Abstract:
A timed approach sensing game apparatus comprising:a housing;an electronic circuit within said housing;sensing means within said circuit for sensing the presence of a player within proximity to said housing while said sensing means is activated;manually activated start and stop members each manually accessible on an exterior surface of said housing;alarm means connected to said circuit for sounding an alarm only when said start member has been activated and only when said sensing means is activated and detects the presence of the player;first timing means within said circuit for deactivating said sensing means for a predetermined first time period during which the player may quickly move out of the effective sensing range of said sensing means, said timing means activated by manually actuating said start member;second timing means within said circuit for automatically activating said sensor means for a second time period immediately following the end of said first time period;said stop member operably connected to said circuit for allowing the player to stealthfully approach the apparatus without activating the sensing means to deactivate said sensor means or otherwise disarm said alarm means during said second time period while said sensing means is activated;said circuit automatically activating said alarm means if said stop member has not been manually activated by the player at the end of said second time period to indicate that the player has lost.
