Abstract

See full text

A method for playing an interactive game (10) between a first player and a second player includes the steps of the first player obtaining a plurality of active first game pieces (14A) that each includes a word-forming indicia (24A), the first player positioning a first active first game piece (14A) onto one of a plurality of designated positions (22) of a game board (12) to at least partially form a first word, and the second player choosing one of two options. The options can include (i) attempting to identify the first word, and (ii) indicating that the second player does not believe the first player can form any word with the first active first game piece (14A) and the remaining active first game pieces (14A). If the second player chooses the first option, the first player can choose to either (i) admit the second player correctly identified the first word, or (ii) position a second active first game piece (14A) on the game board (12) adjacent to the first active first game piece (14A) to at least partially form a second word. If the second player chooses the second option, the first player can choose to either (i) admit that the first player cannot form any word with the first active first game piece (14A) and the remaining active first game pieces (14A), or (ii) position one or more of the remaining active first game pieces (14A) on the game board (12) to completely form the first word.
