A collection game apparatus includes a random selection assembly which includes a base portion, a distributor pipe assembly supported by the base portion, and a funnel-shaped perimeter wall supported by a top portion of the distributor pipe assembly. A plurality of objects are provided to be collected, and the objects are grouped into color coded sets. The objects to be collected are randomly distributed by the distributor pipe assembly of the random selection assembly. A plurality of containers are provided for storing and carrying objects that are collected. Preferably, the random selection assembly and the objects to be collected, which are balls, float in water. The base portion of the random selection assembly is inflatable. The distributor pipe assembly includes a pipe-support body supported by the base portion. The pipe-support body includes a riser portion supported by the base portion and a baffle plate supported by a top part of the riser portion. The baffle plate includes a plurality of pipe-receiving apertures. A plurality of pipes are supported by the pipe-support body, and each of the pipes includes a pipe inlet portion elevated above a pipe outlet portion. A ball placed at a pipe inlet portion will roll through a pipe and out the pipe outlet portion under the influence of gravity. Each pipe outlet portion is positioned with respect to the riser portion for discharge of an object from the pipe outlet portion transverse to the riser portion.
