To unlock the “Maze Puzzler,” CVS item number 669539, the recipient is required to maneuver a small yellow token through a maze by tilting the Puzzlerz from side to side, while with the “Gear Puzzlerz,” CVS item 669540, the recipient must maneuver a small yellow token through a sequence of 3 gears, by spinning the gears until they align. Both items are principally designed for the amusement of children 9 years of age and older and can continue to provide amusement well after the gift card has been removed.
