  • Patent number: 4850592
    Abstract: A mouse maze game includes a rectangular bottom maze board having a recessed central rectangular maze area with pairs of transversely extending longitudinally spaced electrical contact strips. An array of spaced holes are provided in the maze area, between the pairs of electrical contact strips. Pegs are inserted in the holes, and various maze patterns are formed by stretching elastic bands between the pegs to form maze walls. A rectangular top maze board with a recessed bottom surface is removably secured in overlying relation over the bottom maze board, forming a hidden maze area. Pairs of transversely spaced electrical contact strips extend longitudinally from end to end within the recessed maze area on the bottom of the top maze board. Light bulbs are spaced around the periphery of the top maze board. A cylindrical disk shaped mouse having metallic contacts at each end is inserted into the recessed maze area formed between the top and bottom maze boards.
