Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses an amusement maze. The maze of the present invention 10 can be located indoors and consists of a plurality of pivotal wall panels 16 whereby each panel may pivot to open a passage way or close a passage way creating a new maze pattern. Each wall panel unit consists of two pivotal panels 16 mounted to a pillar 18. Each unit is computer controlled and can flip the panels 16 back and forth by means of a servomotor 40 mounted to each pillar 18. When a plurality of units are joined together, they create cells 22. The cells 22 create the maze. Located within each cell 22 is a motion sensor 51, a voice-activated panic alarm 52, a hand-activated panic button 48 and direction lights 20 that may lead a player 12 to the nearest exit 24. All are safety features linked to the main monitor 62 and computer 60. The main computer 60 is located in a building out side of the maze in the attendant's room 58.

Abstract: A toy maze comprising a container with a ball having a plurality of passage levels with vertically extending wall segments forming passageways. Each level is separated by a tray having a plurality of apertures, some of which are trap-holes with a mechanism for limiting the movement of the ball to only one direction.In a preferred embodiment of the toy maze of the present invention, the mechanism for limiting the movement of the ball to only one direction comprises at least one flexible flap which flexes to permit the ball to pass through an aperture from one level to the next level and resiliently blocks reverse movement of the ball.

Abstract: A pyramid-shaped puzzle including a plurality of maze-panels intermediate the vertex and base of the pyramid, each maze-panel having a plurality of holes through it. One or more balls is dropped through an opening in the vertex and the puzzle is manipulated by a player to guide the ball to a designated location in the base.

Abstract: A gameboard, having a recessed playing area, with a series of pivoted shapes, each being a portion of a geometrical shape, secured in spaced relation in the recessed area, and a freely movable, mating piece for each geometrical shape, provides a maze having the object to move randomly placed free pieces to their mating pivoted pieces.

Abstract: A cube is provided with four side walls, and an open bottom and top. Mounted within the cube is a flip-flop unit made up of three wings, one wing being longer than the other two so that when a marble is dropped in the cube, the flip-flop unit will rotate until the longer wing is in contact with one of the side walls. A plurality of each such cubes are provided in order to teach adding and subtracting in the binary system and to perform many other functions.
