Pros and cons

What we like

  • Electronic puzzle box aimed at adult solvers
  • Self-powered, so no separate power source to plan for
  • Combines electronics with a hands-on puzzle
  • Can sit on a desk or shelf between attempts

What may bother

  • Aimed at adults, so it is not a family game
  • Like most puzzle boxes, the challenge fades once it is solved
  • Limited to one person solving at a time

Our verdict

87 / 100

It is for the recipient who enjoys a tricky object and likes to say they cracked it. Give it to an adult puzzle fan, not a casual player. If the person gets frustrated by puzzles, a lighter game is safer.

Best forAdults who enjoy escape-room-style puzzles
Best occasionBirthday, Christmas

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
