Tiger Lights Out Cube 7-592 User manual

GETTING STARTED QUICK!

Quick Play:

We have provided the following Quick Play instructions for

those players who want to play LIGHTS OUT CUBE right

now....and catch up on little instruction details later. You

can use this as a quick reference anytime you play! Now get

set to turn the LIGHTS OUT!

Object:

To turn all the lights out on the Cube, but each time you

press a lit or unlit button, it not only changes that button,

but also the adjacent buttons! You must try to turn the

lights out in the minimum number of moves!

Game:

The Lights Out Cube plays very much like our classic Lights

Out game. It contains three different game play modes, but

for purposes of the Quick Start game play, we will begin

with Mode 1, Puzzle 1! Your game contains an On/Off/Reset

button, a Start button (top-left), a Sound button (top right),

a Help Button (lower right) a Puzzle Button (center) and a

Game Button (lower left). All of these button functions can

be found on FACE 1 of your Lights Out Cube. We'll talk

more about each one of these buttons/functions a bit later.

How to Play:

Press the "On/Off/Reset" Button - to turn on the Cube. You'll

see a quick "startup" sequence, and can now choose one of

the following functions (while in this STARTUP mode):

START

- Press to start your game (with your game and

puzzle already selected). Once you press the

START button, all 54 of the puzzle buttons are

now used as LED light buttons for solving

puzzles and not for making further selections.

GAME

- To toggle between the three different game

modes.

PUZZLE

- To select from the available puzzles in the game.

After pressing this button, you are allowed to

select the puzzle you want by using one of the 54

puzzle buttons on the Cube.

SOUND

- To toggle the sound: on/off (can only be used

before startings the game).

HELP

- The HELP function allows you to receive a hint

from the computer. The HELP button will give

you the first move of the puzzle. However, once a

player has pressed any other button, this feature

is disabled until the puzzle is solved or re-started.

NOTE: HELP is not avaiable for puzzles that

require less than 6 steps and is not avaiable for

the final puzzle, puzzle #54.)

HELP:

The HELP function allows you to receive a "hint" from the

puzzles that require less than 6 steps and is not available

for the final puzzle, puzzle #54.)

GAME

Selects between Modes 1, 2, and 3. Press it after you turn

on your game to make your selection. If you need to

change modes in the middle of a game, the easiest way is

to turn the unit off, turn it back on, and then press GAME

to select game. Or if you are in mode 1 or 2, hold the ON/

OFF/RESET button for 2 seconds and the unit will go back

to the puzzle selection mode. Holding the ON/OFF/RESET

button for 2 seconds again, will cause the unit to go back

to the beginning. Then the players can select game mode.

SOUND:

Toggles the sound on or off if you want to play in silence

(on a plane, train or in school!), This feature only works

before a game is started. Press it once to deactivate sound

or twice to regain sound.

If you want to toggle sound during a game, the easiest way

is to use the ON/OFF RESET button to turn the unit off,

then turn it back on, and press SOUND. However, you can

also hold the ON/OFF/RESET button for 2 seconds, and the

unit will go back to puzzle selection mode if it is game

mode 1 or 2. Then you can hold the ON/OFF/RESET button

for 2 seconds again, and the unit will go back to the

beginning. Now, press the SOUND button!

Or you are in mode 3, the first time you hold the ON/OFF/

As you solve this first

puzzle, you can see the

effect the touch of a lit

and unlit button has on

the rest of the Cube.

Touching a button that is

unlit will turn it on. But

the touch of a button,

whether on or off, also

will change the lights

directly above, below or

RESET button, the unit goes back to the beginning.

Now that you have solved a puzzle in Mode 1, you have a

better idea of what it takes to turn the Lights Out!

Remember there are 54 pre-programmed puzzles, millions

of randomly generated puzzles and over 200 quadrillion

possible puzzles in all, just wait to challenge you in 3

different game modes, so you've only just begun!

Use the rest of the instructions that follow to learn how to

solve harder puzzles in Mode 1. Random puzzles in Mode

2, and the option of creating your own puzzles in Mode 3!

Now read on...you've got some work (and fun) ahead of you!

INTRODUCTION

They said it couldn't be done..but here it is. A puzzle more

addictive than all the other LIGHTS OUT games.... You are

holding in your hands the LIGHTS OUT CUBE!

The LIGHTS OUT CUBE is unique because of its' multi-

dimensional approach to puzzle-solving. It's truly a puzzle

with all the angles -- not just a flat puzzle but a six-sided

cube requiring multi-dimensional problem solving!

The object of each game remains similar to our classic

LIGHTS OUT: Turn all of the LIGHTS OUT. It still seems so

easy...at first!

The problem is that every press of a button has an effect

on the puzzle. Lights that are on will shut off, and "off"

lights will turn on. (So, if you touch a button that is lit, it

will shut off. Conversely, touching an unlit button will

cause it to light up).

START

SOUND

GAME

PUZZLE

HELP

ON/OFF/RESET

Moreover, when you touch a button, it not only changes

that light, but it also changes the adjacent lights (those

that are directly above, below, or next to the pressed

button). Every pre-programmed puzzle has a solution.

