Quiet Zone Game

Project Number: 67

OBJECTIVE: Make and play the electronic game of "Quiet Zone".

Description: Use the circuit from Project #66, but place two 2-snap wires ("shorting bars") under the paper sheet as shown on the left. Setup: Player 1 sets the "Quiet Zone" by placing 2 shorting bars under the paper on row B, C, or D, leaving only one open. Both Player 1 and Player 2 are given 10 points. The object is for Player 2 to guess the location of the "Quiet Zone" by placing his shorting bar at positions X, Y, or Z. In the drawing on the left Player 1 set up the "Quiet Zone" at position "C". If Player 2 places his shorting bar across "Z" on the first try, the sounds played mean he has not found the "Quiet Zone" and he loses 1 point. He has three (3) tries to find the zone on each turn. Player 2 then sets the B, C, D side and Player 1 starts searching. The play continues until one player is at zero points and makes sound during that player's turn.
