Disclosed is an electronic game apparatus that in its preferred embodiment may be used either to play a game of musical concentration or else as a musical instrument. The apparatus is provided with an on-off switch, four mode buttons and a 5 by 5 keyboard having 24 active designator buttons. When the apparatus is placed in the musical instrument mode, each keyboard button is associated with a different musical note in the chromatic scale; thus the instrument is capable of playing two full chromatic octaves. When the apparatus is operated in one of its game modes, (some of which may be "easy"; other "difficult") a number of different tunes, each having an average length of approximately ten notes, are each assigned by the apparatus at the commencement of a game to a pair of designator buttons of the keyboard in a random or apparently random manner unknown to the players at the game's commencement. For each turn of play, a player depresses a first designator button, hears at least a portion of the tune assigned to that button, and then attempts to match it with the other button also assigned to that same tune by depressing a second designator button.
