Abstract
A game apparatus which comprises an upper surface and a lower surface which together define an intermediate chamber. The upper surface has a plurality of apertures each of which is provided with a closure device such as a pair of shutters, a sliding door, or a hinged lid. Movement of the apparatus randomly positions a ball within the chamber at one of a number of locations on the lower surface of the apparatus. A retrieval device is inserted through a selected aperture and if the ball is beneath that aperture the retrieval device magnetically connects thereto and permits the removal of the ball from the intermediate chamber.
