Abstract
The philosophy of games is to provide a mental challenge to the person who is playing the game. With this game a person can build the game according to that person's wants and desires and in this case a dodecahedron is used; the dodecahedron is color coded and an interior sphere is placed with the dodecahedron. Clues that have been placed in pockets of the outside surface of the dodecahedron will consist of locations where coins are hidden. These coins will be gathered and the dodecahedron is manipulated. The interior sphere contains the solution to the game or a prize and is initially locked prior to the start of the game. As the contestants play the game and “solve” the puzzle, the interior sphere is unlocked and the solution or prize is revealed. The game can be structured to the desires of the individual builder as often as possible.
