General

  • Discreet, formal awards for achievement in the Perplex City Academy Games
  • Awarded not soley 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.

  • 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

  • Cube hunters who went to Clapham Common on October 22nd 2005 were rewarded with a white leitmark, bearing the word "TSOL" and "The Cube" in binary. These were left behind - by parties unknown - after the helicopter escape. 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.

    • See: Point Possibilities for a staggered list of all possible scores, and known mark awards.
    • All Leitmarks earned are posted to individuals, if they have entered their addresses in their Perplex City Player accounts.
    • Letters across the green Leitmark read, "And Gyvann said doubt not that the cube speaks or that its voice is heard"

Sente's Letter

Dear Player,

I am pleased to award you your Leitmark, in recognition of the hard work you have put into helping the people of Perplex City find the Receda Cube. We are very grateful for your assisstance, and hope that this will be the beginning of a long relationship between our two worlds.


Regards,
