Perplexus (formerly known as Superplexus) is a 3-D ball-in-a-maze puzzle or labyrinth game enclosed in a transparent plastic sphere. By twisting and turning the sphere, players attempt to maneuver a small steel ball through an intricate maze composed of 100 steps along narrow plastic tracks. The range of levels is 30-125. Some of the steps involve dropping the ball into a cup or through a small rim to take advantage of its three-dimensional nature. There are obstacles of varying difficulty that must be navigated in order to reach the end.
In 2009, Busy Life, LLC became the licensed manufacturer of the Perplexus line of toys. It is exclusively distributed by Spin Master Ltd. In 2009 the toy was made available online.
There are currently eight kinds of Perplexus: Rookie, Original, Epic, Twist, Warp, Small Original, Yellow Rookie, and the Star Wars Death Star. Perplexus was co-invented by teacher and magician Michael McGinnis and toy inventors Brian Clemens and Dan Klitsner of San Francisco-based KID Group—known for the invention of the games Bop It, HyperDash, and other titles. McGinnis first sketched ideas for three-dimensional labyrinths in the late 1970s. Years later, he showed sketches and rough prototypes to Clemens and Klitsner (1999). After a year of collaboration and many prototypes, they perfected the toy's gameplay so that it was easy enough for a young child to start, yet challenging for any age due to its many levels. A version with an electronic timer named Superplexus was launched in 2001, but with limited availability.
Perplexus are a West London production duo whose debut track conjures the modern soul of MNEK or John Newman. The two producers operate in the 2-step, electronic, mainstream-crossover field. James Walsh of DJ Mag writes, "All that we know of Perplexus, those behind the track, is that they're a production duo buried deep in west London. A little more is known about remixers Penguin & Goose, who Perplexus have entrusted this deep house mix to."
Perplexus's debut hit Put You On premiered on The Line of Best Fit and was picked up and played by DJ EZ on his Kiss FM show. Further support from MTV, Indie Shuffle, Alftitude, Death By Electro, Flavour, Rio Ferdinand's No. 5 Mag has followed online. While support from further DJ's has arisen with Majestic at Kiss Fm and Ras Kwame at Capital Xtra. BBC Radio 1Xtra's DJ Cameo has played it weekly, rising to Number 3 in his UKG Chart and Target who has been spinning it on his homegrown show on the station. The Deep House remix of the track was provided by New York-based Penguin & Goose and surfaced on 19 May, getting featured in DJ Mag. 'Put You On' is currently set for release on 6 July 2014 via Sonus Music.
