Perplexity is a word game in which you attempt to collect letters to spell a 5-letter word. Letters are collected by landing on spaces containing a letter and answering a question. Questions are made up of some form of wordplay (double meanings, anagrams, sounds, etc). Letters may be stolen or swapped with other players when landing on special locations on the board. All successful actions require answering a question. The first player to collect 5 letters, spell a word with those letters, make it back to the center of the board and answer a question correctly wins the game.
