As per Jeff's request...
About a week ago, Perplex City: Season One was solved. I had kinda lost touch with the ins and outs of Perplex City, so I didn't actually learn that until just recently. I'm curious to learn how it was all done. I found the backstory--which, presumably, was critical to unraveling the mystery--fascinating, but I came in absurdly late to actually get into it. I mostly focused on the puzzles, which I greatly enjoyed. I love the variety--trivia, logic, word searches, the works. And of all different difficulty levels!
Also impressive was the spontaneous community that arose around it, helping people solve the puzzles and commisserate over the metapuzzle.
On March 1, Season Two--with new puzzles and a new prize--starts up. I'm planning on getting in on the ground floor this time; I've got my name down for a box at the game store.
