$3M For Sente's Lost Cube
London-based MindCandy has received $3M from Index Ventures. The company develops ARGs (alternate reality games) based on solving puzzles. Its flagship ARG is called Perplex City and it offers a $200K reward to the player who can help its protagonist Sente to locate his lost cube.
MindCandy's CEO is Michael Smith, who previously co-founded the popular gadgets, games and fits site Firebox. He acknowledges that his company is unusual. Its Executive Producer is a Mars freak who spends time in a space suit. Another staffer plays Mic Fleetwood in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, and the company has hired someone who goes by the title of Ad Hoc Polymath.
