great, January 9, 2007
Bought 4 of these for christmas. 2 for the little grandsons, 1 for the big grandson, and 1 for the big, big son. Put $10 and $20 in them. It was the hit of the "present openings". Once they opened these and started trying to get the money out everything else came to a stop. Forget the other presents. They had a ball. I would recommend this product highly.

Bilz Box Rocks, October 21, 2005
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
I found one secondhand at a Flea Market, with no directions. I loaded myself to see if I could solve it. I plan to give it to my son, a high school freshman (probably as a Christmas gift). I did solve the puzzle, and found it to be challenging. I got very frustrated after about five hours, thinking maybe I'd made a mistake, then...one more turn, and "voila", the ball dropped into the right space, and I was able to open the box. I am going to buy another one for my son's half-brother (same age). They are at the age when all they want is money anyway. Giving it to them in a puzzle adds a level of challenge to the process. It isn't just handing them some bucks, and "oh, yeah, thanks". They both adore video games, so I am sure they have the hand/eye coordination to solve it quicker than I did. It gives them a chance to wait and anticipate, instead of immediate gratification. I wouldn't give it to a young child, though. I wouldn't have considered such a gift any earlier than this year. I don't think it is appropriate for a child younger than high school age.

Perfect for giving money as a gift, December 12, 2005
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
The BILZ BOX money maze toy is the size of a VHS cassette tape. A perfect way of giving teenagers money for gifts instead of an envelope with a silly bow on it. kids appreciate the money you give them if there's a gimick to getting to the cash.
Although a good gift for a teenager, it's not for those who are impatient, get frustrated easily, have problems solving maze-type puzzles, or a less-than-average IQ. I wouldn't recommend it for the very young. It comes with a cheater's card the giver should keep in case of over-frustration in solving. It also fits well with a VHS tape collection (same size) storing and future playing.
My Mother gave three of these BILZ BOX money-maze toys with money inside, to 3 of grandchildren one Christmas. It was a Christmas Morning hit! After the kids got their money out, dollar bills were put in for others to try. People played with them all day long.
