Perplex City Stories is the planned second season of the popular alternate reality game Perplex City, run by Mind Candy. Although no plot has been revealed yet, the first wave of puzzle cards was released on March 1, 2007, and the site states that the new plot will begin in June 2007^[1].

The Perplex City Stories site is also being complimented by the new "Perplex City—We Love Puzzles" site, which features new user-submitted puzzles and flash games. The site also allows users to enter the solutions for both Season 1 and Season 2 puzzle cards, as well as keeps a total of number of puzzles solved, including site puzzles and puzzle cards.

At the after-party of the first season, players were given "keys", fictional high-tech devices from the game, with codes allowing them to register for the new game. Players who ordered Season 2 cards from Firebox.com also received these keys. Those who attended the party were also give business cards sending them to VioletUnderground.com, which currently redirects to the Perplex City Stories site.^[2]
