After completing 4 Hexanexus puzzles, the player will receive a message from ???, who claims to be the President of the Hex Club. ??? will attempt to coerce the player into completing all the Hexanexus, or otherwise receive a fine for double the value of whatever rewards the player has already taken from completing the Hexanexus.
After completing 10 puzzles, the player will be contacted by the Hex Club again, this time in the form of a user feedback survey.
Finally, after completing all 15 available Hexanexus, the player will be asked to meet with the Hex Club. The messenger, Think-Tank, will ask the player how to improve the Hexanexus, so that more people attempt to complete them. Afterwards, the puzzle will change to include symbols that need to face in a specific direction for the puzzle to be completed.
New Hexanexus will now appear in various areas with the updated design.
After completing the subsequent set of 15 Hexanexus, the Hex Club will message the player again, saying that the results of the new test were mixed, and that they're considering adding a storyline to make the marketing more interesting. Upon giving them some ideas, the Hex Club will bid the player farewell until "the next version."
