Hi Everyone,

Pleased to meet you all, how do you do?

I found Perplex City on Firebox.com yesterday, looked it up, got fascinated, and decided I'd like to try playing Season 2. It's all a bit confusing right now and the main questions on my mind are:

* Is it going to be a big disadvantage that I didn't play season 1 and don't know the characters/backstory?
* Can anyone recommend an easy way to keep track of which cards have been solved and what the solutions are, or do I have to keep on top of every thread?! Websites all still seem to be about season 1.
* If there's no treasure hunt in season 2, what is the actual aim in this game? Is there a winner's prize? Do we know anything about this yet?
* Do UK players ever have real-life get-togethers to talk about the game? I live in Sussex, can get to London or Brighton.

If any old hands care to get in touch, please PM me, I'd love to have someone hold my hand for a bit just until I know which way is up!

Thank you SO much! I think that's the most helpful and informative answer I've ever had in a forum Smile

It really cleared things up for me and I suspect you're right and lots of other newbies will be wandering this way and wondering the same things.

Thanks again for a warm welcome Very Happy

Erk.............you saved the tricky question for me! I don't know. Last season, there were leitmarks when certain points levels were reached, but I believe the existence of them for S2 was "unconfirmed" after one of the webchats. Maybe there will be goodies when thresholds are reached. Although I think the main reason is for people to compete against each other (especially their friends, if they have any playing too).
'Tis a good question, it's just a shame I have no real idea what the answer is Laughing

(Oh BTW, you get Brownies points from me for not putting a capital M at the start of my name!)
