An electronic time reaction game apparatus which is capable of being played by one or more players and which comprises a housing having a pair of opposed player ends. A microprocessor is located in the housing and may be suitably operated by a convenient source of power, e.g., conventional battery power. A pair of player actuable response switches and a plurality of player response lights are located at each player end. One of the response switches is forward acting and the other is rearward acting. The microprocessor initiates a game cycle by causing generation of a player ready signal and, after a randomly varying time interval, or apparent randomly varying time interval unknown to the player or players, initiates and causes generation of a player start signal. The player or players attempt to anticipate the action of the opponent player and select the proper one of their response switches to actuate in order to maximize their score, and after the start signal, each actuates their selected response switches as quickly as possible in order to generate a score. The generated score is depicted by energization of one or more of the lights at the player end of the player first actuating the proper response switch.

An electronic time reaction game capable of being played by one or more players, said game comprising: (a) a base means, (b) electronic processing means associated with said base means for initiating a game cycle by generating a player sensory perceptive ready signal, initiating a randomly or apparently randomly varying time interval of duration unknown to the player and generating a player sensory perceptive start signal at the end of said time interval, (c) player actuable response means on said base means and being operatively connected to said electronic processing means and where a player of the game attempts to react to the start signal and actuate the response means as quickly as possible to achieve a score, and (d) response time indicating means on said base means and being operatively connected to said electronic processing means to generate a player sensory perceptive response time indicative of player response time. A method of playing an electronic time reaction game operable with an electronic processing means capable of initiating a game cycle, generating a player sensory perceptive ready signal, initiating a randomly or apparently randomly varying time interval of duration unknown to the players of the game, and generating a player sensory perceptive start signal at the end of said varying time interval, said method comprising: (a) awaiting a start signal, (b) attempting to anticipate an adverse action which would reduce the player\s score and determining which of a pair of actuable player response switches should be actuated in response to said start signal and the anticipation of the adverse action in order to maximize the player\s score, (c) actuating either of said pair of actuable player response switches as quickly as possible in response to the generation of the start signal and achieving a score if the response to the start signal and acutation of the response switches was quick enough generate a score, and (d) thereafter awaiting subsequent ready signals and start signals and actuating the player response switches as quickly as possible after each start signal in an attempt to maximize a player\s score.
