ABSTRACT:
A picture identification game apparatus for competitive determination of the identity of the subject matter of a partially exposed picture, such as a photograph or drawing of a well-known person, thing, or member of a select group. The picture is initially concealed with cover pieces of opaque material removably secured in an adjacent relationship to a protective window superimposed in front of the picture. Each of the pieces is uniquely identified by a marking on the exposed surface thereof. The covered picture is then displayed or published to the members of a group of competing participants. By a process which is keyed to the identifying marks, a first one of the opaque pieces is randomly selected and removed, thereby exposing a small portion of the concealed picture. After a predetermined period of time, a second piece is randomly selected and removed, thereby revealing another small portion of the concealed picture. The procedure is continued until one of the competing participants wins by correctly identifying the subject matter portrayed by the picture.
