摘要： An educational maze navigated through responses to questions provided at points in the maze enhances factual assimilation and retention for the user. The user selects responses to travel through the maze and is not immediately informed whether the selected responses are correct. Various indications can be provided to inform the user about the correctness of responses or whether they are on a path towards the maze exit. The indications may be dead ends, loops, suggested reference materials or other information that tends to assist the user in assimilating facts or navigating the maze. The user may receive a reward for providing correct responses or successfully completing the maze. The problem-solving and cognitive judgment skills applied to navigate the maze tends to help users assimilate and retain the factual information represented by the queries and responses.

摘要： A gaming apparatus for allowing players to explore decisions made in response to changing circumstances and to engage with the contradictions of competing needs. The gaming apparatus comprises a game board and game pieces. The board game is divided into an inner play area and an outer play area that surrounds the inner play area. An outer game piece traversing the outer play area determines functionality of one or more inner game pieces positioned on the inner play area. In each round of a game play, a player is either a Giver or a Taker, and moves inner game pieces according to their Point of View. Players' Points of View may exchange in every round. A player's goal is to be the Giver, since only the Giver can win. However, the Giver only wins when all four blue human being game pieces from a pyramid and meet Eye to Eye.

摘要： An educational toy is provided which includes a block of material, preferably a solid block of wood or plastic in the shape of a board and with a plurality of holes extending completely therethrough. A number of pegs are also provided which fit loosely into the holes in the board and have a corresponding cross sectional shape as the holes. In preferred embodiments, these pegs are substantially longer than the thickness of the board so that they protrude upwardly from the board when placed in position in the holes with the board on a table or other flat backing surface. One side of the board includes respective letters of the alphabet adjacent the holes, while the other side of the board includes the numbers 1 to 26 adjacent the respective holes. Each of the pegs is provided at one end with a letter and at the opposite end with a number, so that a matching of the letters on the pegs with the letters adjacent the holes can be accommodated with one side of the board facing upwardly, while a matching of the numbered ends of the pegs with the numbered holes is accommodated when the board is turned over. In preferred embodiments, the alphabet is arranged in rows on the board, as is the number arrangement at the opposite end of the board, and each of these rows are colored a different color, with the respective pegs being correspondingly colored, so that subgroups of the alphabet and/or of the numbers, can be easily matched by the color code indication on the board and the pegs. In particularly preferred embodiments, additional through holes are arranged near one side of the board to accommodate insertion of the pegs therein to form different words and/or to carry out different simple arithmetic steps, with an additional set of pegs having the vowels at one end thereof and arithmetic symbols at the opposite end thereof. Certain preferred embodiments include braille indicia for the respective colors, letters, and numbers, so as to accommodate use of the toy by blind persons.

摘要： An interactive audio puzzle solving, game playing, and learning tutorial system includes a microphone for receiving speech from a user. An electronic subsystem includes an analog-to-digital converter for converting the speech to digital signals, a speech recognition engine responsive to the analog-to-digital converter for translating the digital signals into user input data, a memory for storing the user input data, rules associated with a type of puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial, and initial data associated with a specific puzzle, game and/or learning tutorial, a logic engine for generating a decision output based on the user input data, and/or the rules and/or the initial data, a speech generation engine responsive to the decision output for providing digital speech representing the decision output, and a digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital speech to analog signals. An audio output device responsive to the analog signals converts the analog signals to output auditory speech, and wherein the speech from the user and the output auditory speech establish an interactive auditory dialogue for solving a puzzle, playing a game and/or learning from a tutorial.

摘要： A game board apparatus (10) includes a channel (12) that contains and guides a game position marker (11) to a game position marker station as selected by a game player. An access channel (28) serves to provide convenient access to both the marker (11) and the channel (12) to facilitate such selected movement and positioning. Pressure exerted on the apparatus in the vicinity of the game position marker (11) will cause the game position marker (11) to close an electric circuit that includes two opposing electrodes (13 and 15). Completion of this circuit in turn can serve to energize a corresponding alert (such as a visual cue, an auditory cue, and the like). In a preferred embodiment, two such game boards are coupled one to the other to facilitate game play.
