I received four free cards at a wedding; it seems that a good friend of my family is related to one of the Mind Candies (Andrea Mitchell, I think.) i enjoy puzzles, and, though I know I have nary a chance of collecting it, the reward is quite tempting.

I was in a sleezy joint in downtown soho, quietly watching the male strippers do their thing, sipping on a pina colada, trying not to get the umbrella stuck up my nose, when a strange little man in a fez sat down at my table. He was playing with a peice of paper and looking around furtively. After about an hour of sideways glances, I realised that the naked jiggling men had lost their appeal thanks to this annoying little man and I knew the only way to get back into it was to ask him what he wanted.

He leaned in towards me, I found myself leaning in towards him, wish I hadnt as the smell of pungent feet and pits almost made me recoil violently but I held my ground. He looked around, as if waiting for someone or something to happen. he grabbed my hand and thrust the paper into it before whispering.......

.......go down the rabbit hole. The rest is history.

OK OK OK OK I am a Firebox Babe. Bought the cards for my brother in law Bazmadoodah and now we are both hooked.

I first became involved with the Perplex City phenomenon back in August of 2005 through Firebox, since they gave me a free "taster" card in one of my orders.

Ever since I have been a devoted member and cannot stop solving the cards and acting like a detective lol! I also love the Perplex City phenomenon as I have made many new friends which is just fantastic!

Regards,

Stefan

Recently my garage housing my sons christmas presents was burgled and they got away with a portable dvd-player. Upon re-ordering I received a free starter-pack from the kind people at firebox...

I had of course seen the cards in the catalogue before, but always dismissed it as something I could do without. How wrong I was � this is fascinating and addictive and goes so much deeper than I thought possible. Fantastic!

Well.....my involvement started quite a while ago now.....

You see, there was this cube and some bloke paid me to steal it for him.....I was doing a search on the internet to see if it had made the news or not and I found firebox and ordered something soppy for my gf.

In with my parcel was a PPC card, which I solved and went to their website to register and get my points, then I found this site through their forum.....

Ummm.....have I said too much?
