Hey y'all,

Mind Candy have unofficially asked us to help with giving out cards and helping spread the word of Perplex City in the U.S., and I'm looking for helpers. So if you're interested, head over here, check us out, and sign up!

 		I've already been doing this...it's easy. I just take my doubles (cards I have more than one of, and therefore are expendable) and leave them around. Hotels, coffee shops, libraries, college campuses, etc. What more is there to being a "street team" member?

Well, the purpose is, in a nutshell...working together to organize events, coordinating simultaneous card drops on specific dates, coordinating activities in various regions of the country (esp. when it comes to getting more stores to carry cards), having friendly competitions, organizing meet-ups, setting up swap meets, sharing promotional materials, sharing photos, raising awareness in general, getting press coverage online and of said events irl...and the list goes on and on and on. Plus, I'll be sending out materials to team members that Mind Candy have asked me to distribute.

Basically, we're stronger as a team than we are as individuals. So, please come check it out!

 		its interesting that you put this up when you did. in about 3 weeks I'm going to have a fair amount of free time, and this is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of putting together to waste it. I even already had a letter to MC in my draft folder, guess I can trash that now though Smile

 		I'm at school right now, and the page is blocked, but I'll be sure to sign up when I get home. I've already started this as well Very Happy I got one store in my area to start selling them, so now I can start on the next one.

Excellent. What was their distributor information/what info did you give them to get that going?

Hey guys. Been a long while. Thought I'd bring about "the most real game you'll ever play."

This is the article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplex_City

The relevant part of that thread is the CCG aspect of the game. Each pack contains 6 cards of varying difficulty. By difficulty, I mean that each card is it's own puzzle. As you solve the puzzles, you enter the code into www.perplexcity.com and you recieve pins at certain point levels. All the while, you are working towards the $200,000 reward for finding the mysterious Receda Cube. For more info, check out that Wikipedia article, or go to http://www.unforums.com

The vendor link is here: http://www.perplexcity.com/static/buycards/buycards.nbuild

If you find that you do in fact want to sell the cards(you have no idea how happy that would make me), then shoot a message to: retailSPLATmindcandydesign.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Edit: Forgot something. I can come down and explain more about this in person, as well as show you some of my cards and the pins. Email me about it, because I may forget to check the forums.


I love the owner of the store. Within the hour he had email'd Mind Candy Smile
