PC gamer was definitely storyline focussed, but also aimed at a very different audience. It would be interesting to see the demography of the culture show, but I'm sure it changed drastically when they showed the ARG slot!

I followed the first firebox ad like you spugmeistress...think the firebox shoppers are most similar to ARGers...if you're daft enough to spend money on chocolate coated ants and stuffed bacteria, then you're daft enough to turn up in greenwich at the merest whiff of a link to an event! *MikeyJ waves to 'Fluffy'*

Now that the weather's getting better it would be good to have a trip now I mention it...do you think Mind Candy could organise something somewhere a bit nice for us...Cornwall would do. Perhaps they could supply transport? Sente's Charabanc!

[Edited for spelling of Charabanc...weird one that!]

OOh I know some lovely places in Cornwall, quite fancy a little tripet myself! I'm a fireboxy too, much more intriguing than the culuture show

I got hooked from an article on www.smh.com.au (Sydney Morning Herald) .

This is my first, won't be my last

There's been another influx (or at least a load of nick's I'm not familiar with) so I'm wondering whether to resurrect this and ask a nice mod to add a button for "I just bought these cards and lo! I am here".

Another part of me thinks F*** it, you floggeth the glue factory raw materials.

What do you think?

[iwozframed]

first got into it myself with the old firebox ad

of course it was only a mirrored message but 5mins searching round and i was hooked!

i think the main reason your seeing so many of us newbies is the card release, most are probably not even new to the site just hadn't the need to post, but now people are getting the feeling that we're under starters orders.

IT'S TIME TO GET INVOLVED!!

I was feeling despressed after ilovebees ended and poked around on unforum for a week. When I saw perplexcity it looked really cool, but hadn't quite started yet. So I signed up for it and then forgot about it. I only remembered it with Sente's email 2 weeks ago.

I nearly forgot again till Scarlett's email!

Firebox catalog advert - but the perplexcity.com site at the time was pretty dull. I entered my email address adn nothing happened. Didn't know about ARGs etc so didn't find the hidden links on the page and so forgot all about it.

Sometime later I found a postcard (the "Hello World" one) in Starbucks and then got hooked. Its way too easy to get addicted to things in Starbucks...

[Scott]

you fFound a postcard!?!? sweeet!! like, the postcard with the city at night on it, and the short note like "My friends - I need your help. Cube - missing. Presumed stolen. Not enough room to explain here...." cool! lucky dog!

I first found out about it though an article in the [British Newspaper] the Guardian, back in spring.
I starting following Perplex City quite closely but got bored with the slow pace. I noticed another ARG through the forums - The Art of the Heist, got seriously hooked and played it to the end to the exclusion of PPC. When I came back to PPC I hadn't missed much.

I found Perplex City in Computeractive! magazine - they ran half-page section on it.

[stuart437]

I was just on one of those board see were the links will take you float on the net. and randomly saw a pic of a game card. so it began.

[perplexed]

i found out about it in the guide, and now my friend thinks im sad and so does my dad, plus the fact i have an unhealthy addiction to checking forums:( on the plus side it didnt start in starbucks and it's a great game and the people are really nice

PS where can one get postcards from, i want to leave some around places like seej, failing that i'll have to write www.perplexcity.com on napkins in starbucks/coffee republic/cafe nero/why are there so many pointless coffee bars?
