Electronic Game Device And Method Of Using The Same

An electronic device for playing a game, comprising:

• a housing, the housing having a plurality of sides, the housing being made of a material that is semi-translucent, the housing being configured to generate a question and a plurality of answers, each of the answers being associated with a different output;
• a light emitting device;
• an orientation detector, the orientation detector being configured to determine the orientation of the housing, the light emitting device generating different outputs based on the orientation of the housing so that the user can provide input to the housing based on the orientation of the housing and the particular output associated with a desired answer and generated by the light emitting device;
• and
• a switch, the switch being operably coupled to a controller in the housing, the switch being configured to be activated by the user when the housing is in a desired orientation.

A method of playing a game on an electronic device, the electronic device including a housing with an output device, the method comprising the steps of:

• presenting a question;
• presenting potential answers associated with the question, one of the answers being correct in response to the question;
• associating indicators with the answers, each indicator being associated with one of the answers;
• generating the indicators with the output device in response to the orientation of the housing, one of the indicators being generated as the housing is disposed in a different orientation;
• obtaining input from the user, the input including the selection of one of the answers, the input being based on the selection of an indicator;
• and
• determining whether the answer associated with the input is correct.

A method of playing a game on an electronic device, the electronic device including a housing, the method comprising the steps of:

• evaluating a question generated by the electronic device;
• evaluating at least three potential answers to the question, one of the potential answers being correct in response to the question;
• and
• manipulating the housing to select one of the potential answers.
