ABSTRACT:
A game for testing the senses comprising a game board having a start area, a finish area, and a playing area positioned between the start and finish. The playing area is divided into a plurality of sequential spaces. Indicia are provided on some of the spaces for providing instructions relating to selection of questions and for manuevering game piece icons through the playing area. Six sets of questions for testing the acuity of the senses are provided. One set of questions is provided for each of the six senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and extrasensory perception. Each of the questions has a point value corresponding to the level of difficulty of the question. A random generator is provided for randomly selecting one of the questions on a turn-by-turn basis to thereby utilize the questions to play the game. The random generator for random selection is preferably weighted such that the random generator is most likely to select a question for touch, less likely to select a question for sight than for taste, hearing, or smell, and least likely to select a question for extrasensory perception.
