[NEW?/SPEC] Domain names Thought I should probably spoiler this (just in case)...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Did some searching on www.whois.sc to see if there were any more domains registered relating to perplex city and found this. All of these are parked (with the obvious exception of perplexcity.com) with GoDaddy.com and registered by Domains by Proxy in or around October this year.
SORRY if this has all been posted before, feel free to lock it if it has. I did search and found nothing, but who knows.

Cool as this is, try not to discover all the in-game sites before this starts! It's akin to going under the christmas tree and shaking/poking/prodding all your presents days before you actually get to open them

interesting, perplexcity.com is apparently hosted like a mile from me in Pittsburgh. (Assuming I'm reading this right anyway, i'm new to using whois.)
Sort of an odd place for a UK-based game to do its hosting.

Wow, looks like it'll be run as us doing puzzles in different parts of a city then. This should be pretty dandy.

They do have LOADS registerd, including hte zeller traversen and the cube posted a while ago, so maybe they are registering them to stop fake sites?
