Abstract:

A game assembly and its method of play. The game assembly has a game board. A three-dimensional underlay is positioned under the game board. Openings are formed through the game board that enable a person to see into the underlay. The underlay is comprised of a basin that is partially occupied with fill material. Search objects are mixed with the fill material. Sometimes the search objects are covered by the fill material, at other times they are not. Cover structures are provided. The cover structures selectively cover the openings in the game board. To play the game, a player selects a search object. A player also selects a cover structure. The cover structure selected by the player is removed and the player looks through the exposed opening for the selected search object. The game is won when a predetermined number of search objects are found by a single player.

Abstract:

An interactive multimedia game conducted by a live human host is described. The game is played in rounds. In each round, the game poses question to teams of players. Team players select answers to each question posed and input their answers using player terminals. There may be more than one answer to the multimedia question posed, and the team players must pick all of the answers. The multimedia questions may have hints to help the team players arrive at correct multimedia answers. The multimedia questions must be answered within a given amount of time. Once time has expired, the correct multimedia answer(s) are revealed to the team players. The game also provides feedback to the teams as to whether they have selected the correct multimedia answer(s). The game awards points to the teams, with team scores determined according to the point of value of the multimedia question. The game then poses a new question.
