Summary: Working for your money!
Comment: A nice little puzzle. However, the BilzBox may have a flaw, not in design or construction, but in its instructions. I solved the ball matrix in just a few minutes (moderate dexterity required, so maybe for ages 12 & up), however, it would not open. The problem was that the giftor had placed a check on TOP of the plastic drawer, not IN it. This allows the paper check to interfere with the ball motion in the last inch or so, making it very difficult for the push-latch to work. The giftor may not have followed directions to put the check INSIDE the plastic drawer, or maybe the loading instructions were not clear or even non-existant. Put the gift INSIDE the drawer, and all works quite well.

Summary: Huge Christmas Hit
Comment: Bought three Blitz boxes for Christmas last year. One for my son-in-law with a gift card in it; one each for my then 6th grade and 8th grade grandsons with money in them. They were the hit of the day. Once they opened these gifts, they wanted to stop and solve the puzzles. All other presents had to wait. A bit frustrating for the last one to solve th puzzle, but they just loved them. My daughter has a funny video of the three "boys" on the floor, in their pj's, working intently on the puzzles while some other gifts sat unopened. Will do this again this year for all family members, especially if I can find some different mazes. Great fun gift.

Summary: Great fun for kids
Comment: My sister gave money to my oldest son in the Bilz Box one year, so my younger son requested that he be given money in one of the boxes later on because he remembered how much fun it was to work for the money. Great gift idea if you're giving money to an older child.

Summary: great
Comment: 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.

Summary: You're gonna hafta EARN your gift...
Comment: Every Christmas I take a trip down to this little town to celebrate the Yuletide with some family friends. A few years back one of these family friends-- a big puzzle & brain-teaser buff-- gave me a department store gift card... imprisoned in a Bilz box. I took on the challenge of moving the little ball through the maze to the spot where it would fill the gap between the release button and the drawer spring, allowing me to free the gift card from its incarceration. It turned out to be a fun and challenging, yet slightly frustrating experience. It took me several minutes just to get the ball going down one particular corridor... but when it finally did, I knew it was well on its way to "the promised land." It took me about twenty minutes to figure it out the first time `round; after endless attempts in the interim, however, I'd managed to get my time down to just under two minutes before the release switch finally broke from being pushed down a zillion times. Hey, what did'ja expect from a container that's almost totally plastic?

On my first day of work at a comic-and-collectibles shop after my Christmas break, I showed the owner the Bilz box, and gave him a few suggestions on how it could be used for promotional purposes. My main idea was to toss a $25.00 store gift certificate in it, and hold some sort of drawing where the winner can claim the gift certificate if he/she can solve the Bilz box puzzle within a given period of time. Although he took my idea into consideration, the promotion was never implemented. Oh well, it wasn't the first concept of mine that never got off the ground...

Bottom line: release-button durability notwithstanding, the Bilz box is a neat twist on the giving of money or gift certificates as a holiday or birthday gift. All in all, it's a lot better than some silly ol' greeting card...
