Abstract
My invention is a puzzle game that is used for entertainment purposes. The game is played on a puzzle cube with cards and window cling markers as additional pieces to the game. The object of the game is for the first person to get all their numbers in a row on the puzzle cube to win. I wanted to still have the fun and excitement of how we have played bingo in the past with a twist. By improving this game it will help to meet the needs of our game players who enjoy bingo.
Description
(1) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cubic's Bingo is a puzzle game that has a prototype product sample that has already been built. The engineers have spent countless hours designing this invention through design strategy implementation (please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 of the prototype product sample). A problem we saw with this invention was it could have been costly to produce. I wanted a product designed that was affordable and easy to manufacture. It was also important to make sure this game would still be fun and easy to play.


(2) BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

My invention Cubic's Bingo is a new 5×5 puzzle cube that you play bingo on. The purpose of the invention is to play bingo in a more advanced way. We would like you to have the same fun and excitement as the regular bingo games but with a new feature a puzzle cube. The Cubic's Bingo game has an advantage it has saved time and money in production. One reason is because we have done away with bingo balls, bingo cage, chips, dabbers and bingo boards like some of the other bingo games. We have designed a cost-effective product that was easy to manufacture which was our priority.





(3) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The drawing in FIG. 1 displays the 5×5 puzzle cube in a square shape for the Cubic's Bingo game. The puzzle cube was designed in place of a bingo board to play bingo in a more advanced way. This puzzle cube is able to turn in dimension. You are able to play two games at once because you play bingo and the colors match up on the puzzle cube. In addition, this will cause a coverall effect across the puzzle cube. Also the puzzle will match up the numbers and colors on the puzzle cube. You will be playing bingo and a puzzle game all at once. There are different ways to bingo including diagonal, horizontal and vertical. In FIG. 2 there is a number 8 bingo card. The bingo card in the Cubic's Bingo game lets the players know where to move the puzzle cube. In FIG. 3, you will notice the image looks rectangular in shape and is slated in the back of the figure. In addition, there is also a fold at the back of FIG. 3, which sits upward in diameter. The figure is designed in blue and white, which is referred to as a window cling marker. In addition, there are circles that are going down on the window cling marker on FIG. 3. The window cling marker is made of adhesive vinyl. It also has circles on the figure that are blue and white with a blue covering over the top of the figure that keeps the image from moving. The window cling marker has white circles on it like stickers but they work like velcro to go around the numbers on the Cubic's Bingo game. It is the part of the game used to stick around the bingo number on the puzzle cube.





(4) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

My invention is a new puzzle game played on a 5×5 puzzle cube. The cards are made of cardstock material. The window cling marker is made of vinyl including the numbers on the 5×5 puzzle cube. The object of the game is to play bingo on the puzzle cube while picking a number from the stack of cards. You draw a card from the deck then you call out the number on the card. If you have the number on your puzzle cube you just put one of the window cling markers on the spot where the number is on the puzzle cube. All you have to do is get all the numbers in a row and the first person to get there row complete will win.


There are also bonus rounds when you shuffle your puzzle cube and match your colors on the puzzle cube for Cubic's Bingo. You are able to play up to six boards on a single puzzle cube at a time. It is important to know the concept of bingo is still the same with this invention. Currently there are no other bingo games that are being played on a puzzle cube. A lot of companies are still playing bingo the old fashioned way with bingo cards, bingo boards, bingo cages, chips and dabbers. One advantage of this game is we have enhanced the bingo game to include a puzzle cube that will still be affordable and easy to play.


We also wanted to leave some room for changes or improvements for market companies in the event a licensing agreement was reached. For example, we wanted potential market companies to be able to have the option to change the packaging if they desired to do so for their brand. Also if the market company wanted to change any of the technical features it could be reviewed and discussed with our product manager.
