PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To play a game using the whole body by a method wherein a plurality of light emitting parts are arranged in rows, a detecting light emission part is disposed midway through the rows or at the end thereof to detect the presence of an object, the light-emitting parts are turned on and off by a control means, and the issue of a game is decided by the output of the detecting light emission part. SOLUTION: For playing a game, a player gets on two detecting light- emission parts 6, with one leg on each of the parts, and coins are thrown into a coin device 2 to start the game. After a signal such as proper shout is called, the light emitting parts 3 are successively turned on and off from the upper most one to the lower one to provide a belt of light flowing downward. When the belt of light reaches the part 6, the foot is removed from the part 6 to play the game. If this play is cleared, the pattern in which the parts 3 are turned on and off is upgraded. If the foot of the player is in contact with the surface of land while the part 6 is emitting light, the game is finished.
