REA Reaction

With the A-maze-ing Safe, I continually fed it quarters until I learned how to solve it, and all my money was returned to me. It was a pretty fun gimmick.

At first, the A-maze-ing Safe was pretty impenetrable. Upon inserting the coin, a ball bearing would be released into a maze. Unfortunately, it wasn’t clear where exactly it had been released, where it was supposed to go, or even if I’d failed and needed to reset. I wasted a lot of time early on doing nothing, and not really understanding why I couldn’t make any progress.

Once I figured out my objective, however, this was a fun maze to navigated. I could see into it, which was neat, because the path to completion was visible. The major discoveries were all well-clued. There was one big aha needed to unlock the way through… that, and a bit of skill with fiddling the ball bearing through the maze.

I was amused that the Cluebox got heavier to manipulate each time I tried and failed to solve it. But in the end, it was rewarding to open up the safe and find a small fortune, even if it was mine to begin with.
