General
- Discreet, formal awards for achievement in the Perplex City Academy Games
- Awarded not solely to winners, but to competitors who have most stretched their personal boundaries over the course of a competition
- Worn on the sleeve as a quiet, humble way of showing pride in self and city
- In ancient times, Leitmarks were awarded for cunning tactics during the heat of combat, battle-winning strategy or, on rare occasions, even for personal valor
- Secret societies and religious groups have produced their own Leitmarks, to recognize one another discreetly in a public forum
- The people of Perplex City seem divided for and against giving Leitmarks to Earth-based Cube hunters.
Known awards
- The City Star, presented by the Perplex City Council to popular rock band Roll For Damage, for their strong public stance to get youth involved in political issues
- The Silver Solve is the highest honor anyone in the city can possibly be given by the city council; A kind of Congressional Medal of Honor.

They were in a rucksack which also contained a large number of packs of Wave 1 puzzle cards, vouchers for drinks at a local public house and controversially, five never before seen (at the time) Wave 2 cards.
