Game Overview
Puzzle Cards are being sent to Earth by Sente, the Perplex City Academy staff, and Mind Candy to find the missing Receda Cube. The citizens of Perplex City desperately want the Cube returned as it is a cornerstone of their society. The next step to finding The Cube is to complete many Puzzle Cards and get clues to the location of the cube.

V, Cymbalisty, Granier, the Theft, Miranda, Viendenbourg, even Sente himself.
- Take note, not everything was said: Scarlett did not tell anyone about Claire Castille.
