The latest of these games, Perplex City has a cash prize of Â£100,000 and has been running for over a year.

To explain more about the search we are pleased to welcome Scarlett Kiteway, a resident of Perplex City and editor of thescarlettkite.com.

			Now first if all Scarlett can you explain to our listeners why this missing cube is so important to your people?''

			Ok so its just got real historic importance to us you know, if your Mona Lisa got stolen or Britainâ€™s crown jewels its really important to us culturally also its got some very strange properties um I donâ€™t really know a lot about this but my dad Sente is head of the Academy and theyâ€™ve been investigating it for years. Um I have to confess I donâ€™t exactly what it does um and Iâ€™m not sure they know either but so yeh they want to get it back so they can carry on working it out.

			''Ok so how did it go missing if its so blooomin precious?''

			Well it got stolen. They still donâ€™t seem to know who took it um in fact they donâ€™t seem to have any leads at all. Um they have an event every year to celebrate the academy games ending. So I guess everyoneâ€™s attention must have been distracted um some people broke into the museum I donâ€™t know how many people, um they disabled the security systems and they killed the guard, which was really scary. Um err I was at the ball actually and um we all had to be questioned by the police which was pretty scary.

			''Why can the people of earth help?''

			Ok so the cube has some sort of um electromagnetic field or something that it gives out um anyway, I know that there is a special way that the guys at the academy can trace it and find out where it is, wherever it is. So they thought theyâ€™d just be able to follow this trace or whatever and um find out where it was, but it turned out when they followed the trace that the cube wasnâ€™t anywhere in Perplex City, thatâ€™s the city where I come from. Um its not anywhere in our world. It turns out itâ€™s been taken over to earth um so basically weâ€™re hoping if youâ€™ll get involved youâ€™ll help us to find it, wherever it might be.
			''
			Well residents of Perplex City have met some of the gameâ€™s players in Abbey Road, London havenâ€™t they â€“ what actually happened?''

			That looked like it was so much fin, what happened was um obviously we can't come over from Perplex City to earth, but weâ€™re working with a company, Mind Candy, on earth who set up a little treasure trail to introduce some of the people who are looking for the cube already, to us and our world.
			''
			Well look, youâ€™ve seen photographs of our world. Is it very different from yours?''

			Yeh we find you really fascinating, the breadth of your culture is amazing. The history, the art, the music and thereâ€™s kind of a cult in knowing the names of the ancient earth scientists, and this sort of thing. Thereâ€™s a department of earth studies at the Academy which specifically studies you guys and we get a lot of replica earth artefacts in our shops. Iâ€™d love to be able to visit earth.

			''Scarlett, if anyoneâ€™s listening whoâ€™s interested in helping find this cube, how can they actually do so?''

			Thereâ€™s loads you can do. Probably the best place to start is www.perplexcity.com err which will lead you into a whole load of websites about us. My dad has set up a whole game, which will help you to find out more about us. The idea is that if you find out a lot about our world by playing this game then hopefully youâ€™ll be able to see something that we canâ€™t see and be able to work out who took the cube. Um we donâ€™t know who took it but I guess 6 billion heads are better than 1. So to get involved you should check out this game, um there are cards you can buy which have puzzles on them to get you started. I did say weâ€™re into puzzles didnâ€™t I? Um and if you check out firebox.com you can order some and come have a look at my blog which is www.thescarlettkite.com.

			''Thereâ€™s a huge reward for whoever finds the cube isnâ€™t there?''
			Yes there is. My dad is offering a reward of Â£100,000 for whoever finds it, thatâ€™s about 2 million lecks, which is the currency we have over here. Err that Â£100,000 will be just for finding the cube and keeping it safe, because we havenâ€™t worked out how we get the cube back from you guys, but as long as itâ€™s in safe hands weâ€™ll feel happier.

			''Now do you have a message for those people that are already out searching?''

			Absolutely. We love you, please keep on looking, keep on trying to help us, weâ€™re all just so pleased youâ€™re on the case and I know youâ€™re going to find it.

			''Thanks Scarlett, thatâ€™s Scarlett Kiteway a resident of Perplex City and editor of thescarlettkite.com.''

			''Now first if all Scarlett can you explain to our listeners why this missing cube is so important to your people?''

	~~Now first if all Scarlett can you explain to our listeners why this missing cube is so important to your people?''~~

	Ok so its just got real historic importance to us you know, if your Mona Lisa got stolen or Britainâ€™s crown jewels its really important to us culturally also its got some very strange properties um I donâ€™t really know a lot about this but my dad Sente is head of the Academy and theyâ€™ve been investigating it for years. Um I have to confess I donâ€™t exactly what it does um and Iâ€™m not sure they know either but so yeh they want to get it back so they can carry on working it out.

	''Ok so how did it go missing if its so blooomin precious?''		''Ok so how did it go missing if its so blooomin precious?''


	Well it got stolen. They still donâ€™t seem to know who took it um in fact they donâ€™t seem to have any leads at all. Um they have an event every year to celebrate the academy games ending. So I guess everyoneâ€™s attention must have been distracted um some people broke into the museum I donâ€™t know how many people, um they disabled the security systems and they killed the guard, which was really scary. Um err I was at the ball actually and um we all had to be questioned by the police which was pretty scary.		Well it got stolen.

	Ok so the cube has some sort of um electromagnetic field or something that it gives out um anyway, I know that there is a special way that the guys at the academy can trace it and find out where it is, wherever it is. So they thought theyâ€™d just be able to follow this trace or whatever and um find out where it was, but it turned out when they followed the trace that the cube wasnâ€™t anywhere in Perplex City, thatâ€™s the city where I come from. Um its not anywhere in our world. It turns out itâ€™s been taken over to earth um so basically weâ€™re hoping if youâ€™ll get involved youâ€™ll help us to find it, wherever it might be.

	That looked like it was so much fin, what happened was um obviously we can't come over from Perplex City to earth, but weâ€™re working with a company, Mind Candy, on earth who set up a little treasure trail to introduce some of the people who are looking for the cube already, to us and our world.

	Well look, youâ€™ve seen photographs of our world. Is it very different from yours?''
			''Well look, youâ€™ve seen photographs of our world. Is it very different from yours?''


	Yeh we find you really fascinating, the breadth of your culture is amazing. The history, the art, the music and thereâ€™s kind of a cult in knowing the names of the ancient earth scientists, and this sort of thing. Thereâ€™s a department of earth studies at the Academy which specifically studies you guys and we get a lot of replica earth artefacts in our shops. Iâ€™d love to be able to visit earth.

	''Scarlett, if anyoneâ€™s listening whoâ€™s interested in helping find this cube, how can they actually do so?''		''Scarlett, if anyoneâ€™s listening whoâ€™s interested in helping find this cube, how can they actually do so?''


	Thereâ€™s loads you can do. Probably the best place to start is www.perplexcity.com err which will lead you into a whole load of websites about us. My dad has set up a whole game, which will help you to find out more about us. The idea is that if you find out a lot about our world by playing this game then hopefully youâ€™ll be able to see something that we canâ€™t see and be able to work out who took the cube. Um we donâ€™t know who took it but I guess 6 billion heads are better than 1. So to get involved you should check out this game, um there are cards you can buy which have puzzles on them to get you started. I did say weâ€™re into puzzles didnâ€™t I? Um and if you check out firebox.com you can order some and come have a look at my blog which is www.thescarlettkite.com.		Thereâ€™s loads you can do.
