ABSTRACT:
A combination game apparatus is provided having a housing with a plurality of settable dials each having indicia thereon. Setting the correct combination on the game dials provides an output for indicating when a correct input combination has been set on the settable dials. The combination setting members are used for changing the combination necessary to indicate the correct input combination for unlocking the combination. The combination setting system includes a plurality of input members each having a combination setting, such as a coded opening in a flat card. Each combination setting member is placed in a covering sleeve so that it may be inserted into the game apparatus from the covered sleeves so that the combination being set cannot be seen by the players. The game may include a ball which is raised in a lift and dropped into a ball track where it passes through an opening in the track as determined by the first dial which determines which of a plurality of ball chutes the ball will move in. Selecting the right track allows the ball to pass through the opening in the combination setting member and proceed to the next dial settable ball track having an opening therethrough to select a second chute of a set of chutes so that selecting the correct chute will feed the ball to the coded opening in the second combination setting flat plate and allow the ball to continue selecting the correct combination which unlocks the combination lock.
