We bought this as a secret Santa gift. The person we bought it for loved it! He said it took him about 20 mins to figure it out . The only thing I didn't like is the gift card didn't fit in the slot and we had to open it to put it in. But it was a great gift!

I was very confused how to open this until I applied a little pressure to one of the "turny" bits. Without giving too much away, there is a bit that looks like it should be turned but the sloppy shellac finish of the box made the turny bit glued in place. If you are trying to be careful and not break the seal on the shellac, you may never figure it out. So make sure you apply enough force to twist the center medallion.

The rest of the puzzle is not difficult to figure out. I expect my 7 year old daughter to figure out it, now that I broke the seal.

It is not super craftsmanship, so you still need to be delicate with it.

Idea for gift for a child who you would otherwise give cash: buy some real silver or gold bullion and put it in there. The resale value of gold or silver is high, so the gift receiver can sell the gold or silver back to the store. You can get nice silver coins for $20 each, and a gold coin for $200.

For the price, it would be hard to top this for it's intended purpose. The quality is good and this easy enough to solve.

I love my puzzle boxes and puzzle toys. My personal collection is over 30 right now (this one not included because this was a gift). I am also an Escape Room junky with over 20 rooms completed.

When the puzzle box arrived I was very surprised by the quality when compared to the price. Yes I own better quality boxes or more complex boxes but I have paid over 100 dollars for them. However not many people would pay that money to give away as a gift holder. The puzzle itself is clever enough and is fun to open.

For me this puzzle was a simple solve. It took me less than 2 minutes to solve with no hints. It took my 12 year less than 5 minutes to solve with no hints. My 10 year old took about 10 minutes to solve with a few hints. My 6 year old was over 10 minutes with way too many hints :)

The intended reason for my purchase was to give as a gift holder for a white elephant exchange. It was a hit! Everyone wanted it and multiple folks solved it. All in all the box was solved at least 20 or more times and there had been no issues. Yes you can't be rough with it but it did just fine for the multiple times it was solved.

Overall if you are looking for a cheap gift holder or a box to play around with... You have found it with this one. I highly recommend this one!

Bought for my 14 year old daughter as a Christmas gag gift, she loved it!

I was looking for a puzzle box to put some cash in to give to my kids for Christmas. I don't have much experience with puzzle boxes but in this case, I wanted something a little challenging but not super hard. This box fit the bill. It takes longer than just opening a card, but its not so hard that they get frustrated and give up.
