 		[META] Mind Candy Gets $$$ for 15 Cube Rewards, Helicopters
There's gold in them thar alternate reality hills!

Quote:
A British company that is pioneering a new genre of online game, widely known as alternate reality games, has secured a $3 million round of venture capital funding.

Mind Candy, a development house that operates a game called "Perplex City," said it received the funds from Index Ventures, an investor in Skype and other technology companies.

Mind Candy will use the funds to expand the scope of its current game, said Michael Smith, chief executive officer of the company. Index, led by firm partner Danny Rimer, had previously invested $1.5 million as a seed round in the company.

"We are extremely excited about this partnership and see enormous potential to build a global brand around puzzles and puzzle-solving," Smith said in a statement.


Ker-ching!

Congratulations to the guys, and may the MC offices be dripping with bling this festive season. I for one look forward to the Wave 3 & 4 silver cards actually being etched into silver bars.
