3.0 out of 5 stars Money Maze Puzzle Bank, January 18, 2008

By 

Joan (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MagNif Money maze Puzzle (Toy)

The Bank was received on time and in good condition. It was purchased as a Christmas gift. I give a gift of money each year to my best friend's daughter, and each time I try to present the gift in an unusual way. Since she is very bright and is good with math, I thought the Money Maze Puzzle Bank would fit that bill perfectly. I was there when she opened it. All I can say is, make sure the recipient reeealllly likes mazes! Either that or give it to someone you want to frustrate. ;-) She gave up after about 10 to 15 minutes. A few others gave it a try and gave up as well. I like mazes so I enjoyed the challenge--it took me 15 to 20 minutes to get it open ... on the second try! I'd say it's enough of a challenge for someone like me who enjoys mazes but is not an expert, possibly not enough of a challenge for an expert, and too frustrating for someone who doesn't like mazes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the initial position of the ball., December 23, 2008

The toy is great and pretty challenging. The only thing that you have to be aware is that the ball comes preloaded to be close to the end, and such can be quickly navigated to the opening position. If you want to increase difficulty for the gift recipient, make sure to navigate the ball as far as possible from the opening position.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are wondering - a gift card fits well, December 19, 2008

I purchased two of these for my nephews for Christmas. Both asked for gift cards, but I wanted to make the gift a litter funner. I just received the money mazes today. I had concerns that a gift card may not fit in the opening - but the product I received has a square opening at the top, not circular as the picture shows - so it must have been redesigned a little bit. I'm not sure how easy it is to solve the puzzle as I haven't given the gifts yet - but gift cards definitely fit.
