Abstract
A hidden image game piece is formed on a transparent or translucent substrate which is part of an optical disc (e.g., a CD or DVD). The hidden image can be used to contain a “key” which is required to gain access to the data contained on the optical disc, thereby aiding in the prevention of that type of piracy of the content of the optical disc which could be accomplished by a simple disc-to-disc copy.
Claims24
A game piece with a hidden image comprising:
- a substrate comprising a first substantially transparent portion of an optical disc, said optical disc having a second portion which has a metallized layer formed thereon;
- a first visible layer comprising an image formed in a first color, said first layer being formed in a manner which will assist in obfuscating an image to be hidden;
- a second visible layer containing an image to be hidden, said second layer being formed in said first color;
- and
- a third visible layer comprising an image formed in a second color, said second color being distinct from said first color, said third layer being formed in a manner which will assist in obfuscating said image to be hidden which is on said second layer.
