Dining game apparatus

A dining game apparatus comprising:

• a spoon configured to hold a food item;
• a sensor unit electrically coupled with the spoon, wherein the sensor unit is configured to output a first signal when a user mouth touches the spoon;
• an actuator configured to output a second signal when the actuator is activated;
• a transceiver communicatively coupled with the sensor unit and the actuator, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit one or both of the first signal and the second signal to an external computing device, wherein the first signal alone causes the external computing device to perform a first action, and wherein the first signal and the second signal together cause the external computing device to perform a second action;
• and
• a housing configured to house a spoon distal portion, the sensor unit and the transceiver.
