Perplex City shuts down

Several sources report that the alternate reality game Perplex City, famed for its gruellingly difficult puzzle cards and its top notch prize (as well as for being associated with the BBC's recent Frozen Indigo Angel game), will not be going into a second season as initially reported, for reasons unknown.

A lengthy explanation can be found on Director of Play Adrian Hon's personal blog. A more formal announcement is on the Perplex City homepage.

Well that's a shame! I was looking forward to getting my teeth into Series 2. The cards will continue to be supported and the team at Mind Candy hope to have a suitable outlet for future projects in future.

Conspiracy theorists may start their infernal questioning now.
