Abstract

An electronic party game comprises display cards (11a, 11b) for displaying questions to be asked to a player and a response monitor (10) for monitoring the player's psycho-physiological responses to the questions. The response monitor (10) comprises a housing (14) dimensioned to be fitted into the palm of the player answering the questions, the housing having an outside top surface (16) shaped to receive two extended fingers of the player, and a pair of electrodes (26, 27) extending through the top surface, each of the electrodes being positioned to contact one of the extended fingers near the tip thereof, bias means (24) operatively coupled to an outside portion of the housing for selectively biasing the player's fingers against the electrodes, an electronic circuit (15) located within the housing (14) which generates an electric current from one electrode to the other through the player's fingers and a voltage signal correlatable with the change in resistance resulting from the player's response to the questions, and an indicator (28, 29) which generates a signal indicative of the changes in resistance.
