Abstract
An interactive toy for playing a game with a user of the toy includes electrical components for producing audible messages to instruct user actions. The toy also includes a hat having a brim movable between up and down positions. The position of the brim determines the play sequence of the toy and the audible messages played thereby by way of an activation mechanism. The toy is switched between 'hide me' and 'locate me' modes based on the position of the brim. An abbreviated trial mode is provided by way of a removable pull tab.
