The blue sky background fills most of the top half of the cover.

The target is assembled from three cardboard pieces: a tower, a roof, and a chimney.

The tower has four sides, each side (5 3/8" wide, 6 1/2" high at the center, 5" high at each side) showing multicolor stones (red, yellow, blue, etc.) and wooden boards in the shape of a hexagon. Each side has a pointed top plus an opening on one of the top diagonals to the center, which is hexagonal. The bottom of each side is "M"-shaped.

The roof (6 1/4" square) shows red bricks and has a hole (1 1/4" in diameter) at center for the chimney, which holds a bell inside the tower.
