ABSTRACT:
A toy has a housing on which are located a plurality of individual operator buttons. These slide from a first position to a second position. The toy further includes an indicator member which moves from a nonindicating position where the indicator member is located inside of the toy to an indicating position wherein a portion of the indicator member is located outside of the toy. Movement of the indicator member from its position inside the toy to its position outside of the toy is accomplished by movement of one of the buttons. The toy further includes a control mechanism which couples only one of the buttons at a time in a seemingly random manner to the indicator member. After the control mechanism is set, the player or players of the game systematically or haphazardly, as may be the case, move the buttons attempting to discover which of the buttons controls the indicator member. When the proper button is moved the indicator member moves to the indicating position. After successfully choosing the right button, the control mechanism is then reset to change which of the operator buttons controls the indicator member. This resetting is done in a seemingly random manner and when the game resumes once again the operator must find the correct button.
