How to Use Play Instructions Start with Open Compartments: For beginners, place treats only in the six open deep compartments so your cat can discover and retrieve them easily. Add Ball-Lid Challenge: Once your cat is comfortable with the open compartments, place treats underneath the five ball-shaped lids and let your cat paw the balls aside. Use Center for Difficulty: To increase the challenge further, place dry food in the center of the deep compartments so your cat must search across all areas of the board to find every treat.

Ans: To increase difficulty, start by hiding treats under all five ball-shaped lids instead of only the open compartments.
