Abstract:

A hook and ring game apparatus and method includes a hook device having a mounting portion with a longitudinal axis substantially transverse to a surface. The hook device further including an arcuate portion extending from the mounting portion forming a sweep of about one-hundred and eighty degrees terminating in a cantilever beam having an acute angle to the surface. Further included is a ring assembly having a tether with a first end portion freely suspended from a selected position in an overhead support and a second end portion adjacent to a ring being operational to freely swing a pendulum type of movement relative to the overhead support. The ring and hook are operational to form a chance element to removably engage one another as the ring moves through the arc path potentially contacting with the hook, with either the ring removably engaging the hook or not engaging the hook.
