Abstract
A question and answer game which requires a coded reference surface having a depiction thereon, preferrably in the form of a map is taught. The reference surface is subdividable by a coded cell-type network. The players correctly answer different questions provided on cards by identifying the appropriate coded area on the depiction with the answers to the questions appropriately associated therewith. The individual cells of the network are further dividable by a separate lens-type member having division lines thereon defining further coded areas. In this way, the answer accuracy may be increased and the depiction is not unduly cluttered.
Claims19
A game comprising a reference surface depicting at least a part of the world geography and a cell-like network subdividing said reference surface into coded cells having uniform size;
- a plurality of questions, each having an answer which is a location within said reference surface;
- a plurality of answers associated with said plurality of questions in a manner to identify a coded cell containing the location which correctly answers the given question;
- and a first chance means for selecting a region of the reference surface to which the question relates.
A game comprising a reference surface having a depiction thereon and means associated with said depiction and reference surface subdividing said reference surface into small coded areas;
- a plurality of questions, each having an answer which is a location within said depiction and at least partially identified by a code associated with said small coded areas;
- a plurality of answers associated with said plurality of questions in a manner to identify at least the correct code of the small coded area containing the location which correctly answers the given question;
- and
- means for selectively sub-dividing the coded areas into smaller coded divisions and wherein said answers include the code of the small area as well as the code of the correct smaller division of said small area.
A game comprising
- a reference surface illustrating a geographic depiction, said reference surface divided into individually identifiable uniformly sized areas;
- a plurality of questions requesting a specific location and a plurality of answers to said questions, the questions and answers being categorized by region of the geographic depiction to which they pertain;
- and
- means for selectively sub-dividing the uniform areas into smaller identifiable divisions;
- wherein the answers identify the location by said uniform areas and by said smaller divisions.
