Getting started

General

This page is meant to be a resource for anyone new to the game, to make sure all bases are covered. To get oriented, skim over the basic intro.

What to do

• First, sign up on perplexcity.com
  • This will be the place where you enter puzzle card solves.
  • Be sure to fill out your profile and add tags, so that everyone can get to know you!
• Check out the two forums, perplexcityforums and unfiction
  • We recommend registering on both, so that you can join in on the conversation.
  • However, there is an overwhelming amount of information on both of them, and it is usually quite scattered, so you should wait to read them until you're more familiar with the basics.
• Pop into IRC to say hello!
  • Connect to #syzygy through a website or by downloading mIRC
• Add your picture to the player gallery

• Read through the official story so far
  • As you go, check out wiki pages if you have questions, and for more information
• Once you've caught up on the story so far, read through the four (and a half) character blogs, starting at the beginning of each
  • The Scarlett Kite
  • Quirky Acuity
  • The Path of Least Time
  • Anna Heath's Personal Site
  • Scarlett's Story
• Check the trails and calendars

If you have questions as you go along, feel free to ask in #syzygy, search the wiki, search the forum archives, or try to locate it on the calendar/trails page. Try to not post in the forums asking people to catch you up, as there are ample resources and individuals available to help you.

• Now that you're caught up, be sure to bookmark all of the blogs and news sites so that you'll stay up to date.

The next step

• Buy some cards and start solving!
• If you find info missing on the wiki, you can request a login and add the info yourself, or notify someone who will fix it up
• To manage your cards, visit the following sites:
  • Perplex City Card Catalog
  • Perplex City Card Manager
  • Perplex City Trades
• We also recommend bookmarking The Perplex City Sentinel, PXC's newspaper which updates about once a week
