Electronic game device and method of using the same

Electronic game device and method of using the same description/claims

This invention relates generally to an electronic game device, and in particular, to an electronic game device with a variety of game playing features.

There are many types of electronic game devices. Typically, these electronic game devices have one or more buttons that a user can press to provide input to an activity on the electronic device. The repeated pressing of the same button or buttons to play a game may render an electronic device unappealable and boring. Such electronic devices lack the ability to provide creative, dynamic and enjoyable game play for a user.

Thus, a need exists for an electronic game device that includes creative ways for a user to select answers and to play a game. Further, there is a need for an interactive electronic game device that continuously changes the play pattern or use of the game device.

An electronic game device in accordance with the present invention comprises a housing that has several side walls or surfaces. A display screen is disposed on one of the sides. The display screen is configured to present a question to the user of the electronic device. The electronic game device includes several mechanisms that vary the methods in which a user can play the game.
