The mayor's son is missing from a Pac Heights hacker mansion, and the housemates' stories don't line up. You're not flying back. You're solving this from a beach chair. You investigate from Aloha's phone — and your vacation keeps getting interrupted as the case widens. › Interrogate by Text Open a thread, ask your questions, watch a suspect deflect.

Work the whole house, then call Tanaka back and present your theory. › House drama, or a bigger conspiracy? A pre-revenue CEO who answers every question with a pitch deck. A wellness guru who deflects. A streamer narrating his own life. Plus the rest of the house — and a few of them know more than they're letting on. Chapter 1 is free.
