Abstract: A target game device played with a ball or other projectile for use in places such as amusement parks, arcades or the home is disclosed. An essential element of the game device is that a variety of special effects are used to add excitement as a player gets closer to winning and continue after winning. The game device consists of one or more targets at which a projectile such as a ball is tossed or rolled by one or more players of the game. In the preferred embodiment, the main target is the open-ended top of a cylinder in the center of a volcano-shaped game housing. The balls or projectiles are collected in the cylinder as players of the game successfully toss the balls into the target opening at the top of the housing. As the balls pass into the target, a game status display tabulates the score of the game.

Abstract: A water target game played with a ball or projectile for use in places such as amusement parks or the home is disclosed. The preferred embodiment consists of a circular target supported by a pole which is placed between two pods with spray nozzles. A water supply hose connects to the base of the target. Inside the base are control valves which regulate the flow of water to the spray nozzles in the pods. A motion sensor is located in the circular target. Indicator lights prompt players when to throw a projectile through the target. A control unit connects to the motion sensor, indicator lights and control valves. A player(s) stands on each pod holding a projectile. An indicator light flashes on the pole prompting the player(s) on one pod to throw. If the player(s) successfully throws the projectile through the target, the motion sensor signals to the control unit to activate the valves whereby water is sprayed on the opposing player.
