Abstract
A game or toy device into which the player enters a random number is disclosed. The random number is entered by rotating a handle after which a plunger is depressed. Entry of the random number may permit free depression of the plunger and thereby allow the plunger to activate a pitching mechanism for ejecting a substance (such as water or paper confetti) in the direction of the game player.
Claims1
A game device wherein a player chooses a random number that determines whether an element of said game is activated, said game comprising:
- a rotatable member, rotated by the player through a number of discrete angular positions equal to the random number;
- a plunger, wherein the player attempts to activate the plunger after rotating said rotatable member;
- a first member cooperating with said rotatable member, wherein said first member constrains or permits movement of said plunger as determined by the cooperation between said rotatable member and said first member;
- wherein when movement of said plunger is allowed by said first member, a second member is activated;
- and
- wherein the second member further comprises a container for carrying a substance to be ejected from said container upon activation of the second member.
