ABSTRACT:
A game for testing reflex and reaction times in people is provided. The game has a vertical housing mounted to a planar base. The vertical housing defines a channel enclosing a pair of shafts. A card is provided to move along a first shaft and a lifter is provided to move along a second shaft. The lifter engages the card and sets it in an upper limit. A solenoid keeps the card at its upper limit. A start button enables the solenoid to release the card permitting downward movement of the card. A pair of finger grabbers inserted through side walls of the housing enable a player to grab the falling card. Prize lines on a front surface of the card determine if a player has won a prize. A cheat detection system is additionally provided to prohibit a player from grabbing the card before it has initiated downward movement.
