After nearly two years, a cryptic treasure hunt played out between the real and virtual worlds has been won. Andy Darley from the UK was one of 50,000 players who took part in the alternate reality game, Perplex City.

Gamers from 92 countries have solved clues on the web and around the world in a quest for the Receda Cube, an "artefact" buried in a hidden location.

Mr Darley eventually tracked the object to a wood in Northamptonshire. Finding it nets him £100,000 ($200,000).
