A game device or apparatus of the electronic type where the concept of the game is to find a hidden and random number generated automatically by the electronic apparatus. The game includes a keyboard entry unit by means of which players may select a number in search of the hidden random number and the number so selected will be displayed on a numerical readout display. Once the number has been selected, a test command will compare the selected number with the hidden random number to determine the relationship of the same relative thereto. The selection can either be higher than, lower than, or equal to the hidden random number. If the selection is equal to the hidden random number, the game is completed with a win indication displayed on the display modules on the face of the apparatus. Should the number be higher or lower than the hidden random number, an indication will be provided on the display apparatus of this relationship and the number transferred from its initial position to a higher or lower register wherein it will be displayed. As the game progresses, and after initial selections, the selected number, when found to be higher or lower than the hidden random number will be compared with the next previous selection of a higher or lower number so that its relationship relative to the previous numbers which are stored and displayed on the display modules must be closer to the hidden random number than the previous number or an error situation exists and no transfer of the selected number as a new high or low selection takes place. The keyboard entry unit provides for a clear command to clear the error in the selected number by removing the same from the main keyboard register in the display modules and permits a new try or selection by the player in the search for the random number. The keyboard selection entries together with the logic control operating the display modules are all in binary coded decimal form. The hidden random number is generated by a continuously running clock apparatus whenever the game is energized but not in operation and is determined by initial operation of a keyboard entry unit at the start of a game.
