- Perplex City exists on another planet, whereabouts currently unknown.
- Sente Kiteway, Head of Perplex City Academy, has lost something very important: the Receda Cube (whatever that is). He needs our help, since the Cube is somewhere on Earth, and he can't get here to retrieve it.
- Of course, Perplex City has a major newspaper, and its reporters have poked their noses around the theft as well. Pietro Salk is the most notable reporter to have investigated the theft because he soon died under mysterious circumstances. After his death, correspondence between Pietro and a strange whistleblower known as The Advisor was revealed.
- The Advisor, along with some other suspected Cube thieves, has been killed.
That's it in a nutshell. Of course, there is much, much more to explore in this exciting world that is made up of many websites, all with their own unique personalities and information. The Wikipedia has more to help people get oriented.
But it doesn't stop there! For those of us who can't get enough fun, Perplex City puzzle cards are available for purchase. These aren't required to play the ARG, but they provide hours of fun that you can share with friends and family. The puzzles range in difficulty and interest. I've seen puzzles about cooking, math, word play, astronomy, and more. Something for everyone! Not only that, but players gather online to trade their duplicate cards, just like baseball cards. Trade with me here.
If you like thinking, puzzles, stories, and communities of cool people who enjoy the same, you should jump in! If you don't like those things... what exactly do you do with your time?
I said there was another game.
Let's save that for tomorrow. Suffice to say, we are all going to develop gambling problems.
