Description

 The invention relates to entertaining logical games.

 Known puzzle with moving elements (UK application N 2.223,180 cl. A 63 F 9/08, 1991) with the letters depicted on them. Elements must be set in a specific order to get words. This puzzle has no internal cavity.

 Known puzzle (US patent N 5116053, class A 63 F 9/08, 1992) containing a housing with an internal cavity and game elements mounted on the housing movably with respect to each other. It has an internal cavity in which anything can be placed, for example, a container with a drink. However, access to this cavity (opening the container with the drink) is not associated with the need for a preliminary puzzle. Therefore, placing something in the inner cavity of the puzzle in this way does not increase the gaming interest.

 The present invention is directed to increasing gaming interest. The puzzle game has movable elements that must be installed in a certain order, and an internal cavity. In the inner cavity is a pre-placed (e.g. factory) prize. The guessing puzzle does not know what exactly is in the inner cavity. This increases his interest in the puzzle. The disclosure of the puzzle is hindered by elements made, for example, in the form of protrusions of the puzzle piece covering the cavity. You can open the puzzle and get a prize only by placing movable elements in a certain order, for example, in longitudinal rows of the same color. The movable elements have curly grooves on the inner surface, and elements of the same color have the same groove profile. When movable elements of the same color are installed in rows, long grooves of a profile, constant for each color, are formed along which protrusions of the puzzle part cover the cavity, having a profile corresponding to the groove profile. The part of the puzzle that closes the cavity is removed from the puzzle and the guessed puzzle receives a prize.

 The puzzle can be used repeatedly both with a pre-paid prize or without a prize, with less playing interest in the second case.

 Figure 1 shows the puzzle in its original state; figure 2 puzzle in the open state with a prize; figure 3 puzzle (section) in the initial state; figure 4 is a view of a movable element with one of the options for the profile of the groove; figure 5 diagram of the construction of the puzzle.

 The possibility of creating a puzzle game is illustrated by drawings (Fig.1 5). In this case, the colors of the elements are conventionally indicated by letters, the same letters correspond to one color.

 The puzzle consists of a housing 1 with movable elements 2 placed on it, a block of code elements made, for example, in the form of a glass 3 covering the internal cavity, and a prize 4 placed in the internal cavity of the puzzle. The housing 1 has grooves 5 on the outer surface, along which the elements 2 can move, and the number of elements 2 must be at least one less than can be placed on the outer surface of the housing 1, so that it is possible to move the elements 2 along the grooves 5.

 The housing 1 has lining 6, which hold the elements 2 on the surface of the housing 1 for the protrusions 7 provided on them. By changing the size of the lining 6 (when designing a puzzle, and not when using it), you can limit the movement of elements 2 in any directions, thereby getting puzzles of various difficulty levels. Inside the case 1 is placed a prize 4, which is closed by a glass 3. The glass 3 has protrusions 8 that freely pass through the grooves 9 of the case 1, but which are not in the final state of the puzzle (i.e. in such a state when the prize cannot be removed) in an arbitrary state with respect to each other, the elements 2. On the body 1 there are marks 10, according to which the elements 2 should be placed in the final state of the puzzle, when it becomes possible to extract the prize 4. Each element 2 has a concave surface groove 11, the same profile for elements of the same color. To improve manufacturability, the housing 1 can be prefabricated. When assembling, lining 6 and ring 12 are installed on it.

 At the factory, a prize 4 is placed in the housing 1, closed with a glass 3, the elements 2 are installed in an arbitrary state with respect to each other. The player sets the elements 2 in accordance with the marks 10 on the housing 1, alternately moving the elements 2 along the grooves 5. When installing the elements 2 of the same color in a row, the grooves 11 form a long groove of a constant profile. In this case, the groove profile corresponds to the profile of the protrusion 8 of the glass 3. The player playing for the grip 13, located on the glass 3, pulls the glass 3 from the housing 1, giving access to the prize 4.
