Is it the new catalogue for spring?

Sounds like something new, the previous firebox ad pointed to a different web-site.

Could you describe in agonising detail the ad for us? Or even better, scan it in and attach?

Welcome Sy!

[Edit]

Site www.perplexcityacademy.com is currently 403 Forbidden...there but we can't get in. What are the chances that the Leitmarks are going to grant us access to the Academy?

Its weird, I received the Firebox catalogue in the winter, and havn't received any ever since, even though I ordered one. But now, I can't find the page on the site for ordering one... Evil or Very Mad

Is there any chance you can have those pages scanned. They don't seem to appear online as products like the cube in the winter edition...

Not come across a Patrick before as far as I know...thanks Sy that's great.

Could you tell us what exaclty the puzzles were as layed out?

To find out more of what we've done so far and what this is all about there are a couple of sources of information that you probably need to have a look at. In summary we have been contaced by an alternative reality who have lost an item known as the Receda Cube...interestingly listed in a previous Firebox catalogue...they want us to help find it.

Recently we have been given access to one of this reality's online papers (www.perplexcitysentinel.com) which updates with articles daily, and a blog by our contacts daughter, Scarlett Kiteway (www.thescarlettkite.com).

Sounds mental doesn't it?!

The primer is the best place to start for background http://tinyurl.com/cxt8v and browse the forums for current happenings Smile

The name sounds familiar, but I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting confused.

The name Patrick doesn't appear to be in the Wiki, so maybe he is new - One of Sente's Earth contacts?

Putting together Sy's post the communication seems to be:
Patrick - we need to communicate to Firebox how serious this matter is. This is not a game. It might do them some good to find out why the cube is so important to us. Sente

www.perplexcityacademy.com

So apparently from Sente, talking to Patrick, via the Firebox catalogue. Why do they need to tell Firebox? Who is Patrick? Why does Sente want them to know about the cube?

Very suspicious indeedy

�100,000!!!! Shocked

That am lots! I could pay my uni debts and still have around 90 grand left over!

But if we are all in this then the only fair thing to do will be to divvy it all up. :'(

None of us are in it for the money - we only found out about it today, but oh my, that's a lotta mulah.

I predict many arguments as the game draws to a close

Scan of page 21 of summer 2005 Firebox catalogue

Maybe the advert is what the 333 people who were faster than me are going to get! ?

I looked up the product on the firebox website, and it didn't seem to be there - only thing relevant was the ///\\\\\ cube link to this forum which was there from the first firebox ad.
