General
Cards first appeared in the Firebox advert and were followed soon later by an appearance in the Parcels sent out. The cards have different colours, numbers and sets. The colours correspond to the difficulty and the rarety of the cards, ranging from red (easy and common) to silver (difficult and rare).
According to the "rule card" you have to collect the cards and solve them to win Perplex Points at Perplexcity.com. You then have to try and make complete sets to win extra points. Then you can investigate who stole the Receda Cube and learn about Perplex City to reveal who is behind the Theft and why. Then it will be possible to find where the Receda Cube is hidden and claim the reward.
Selected cards may be seen in the Selected Cards article. Please note, this wiki will not be hosting all cards, but rather just those which fall into certain categories. See the Card Catalog at http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com for a comprehensive listing of all cards with much meta data.
- See: Card Designers List to see which designers have made which cards.

Playing Card Symbols
Some of the cards have Playing card symbols. Their purpose is currently a mystery and puzzle.
Map
On the back of Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Purple, Black, and Silver cards are small sections of a large map of Perplex City. The map cannot be completed without all of the cards in the mentioned groups.
Large Ghosted Letters
On some cards, there are also feint parts of what could be letters, or perhaps a large image. It could be assumed that these will form a message, or image, when the cards are placed together in the correct order - perhaps this could correspond to the Map.
Telegraph Spreads
The Telegraph, a british publication, has started publishing monthly spreads featuring a number of perplexian puzzles, and some previews of up-coming cards. The collected assembled can be seen here:
