ABSTRACT:
A liquid game amusement system that operates under the principle that atmospheric pressure acting on a cover member will maintain a quantity of liquid contained within a container when the container is inverted. A cup-like container is filled with liquid and a planar cover member is placed contiguous to a rim portion of the container. The container and cover member are inverted and releasably secured to a vertically directed stand. The cover member has hook elements passing from a lower surface thereof. An operator spins a dial or spinner element on a game board and termination of the rotation of the spinner in a particular indicia zone of the game board determines a particular weight element to be used by the operator. The operator chooses the particular weight element and locates himself or herself under the combined container and cover member. The operator then secures the weight element to one of the cover hook elements extending from the cover. If the atmospheric pressure still produces a greater upward force on the cover member than the opposing downward gravity force of the liquid within the container, the cover remains in place and the liquid is maintained within the container. The next operator repeats the same process and eventually, the combined weight of the various weight elements and the gravity force of the liquid within the container causes the cover to be released from the rim portion of the container and the operator at that time is doused with the liquid from within the container.
