Perplex City visits Hamleys!

All this week Perplex City have been able to be found at the Hamleys on Regent Street in London! Much to our appreciation, there were special “Hamley’s” cards, number H01 to H05, as well as various Season 2 promo’s being handed out.

Sadly, due to the fact I had work, I didn’t manage to drag myself down to London until the Saturday, but there were still a great deal of the H01-H05 cards to be found, although only one Season 2 promo left!

If you solved all five Hamley’s cards on the day, you were presented with goodies. If I remember correctly, this was a Version 2 starter pack and two packs of Perplex City cards. I was too lazy to solve mine on the day (wish I had though!).

There were two ’stalls’ so to speak. One had all the special cards, and was the stall you went to after solving all the five Hamley’s cards to collect the goodies from.

The second stall had the Perplex City board game set up on it, with the question cards out. You picked a coloured marble out of the bag, and the lady behind the stall asked you a question from one of the cards that corresponded with that colour. If you got the answer right, you were presented with a pack of Perplex City cards!

I wandered around there for a while, discussed with the ladies on the stalls and chatted to Flabyo, Ollie, giggsey, AgentLex, Xena, and another guy (ferret I think?). We then wandered off to a pub where we discussed the cards, spec, and various other stuff over a drink for a couple of hours, then I excused myself and headed off home.

Fun day out, and the cards are lovely. Snagged a few extras, for friends that begged as they can’t get to London sadly, and looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

Hopefully next week I won’t get stranded in London! ;)
