Project Overview

The A(maze)ing Heist is a piggy bank with a twist. Incorporating mazes, the key to unlocking your bank is in your hands. Piggy banks are common objects given to children to teach them about saving money. The money is usually fished from the hole on the piggy bank's belly, but that isn't that secure or fun. With the A(maze)ing Heist, you have both. To unlock your bank, you'd have to solve a series of mazes. With the parts put together by your own design, a maze has to be solved in order to access your belongings. There are so many possibilities for the design of your lock. Your things would be secure and you'd have a great time unlocking your bank, or even seeing your friends struggle to try to gain access.
