Pressure activated ball game

摘要

A game device has a ball-activating chamber attached to a central, ball-receiving chamber. Participants compress a pressure mechanism that causes the release of a ball in the ball-activating chamber into the central, ball-receiving chamber. The ball may be acted upon when in the central chamber to add an element of randomness to the game. The central chamber may be at least partially or fully transparent or translucent to allow the participants and/or spectators to view the ball as it travels through the central chamber, ultimately ending at a holding bin. Having more than one ball-activating chamber, the game device may be configured to resemble an octopus.

1. A game device comprising:
a plurality of first chambers, wherein each first chamber of the plurality of first chambers comprises a ball-holding mechanism disposed therein; a plurality of pressure mechanisms, wherein each pressure mechanism of the plurality of pressure mechanisms is connected to one of the plurality of first chambers, and whereby a ball is expelled from a first chamber when a pressure mechanism connected thereto is activated; a second chamber comprising a funnel formed therein, wherein the funnel is configured to receive a plurality of balls and to allow each ball of the plurality of balls to exit one ball at a time from the funnel, wherein each first chamber of the plurality of first chambers opens into the second chamber; and a holding bin configured to receive and collect the plurality of balls in an order of exit from the funnel.
