects and to improve the lighting conditions in the tent different approaches have been followed to install lighting devices inside the tent. Thus, it is known to attach a lighting device to a rod part of the Spielzelts to provide, for example, a reading light available. The advantages of such devices, however, are purely functional in nature and can not contribute to a child-friendly visual enhancement of Spielzelts. In addition, known lighting devices are relatively bulky and extend relatively far into the already limited tent interior.

Against this background, it is an object of the first aspect of the present invention to provide a play tent which has an improved child-friendly visual effect using a lighting device allows and which is also inexpensive to produce and easy to install. To achieve this object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a game tent according to claim 1 is provided. Such a game tent comprises in particular a holding means for holding the lighting device, wherein the holding means is connected to the tent wall or the linkage and is adapted for, in the constructed state of the Spielzelts the

To keep lighting device to a predetermined portion of the tent wall on a tent interior facing side of the tent wall. According to an important feature of the invention of the first aspect, thus, the lighting device is located just behind the tent wall and thus can illuminate the tent wall and / or the tent interior without reaching into the tent interior disturbing. An attachment close to the

Tent wall also allows a special lighting of the tent wall to achieve certain visual effects.

Preferably, the holding means holds the lighting device such that a light emission direction of the lighting device is aligned with the predetermined portion of the tent wall. By the emission of the light toward the tent wall, the effect is achieved that outside the tent the light passing through the tent wall is visible at a predetermined position of the tent wall and the tent wall itself can be used as an optical element. Depending on the coloration, light transmission or scattering behavior of the tent wall, special effects can be achieved without the need to provide more complex optics in the lighting device itself. Depending on the positioning of the lighting device on the

Tent wall and training the tent wall a variety of visually attractive and child-friendly optical effects can be achieved without additional components are necessary. The play tent is thus on the one hand inexpensive and can be produced with low weight and on the other hand visually designed child-friendly.
