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.

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.

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.

We had a lot of fun with this at our family Christmas dinner. I started out with $5 and added $1 every so often. The one who opened it got to keep the money!

I tried several similar puzzles - this is the best one. Great idea and design. It is not that difficult, but does take time and most enjoy solving it

Great fun and a clever way to give a cash gift!
We enclosed some cash in this puzzle box as an exchange gift. It was an instant hit! Many people were excited to have a turn at trying to solve the puzzle. The maze puzzle was definitely challenging and someone finally solved it after about 45 minutes of diligence. The compartment inside is large enough to hold some jewelry or a nanopod, as well. The construction of the puzzle itself was sturdy. I highly recommend the Money Maze Bank Puzzle.

A fun brain workout. Took my 16 year old daughter 30 minutes to get her gift card out of it. She loved the challenge. A bit frustrating for my 12 year old - but a good brain workout! I bought an extra one for a future gift. I recommend this item!

The products were shipped in a timely manner without any damage or deffects. Great gift for family and friends. I would recommend this product to friends and family! Provides hours of fun and amusement!

We bought these for our 3 nephews for Christmas, and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the boxes. We assumed it would be cheap, and easily breakable, but it was much nicer than we expected.

It was also much harder to solve than I imagined, too, so not the best for little children. Actually, my 10th grade nephew gave up, and managed to pull the cash out without solving the puzzle using a slim ruler. It took me a while to solve it, too, when I tested one. Maneuvering the ball around is not hard at all, but the inability to see where you need to move it to on a 6 sided box makes solving it quite a bit harder than you think it will be.

Last I heard, the two other boys were still trying to get the money out. Hopefully they didn't break it to access the cash.

Loved it. Purchased 5 to give to grandkids (ages 8-12). Put their "money" gift inside the bank puzzle instead of the usual greeting card and wrapped it up for xmas. The 8yr old needed help, but others all managed on their own. Moderately difficult for this age group, but not impossible. It was entertaining for the kids & for the adults watching. The kids loved it. One of the grandkids is going to pass it on to her best friend with a birthday gift card inside.
