Perplex City Information

Game Overview
Season 1: The Receda Cube was stolen from the Academy Museum in a daring heist. Through clever use of Puzzle Cards sent to Earth by Sente Kiteway, as well as deucedly clever gumshoeing by everyone involved, we discovered Violet Kiteway, Sente's daughter, stole the cube to protect it from The Third Power.
Season 2: A million stories yet to to be told!
Hot Topics
- The trouble appears to be messages posted (or appearing to be posted) to the Apolyton Institute
- It would seem someone is trying to smash the ivory tower. Who, and Why?
- There's something fishy going on with Silburn-Griggs Mines and Silburn-Griggs Mining Company.
- Though we're not altogether sure how this us connected at the moment, Apolyton appears to have sent some information BBC Radio 1, which had something to do with Silburn-Griggs.
