ABSTRACT:
A child's game which comprises a toy capable of spinning in a circular motion or path and then travelling in a straight or substantially straight line at the end of its travel path and an arena which is provided with a wall surrounding the arena perimeter, the wall having a single opening therein through which a toy can travel, the arena also having a central start area and other designated areas therewithin for use in playing the game. The designated areas can be sectors, one side of which is an arc formed by the wall and the perimeter of the arena. Each of the sectors has a predetermined designation in accordance with the rules of the game. The toy has a set of wheels which, upon being caused to rotate at high speed, causes a flywheel within the toy to rotate, raise one wheel from the arena surface, and permit the toy to travel in a circular path when placed in the center of the arena until the flywheel has reduced its speed to some predetermined point whereupon both of the wheels are on the ground and the toy will then travel in a straight path. The toy will either travel out of the arena through the opening in the perimeter wall or it will move forward and bump into the wall and land in one of the sectors.
