In 1975, the game was changed to its current "pop-up tray" format in which the scoreboard and pegs, red block-out squares and four-point star shape were removed. For advanced players, a chosen number of holes were covered, but all shapes were kept in play. For beginners and younger players, a chosen number of holes were covered and their corresponding shapes were removed. The original version also included red "block-out" squares that were used one of two ways. For tie scores, pegs were stacked on top of one another. One point was scored for each shape properly placed in their correct holes if all 25 shapes were inserted before the allotted 60 seconds, one point was also scored for each remaining second left on the clock. The board also included a scoreboard with four stackable pegs of different colors. Its "pop-up" mechanism was an ejector plate situated under the shaped holes and lowered by a PUSH button. The original Perfection game consists of a red and yellow board with 25 shapes.
