  • Patent number: 7351148
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and a method of game play for an electronic sequence matching game the may include a pair of elongated stick member that may be operatively coupled together by an electrical cord so the game play for the electronic matching game may be coordinated between the elongated stick members. During the electronic sequence matching game, the elongated stick members may illuminate different colored lights and generate corresponding sounds in particular sequences, and a player must manipulate the sticks to repeat the sequences generated by the elongated stick members. Depending on the mode of game play, the elongated stick members may repeat the sequence with an additional light being added to the sequence each time the player successfully matches the sequence, or the elongated stick members may generate a new sequence that may be longer or played faster than the previous sequence each time the player successfully matches a sequence.
