What is Perplex City?

After my last post you may be saying "what is Perplex City?" or you may not care if you do not care feel free to surf on to your next stop. :-)

A World of Puzzles, Mystery and Intrigue
www.perplexcity.com

Wired.com says "It sounds like the back story for a cheesy Keanu Reeves vehicle: The Receda Cube has been stolen from the Perplex City Academy and secreted away from the unnamed planet to Earth."

This is a new form of game called a alternate-reality game basically you buy booster packs of cards (6 cards to a booster) and each card is a game, some are math some are logic some are just weird. For a sample card click below:

Perplex City Free Virtual Puzzle Cards

Once you have the cards you can go online and enter the results and see how you rank compared to thousands of other players but rank is not the important part... the important part is finding the Cube. Somewhere on earth there they have hidden the Cube. If you find it you win $200,000. Do I really think I will win? Nah but the puzzles are quite cool and I need something new to waste brain cells on. :-)
