At the moment players are encouraged to try the two games currently available in the complex. A racing game on the first floor and “Texas Hold’em” style poker games on the second. Players will be rewarded with a free poker or racing game t-shirt just for trying them.

For all those working hard to solve the mysteries of Xi: The Hub, this week’s quest will have you climb down a manhole into the maintenance area of Home located near the apartments in the central plaza to fix a computer and rebuild a robot.

But there’s a catch. You have to figure out how to get past security to enter the area, clues were left in the locker room so be on the look out. Two new puzzles will also have you going bonkers tracking a flight from the U.S. to Italy, watching the latest video message and try to decipher a code written in musical notes to solve the mystery of Xi: The Hub. As the clues and puzzles get harder, don’t worry. You don’t have to solve the mystery alone.

There are always plenty of other players who are more than willing to help you if you help them.
