Knapp electric Inc. produced several "electronic" games, supplied with a power "cell" or battery. All involved questions and answers and included a mechanism to ring a bell or buzz a buzzer when players answered correctly. The firm's "The Tell Bell" is one such game. Supplied with many different questioning topic cards, the game functioned as an educational tool as well as a toy. This undoubtedly appealed to parents.
