Awesome treat puzzle!
I have to say, this is also a puzzle for humans, since assembly is required, but the company's assembly video was very easy to follow. This is a great treat puzzle for cats. Mine figured out how to use it right away and were actually able to get treats out with some effort. I was concerned about that after the abysmal failure of a fabric carrot puzzle I got them that was so impossible, and made them so hopeless, that they wouldn't even eat treats straight off the floor anymore. But this one is great! They can both use it without arguing over territory since there are 6 sides and many holes. They cooperate nicely together. Our smaller cat figured out she could stick her entire head into the biggest hole on the top, so hopefully her dingbat antics won't result in a cardboard mini crisis. This puzzle does slide around a lot on linoleum, so I put it on a silicone mat to keep it from moving, which seems to work quite well. If you want to preoccupy your cat for awhile, I recommend this puzzle. It will keep them entertained at snack time.

Good if you're looking for an actually challenging puzzle for your adult cats
This is the first and only cat puzzle that has actually engaged my cats for more than 30 minutes, forcing them to actively work for their dry food/treats. I have three other cat puzzles by the big name brand companies (e.g. Catstages) and while cute on the outside (for human enjoyment), my cats could figure them out so easily that it could hardly be described as a 'puzzle.' What's more impressive is that in addition to consistently engaging my two adult cats (who have now used it for over a month), it can also withstand the weight of one of my cats who's 13 lbs and likes to stand on top of it while pawing for his food. I highly recommend if you need a decently challenging puzzle for your adult cats. It takes a minute to figure out the instructions, but well worth it for adult cats. Probably would not recommend for kittens since they would be able to easily stick their paws in through the gaps.

Perfect for Scavenging and Entertainment
I bought both the hex box and the mega box since we have 2 cats and I thought they might want one each. I'd say they mainly play with the mega but it's nice to have variety and options.Both the hex and mega have a problem for our specific use case: we don't feed our cats dry food, wet only (not raw), so we wanted these to give our cats dry food as treats. The problem is that the dry food is too small and gets stuck at the bottom lip of the box. It's even hard for us humans to take them out. Since our cats are such fiends for dry food they're tenacious enough to keep trying. Originally they did get very frustrated.You're not really supposed to take it apart after you assemble it since you might crack/brake the cardboard if you do. It's a small downside for us since we would've liked to clean it. We still can-- but the number of times we can disassemble/reassemble are low before it breaks (maybe 3 times?). If you just leave it be, which we have, it's very sturdy. We haven't had a cat puke in it or any accidents, so thankfully we haven't needed to clean it inside. The paint is water based I believe, according to the CEO, and meant to be nontoxic for cats. It's strong, holds both of our cats, 7lbs and 11lbs.I wrote a review about the magnetic wand from the same company, Cat Amazing, in which I raved about their customer service and CEO. My delight is extended to this product as well. The CEO had suggested using freeze dried treats since they'd be bigger, easier for the cats to take them out. We don't feed any freeze dried treats or any raw food, and specially now with the bird flu concerns we definitely won't be.Despite it being harder for the cats to retrieve their "treats" which is just small dry food/kibble in our case, we and the cats still love it.

Great for many cat personalities!
This thing is phenomenal. We have two cats. One is on Prozac for anxiety so alternates between quietly sweet, napping, and super excited for food.The other is a dog in a cat suit. Beyond sweet, and incredibly mischievous. He loves to knock things off counters.The Amazing Hex has been great for them both. We’ve only had it less than a week. It inspires the quieter cat and gets her more involved in life. It channels the energy of the more active cat, giving him a hunting puzzle to solve.Highly recommend. Super happy with this!

My cat is stupid, but so am I.
I watched the video a couple of times before I could put the box together. It took me about half an hour. When I finally gave it to my cat, watched him struggle so hard. I felt horrible when he got so frustrated he yowled for help. I realized that after a couple more different types of puzzles, like a treat ball, foraging mat, and the sliding puzzles, it realized my cat isn't a type of kitty that uses his paws a lot. He is very good with his nose and nudging stuff, he grabs and hunts, but he does not stick his paws in or grab many things.I realized a good indicator of this is that my cat is very mouthy and nudges me with his head. He does tap me when I do not pay attention but that is very rare. I think if you aren't sure about pulling the trigger on a $30 puzzle, just observe how your cat acts, and you should be able to tell if this puzzle is a good idea for them. Or, poke a few holes in an amazon box and throw treats in it to see if they stick their paws in. That is a much cheaper alternative to losing $30 right out the gate.

Exactly as described
Exactly as described. Good cardboard quality. Attractive. My old cat is trying to get the hang of it! Kittens and younger cats will love it too!

My cat loves it
I had an easier puzzle box but this one keeps my fur baby occupied. I fill with treats before I leave the house
