    Abstract: A hide and find game includes a first game element to be hidden in a play area and a second, portable game element to be carried by a player through-out the play area. A wireless transmitter is incorporated in one of the first and second game elements to emit a signal of a given strength. A wireless receiver is incorporated in one of the first and second game elements to receive and compare the transmitted signal with a threshold level. The receiver includes a sound generator that is actuable to generate a sound informing the player that a second portable game element has been brought closer than a predetermined distance from the first hidden game piece whereby the player is prompted to find the first, hidden game element. The threshold level is set as a function of the predetermined distance.
