In this example, the determination start switch 5 is arranged facing the inside of the insertion hole 15 drilled upward from the lower end of the gripping portion 1a.

  In addition, a multi-color LED capable of emitting seven colors is adopted for the lighting tool 8b as the display means 6 provided at the tip 1b of the game measuring tool 1. This illuminating device 8b is connected to the determination means 4, and based on the number of detections recorded by the recording means 3, the control according to the determination result of the determination means 4 that determines the player's fear level in several stages, The color is designated and the lighting device 8b emits light. In the lighting device 8b of this example, the normal light emission color as the light for illuminating the surroundings is set to orange, and when functioning as the display means 6 for displaying the player's fear level, when the fear level is at the maximum level, It is set to emit light in seven steps, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, as pink is emitted and the fear is reduced. Further, a black light LED is employed as the lighting device 8a for mainly illuminating the front of the player. A black light is a so-called ultraviolet light, which has a unique lighting effect that shines a night paint or white paint in the dark, and illuminates the inside of the attraction facility A, which is a haunted house, as shown in FIG. It is possible to create an atmosphere that makes the player scared during the game.

  In addition, the determination display device 10 disposed at the exit of the attraction facility A is a part that returns the play measuring instrument 1 lent to the player at the entrance of the attraction facility A after the game as shown in FIG. This is a device for causing the game measuring instrument 1 to determine the degree of fear of the player and displaying the determination result. When the game measuring instrument 1 is returned to the determination display device 10, the game measuring instrument 1 is placed on the placement surface 16 provided on the determination display device 10 and facing upward. A switch pressing means 18 for pressing the determination start switch 5 of the game measuring instrument 1 while holding the placed game measuring instrument 1 is provided between the game measuring instrument 1 and the determination display device 10. Specifically, an insertion rod 17 projects upward from the placement surface 16 of the determination display device 10, and when the game measuring instrument 1 is placed on the placement surface 16 after playing, the insertion rod 17 is played. By fitting in the insertion hole 15 of the measuring tool 1, the determination start switch 5 is pressed while holding the game measuring tool 1 standing on the placement surface 16, and the player's fear of the game is afraid. It is determined and displayed on the display means 6 of the game measuring instrument 1.

It is intended to be strongly encouraged.

  Such a player evaluation system has an advantage that it can be easily introduced into the attraction facility A. That is, in this player evaluation system, the game measuring instrument 1 that measures the fear of the player is carried, so that only the determination display device 10 that is disposed at the attraction facility A is disposed at the exit. It is. Considering that in the conventional player evaluation system, it is necessary to arrange a heart rate measuring device at the entrance and the exit of the attraction facility A, and in addition to this, it is necessary to arrange a judgment display device at the exit. Then, the number of devices arranged on the attraction facility A side is reduced, and it is easy to secure the arrangement place, and the apparatus can be easily introduced into the attraction facility A. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that this player evaluation system can be easily introduced also into the existing attraction facility A. Further, in this player evaluation system, since the player's fear is measured during the game by the game measuring instrument 1 carried by the player during the game, the game is evaluated like a conventional player evaluation system. There is no need to measure the heart rate before and after the game, and there is an advantage that it is possible to entertain the player without making the player feel awkward when measuring the fear of the player. It is.

  In the game measuring instrument 1 in this player evaluation system, a simple vibration sensor 2a is employed as the measuring means 2 for measuring the degree of fear of the player during the game, and the malfunction of the vibration sensor 2a is prevented. It is made possible by a simple configuration, and therefore has an advantage that the play measuring instrument 1 and, in turn, the player evaluation system can be simplified. That is, if the player is surprised or scared and runs or shakes his / her body, the game measuring instrument 1 is expected to vibrate, so the game measuring instrument detected by the vibration sensor 2a employed as the measuring means 2 of the game measuring instrument 1 is used. A player's fear can be easily measured by the number of vibrations of one. Further, the inclination degree of the game measuring instrument 1 held by the player is measured by the inclination sensor 7 provided on the game measuring instrument 1, and based on the measured value of the inclination sensor 7, the vibration sensor 2a does not function normally. When the lighting control means 9 determines that the game measuring instrument 1 is in a tilted posture, the output of the lighting fixture 8 of the game measuring instrument 1 is turned off under the control of the lighting control means 9. If the lighting fixture 8 disappears, it becomes difficult to walk in the attraction facility A, which is a dark place. Therefore, the player does not tilt the held game measuring instrument 1 so that the output of the lighting fixture 8 is not turned off. Therefore, it can be expected that the posture is properly maintained, and therefore, the malfunction of the vibration sensor 2a due to the posture failure of the play measuring instrument 1 is prevented. As described above, the player evaluation system of the present example has achieved a relatively high operation reliability in measuring the fear of the player while being able to reduce the manufacturing cost with a simple configuration. is there.

  As described above, in the attraction facility A of the present example in which the above-described player evaluation system is introduced, the game measuring instrument 1 is lent to the player when entering the facility at the entrance, and the player uses the game measuring instrument. We walked toward the exit in the dark facility relying on the light of 1 lighting fixture 8, and during that time, the players were surprised or scared by various devices prepared in the facility, and they played a liver-playing game. Having fun, when the player arrives at the exit, the player places the game measuring instrument 1 on the mounting surface 16 of the determination display device 10 and returns it. At that time, the player displays the determination measurement device 10 in the insertion hole 15 of the game measurement instrument 1. The insertion rod 17 is fitted and the determination start switch 5 is turned on. The determination means 4 determines the degree of fear of the player, and the determination result is displayed on the display screen 11 of the illumination tool 8b as the display means 6 or the determination display device 10. To display to the player at That. If it is determined that the degree of fear is great, the player can feel regretful, and the player can be encouraged to re-attempt the attraction facility A of this example. In other words, the player evaluation system encourages the increase of repeaters who enjoy playing repeatedly at an attraction facility. Moreover, in the attraction facility A of this example, while adding the pleasure of measuring and determining the fear of the player, before and after the game in the conventional player evaluation system as described above This makes it possible to eliminate the complications such as heart rate measurement, and to make the game enjoyable without causing the player to feel complicated.

Also, as is the attraction facility A, it has been exemplified those that enjoy the game by walking the player himself toward from the inlet to the outlet, play around the inside of the facility and provided a vehicle over the inside of the facility in this vehicle You can enjoy it. Even if the measuring means 2 of the game measuring instrument 1 is composed of the vibration sensor 2a and the vehicle on which the player rides is somewhat vibrated, changing the setting of the judgment standard in the judging means 4 makes the player fear without any trouble. The condition can be determined.

  In addition, the game measuring instrument 1 is not used as a part of the player evaluation system introduced to the attraction facility A as described above, but is used alone for an event such as a general bile test that does not use the attraction facility A. Also good. In this case, if the judgment start switch 5 of the game measuring instrument 1 is exposed to the outside of the game measuring instrument 1 and can be pressed by hand, the judgment display device 10 can be dispensed with. In this way, even in general events such as trials, the use of the game measuring instrument 1 can create new enjoyment such as determining the degree of fear of the player.

  In addition, the game measuring instrument 1 is not provided with the determination disclosure switch 5, and during the game, while the gamer's fear is measured by the measuring unit 2, the determination unit 4 determines and the determination result is displayed as the display unit 6. You may make it display with the illuminating tool 8b, In this case, the player who is playing can be made to recognize own fear condition in real time, and a new pleasure can be made during a game.