Your goal is to solve each puzzle in the fewest number of

"moves" or steps.

The first puzzles are simple, to help you get a feel for the

game, and get the basic "logic" behind LIGHTS OUT. Later

puzzles get progressively more challenging, requiring a

little more brain power to solve. Once you start to solve

some of the 54 puzzles in MODE 1, you can try your hand

at MODE 2, which features THOUSANDS of randomly

selected puzzles...or for a real mind-melter, take on MODE

3, and create and solve your own puzzles. (With over 200

QUADRILLION POSSIBLE PUZZLES!!!)

THE LIGHTS OUT CUBE is so addictive, you may not be

able to put it down, but, if you should shut it off for any

reason, the memory function will keep track of your

progress, and let you play from the last puzzle solved.

NOTE: Changing batteries will reset unit to Mode 1 Puzzle.

What follows is a basic guide to the game and its

functions, and a "walk through" of a sample puzzle. So get

to work...its time to turn the LIGHTS OUT!

THE GAME

Before you get started, you may want to become

accustomed to the different buttons and features on your

LIGHTS OUT CUBE game.

START SOUNDGAME

HELP

ON/OFF/

RESET

THE LIGHTS OUT CUBE has 3 different GAME MODES of

play. The goal in all 3 MODES is the same, but each one

provides a different challenge, and beginning players will

probably want to start with MODE 1.

MODE 1 - 54 pre-programmed puzzles, each

progressively more difficult.

MODE 2 - THOUSANDS of randomly selected puzzles.

MODE 3 - Create your own puzzles, and try them out on

a friend!

ON/OFF/RESET:

Turns the game ON or OFF. Your LIGHTS OUT

CUBE will shut off automatically after 3

minutes of non-play. Holding this button for

over two seconds during game play will reset

the game to puzzle selection on modes 1 and

2. If you are in mode 3, it will reset the unit to

game selection.

START: a) Starts each game (after a MODE has been

selected).

b) Confirms an input puzzle (MODE 3)

GAME: a) Selects between MODES 1,2, or 3

SOUND: Toggles the sound ON and OFF. This button

only works before the game starts -- you can

NOT toggle sound once the game begins.

HELP: Receive "hints" from the computer (MODES 1

AND 2). The HELP button will give you the

first move of a puzzle. However, once a player

has pressed a button, this feature is disabled

until the puzzle is solved or re-started. Use

this button INSTEAD OF THE START BUTTON

if you want help. (So press HELP to begin a

puzzle with the first move automatically given

by the unit.)

PLAYING THE GAME

PRESS THE "ON/OFF/RESET" BUTTON to turn on the unit.

You will now see a pattern of lights chasing around the

board. You must now select an option. You could press

START to start a game (the last puzzle played, in the last

mode played), or select a new MODE with the GAMEbutton,

or use the PUZZLE button to select a particular puzzle.

PRESS THE "START" BUTTON. If this is your first time

playing LIGHTS OUT CUBE, four lights on FACE 1 of the

cube will be lit.

To understand the solution to a

puzzle, think of the LIGHTS OUT

CUBE puzzle display in

terms of numbers. Each

button (or light) on the

cube can be assigned a

number from 1 to 54 (see

adjacent illustration)

For Puzzle 1 (Mode 1), you should see buttons numbers

11, 13, 14, 15, and 17 lit up on your display.

Since your goal is to shut off the lights in the fewest

moves possible, you will need to decide which buttons to

press. Remember, each button press effects the

surrounding buttons, so play your moves carefully. For

example, if button 14 is pressed, all of the lights on the

cube will be shut off. Congratulations...you just solved

PUZZLE 1.

LOOPING-

Since the CUBE is 3-dimensional, you have to consider the

LOOPING feature that creeps up in more advanced puzzles.

In a typical puzzle, you'll see that pressing a button has an

effect on adjacent lights. But, since this is a cube, buttons

on the outer rows of each side "wrap-around" to the next

side. So, a button on the right side of FACE 3 is also

adjacent to buttons on FACE 2, and possibly FACE 5 if its

in the top row. Keep this in mind when solving a puzzle.

You'll soon find yourself twisting and turning the cube to

"chase" the lights until they are all out.

SOLVING A PUZZLE

(This example is for Puzzle 11)

Follow the steps below to solve this puzzle in 4 steps -- the

minimum number of moves! This puzzle will be tougher,

since it uses the LOOPING

feature described above!

STEP 1 When you

start, buttons 11, 12,

13, 15, 17, 18, 37,

38, 40, 42, 43, and

44 will be lit. Press button 14.

Pressing button 14 caused

buttons 11, 13, 15, and 17 to

shut off, and the lights next and

below button 14, to turn on.

Buttons 12, 18, 37, 38, 40, 43,

and 44 stayed the same.

STEP 2 Button 15 is now off,

but 14 is lit. Press

button 15. Button 15

will turn on. Buttons

12, 14, 18,and 40 will

turn off and buttons

37, 38, 42, 43, and 44

will stay the same.

