Capture game apparatus

A puzzle game apparatus comprising:

• a housing having first and second portions, each portion being structurally arranged to move relative to each other along a longitudinal axis of the housing;
• a first array of lights mounted to the first portion of the housing, the first array of lights being rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the housing and rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• a second array of lights mounted to the second portion of the housing;
• a controller connected to the housing and to the first and second arrays of lights for selecting from a multiplicity of varying light patterns for display on the first and second arrays of lights, including a first predetermined light pattern to appear on the first array of lights and a second predetermined pattern to appear on the second array of lights;
• a compression switch mounted to the housing operatively connected to the first and second arrays of lights and to the controller for activation when the patterns of the first and second arrays of lights display the first and the second predetermined patterns;
• and
• an indicator structure mounted to the housing and operatively connected to the controller and the compression switch for informing a game player whether the compression switch is activated when the first and the second predetermined patterns are displayed. on the first and second arrays of lights.

A method for making a puzzle game apparatus, the steps of the method comprising:

• providing a housing having first and second portions, each portion being structurally arranged to translate relative to one another along a longitudinal axis of the housing;
• mounting a first array of lights to the first portion of the housing to enable the first array of lights to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the housing and to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• mounting a second array of lights to the second portion of the housing;
• connecting a controller to the housing and to the first and second arrays of lights for selecting from a multiplicity of varying light patterns for display on the first and second arrays of lights, including a first predetermined light pattern to appear on the first array of lights and a second predetermined pattern to appear on the second array of lights;
• connecting a compression switch to the first and second arrays of lights and to the controller for activation when the patterns of the first and second arrays of lights display the first and the second predetermined patterns;
• and
• mounting, an indicator structure to the housing and operatively connecting the indicator structure to the controller and the compression switch.
