Appl. No.:

12/506595

Inventors:

Phillip J. Best - Crozet VA, US

International Classification:

A63F 9/04

US Classification:

273145CA, 273145 C, 273145 R, 2731381

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a multisurfaced object having at least a first surface and a second surface, with at least a first symbol disposed on the first surface and a second symbol disposed on the second surface. The apparatus also includes a container having an interior compartment and an opening in the container, wherein the multisurfaced object is positioned within the interior compartment, and at least the first surface is visible through the opening. The apparatus further comprises a mechanism associated with the multisurfaced object, adapted to rotate the multisurfaced object such that the second symbol is visible through the opening.

Appl. No.:

13/240408

Inventors:

Phillip J. Best - Crozet VA, US

International Classification:

A63F 9/08
A63F 13/00

US Classification:

2731382, 273146, 273145 CA, 273145 C, 273145 R, 273153 R, 2731381, 463 9, 463 22, 463 32

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and computing device comprising a game for testing the spatial reasoning of a player. The game includes a virtual multi-surfaced object having at least a first surface and a second surface, with first indicia associated with the first surface and second indicia associated with the second surface. A facing surface and a goal surface are displayed on a user interface, which also includes mechanisms for changing the orientation of the virtual object by rotating the object in steps. In response to input from the game player, the virtual object is rotated. Each time the virtual object is rotated, the facing surface displayed is changed so that it correlates to the changed orientation of the virtual object. The game continues until the game player causes the facing surface to match the goal surface by entering a series of rotational moves.