After a puzzle has been solved in MODE 1, you can try to

improve your solution by accessing that puzzle again in

MODE 1. To select a played puzzle, just press the button

number corresponding to the puzzle number during puzzle

selection. The game will then start with that puzzle again --

there's no need to press the START button.

Since the CUBE has 6 sides (numbered 1-6) with 9 buttons

on each face, figure that the buttons are numbered this way

FACE 1 #1-9 FACE 2 #10-18 FACE 3 #19-27

FACE 4 #28-36 FACE 5 #37-45 FACE 6 #46-54

Note - You cannot select a puzzle number higher than the

last puzzle you were working on. For example, if the last

puzzle you complete is number 12 in MODE 1, you cannot

select puzzle 14 until you solve 13 first!

Remember, if necessary, you can always shut off the game

and it will return you to the beginning of the last puzzle you

were working on when you're ready to play again! Your

Lights Out Cube game will shut-off automatically after 3

minutes of non-play.

STEP 3 Press

button 40. Now

buttons 38, 40,

41, 42, and 44

are lit. Now you

have 5 buttons

to go.

STEP 4 This is

your final move. The

only lights on the

board are 38, 40, 41,

42, and 44. Press

button 41. All the

lights have gone out

and you have turned

the Lights Out in the

minimum number

of moves! You

should see a

"victory" pattern of

lights chasing

around the entire

display -- Now you

can move on to

puzzle 2!

THE HELP FEATURE

If you seem to be stuck on a puzzle, this is a good way to

get you back on the right track. The Help feature can be

used in MODES 1 and 2 only on puzzles requiring 6 moves

or more. However you cannot receive help for the last

puzzle, puzzle #54.

When you start a puzzle, you can either jump right in by

pressing the START button or you can start a puzzle by

pressing the HELP button instead of the START button in

order to get advice. When you press HELP instead of

START to begin a game, the computer will show you the

best possible move to make, and then automatically make

that move for you. Remember, this help feature can only

be used at the beginning of a puzzle (that means when a

puzzle starts, before you make a move. Pressing a button

makes the HELP feature INACTIVE).

THE SAVE FEATURE

As we mentioned, you can shut off the game and return to

the "current" puzzle at any point. There are a few

exceptions, however. This save feature will not work in

MODE 3 with the player-created puzzles, and the game will

be reset when the batteries are removed for replacement.

SELECTING PUZZLE MODES

Now that you have solved a puzzle in Mode 1, it is time to

learn how to access each of the 3 different Puzzle Modes

in the LIGHTS OUT CUBE.

After turning "the Cube" on, pressing the GAME button

automatically defaults you to MODE 1. Press GAME again

to bring up MODE 2, and a third time for MODE 3.

Mode 1 lets you try to solve 54 pre-programmed puzzles,

each one more difficult than the last. Solving a beginning

puzzle can be as few as 1 step, while the more advanced

puzzled could require 10 steps!

This Lights Out Cube

diagram indicates you are

on puzzle 17 in Mode 1

which should require 6

steps to solve!

During game play, you can escape from the current puzzle

and select another puzzle to play. You can choose any

puzzles ranging from the 1st to your highest achieved one.

(You cannot select a puzzle higher than your LAST

SOLVED PUZZLE)

For selecting the first 9 puzzles, press PUZZLE, then the

desired puzzle number (on FACE 1) to start the game. For

the next 9 puzzles, you can input the number by pressing a

button on FACE 2.

This follows for all puzzles through #54.

For example,

For puzzle #17, press the bottom-middle button on FACE 2.

Or for puzzle #28, press the top-left button on FACE 4.

If the selected puzzle number is bigger than the most

updated puzzle number, then it is an invalid input and you

will hear a "beep" sound. You then should input a puzzle

number again. If the input is valid, the game starts again.

You can restart the game by pressing the ON/OFF/RESET

button for over 2 seconds and then pressing the number

button of the puzzle.

To change the mode in the middle of a game, the easiest

way is to turn off the unit, then turn it back on and press

the GAME button to select game. Or if in mode 1 or 2,

holding the ON/OFF/RESET button over 2 seconds causes

the unit to go back to the puzzle selection mode. Holding

the ON/OFF/RESET button over 2 seconds again causes the

unit to go back to the beginning. Then you can select your

game mode again.

REMEMBER

The challenge of The Lights Out Cube is to solve a puzzle

in the minimum number of moves required. When you

solve a puzzle in the minimum number of moves, you will

be rewarded with a blinking light show chasing around the

entire display. The Lights Out Cube will then automatically

display the next puzzle! If you go over the minimum

number of moves, the number of moves you exceed by

will flash on your display, but you can still proceed to the

next puzzle as long as you do not exceed 10 moves!

For example, solving a 4 step puzzle in 6 steps will display

two blinking lights! If you solve a puzzle in more than 10

steps over the minimum number of moves, a lighted "X"

will appear on screen and you will have to try again before
