In the original NES version the reward for completing the puzzle is simply 100 gil. From the WonderSwan Color version and onward the prizes are better, including:
- 1st place: 10,000 gil
- 2nd place: 5,000 gil
- 3rd place: 2,000 gil

In Dawn of Souls and the Anniversary Edition, the prizes are again improved:

- 2nd place: Elixir, Remedy, Hermes' Shoes, Emergency Exit, Turbo Ether
- 3rd place: Spider's Silk, White Fang, White Curtain, Red Fang, Red Curtain, Blue Fang, Blue Curtain, Vampire's Fang, Cockatrice Claw
- Just finishing: 100 gil, Potion, Antidote, Gold Needle, Ether, Phoenix Down, Eye Drops, Echo Grass
Earning 1st, 2nd or 3rd place also rewards a "just finishing" prize.
The times to complete the 15 Puzzle:
- 1st place: 0:30.00 or less
- 2nd place: 0:30.00–1:00.00
- 3rd place: 1:00.00–2:00.00
In the Pixel Remaster version, there is no timer, and all prizes are removed. Completing the puzzle does, however, grant an achievement.
