Mystery Flips is a square, book-like case that the user flips into the air to reveal the mystery toy. The mystery toy is concealed by a front and back cover like a book. The toy is wrapped around a compressed coil with a cord attached to the top of the coil. The cord goes down through the back-cover wraps around the back of the “book” and is attached to the top of the front cover.
The mystery toy is tossed in the air while it is in the closed position. As the concealed toy flips through the air the force of the coil begins to open the cover by tugging on the cord. The front cover then folds completely open and adjacent to the back cover and the mystery toy is revealed.
The mystery toy can take the shape of multiple characters. For example: Robot, Alien, Animal, favorite characters, or even a simple shape. The toy can then be condensed back into its original state to be flipped again and again for endless fun.
