Sabotage Detected — Investigation Open

Pilot Program — Fullerton School District

“We couldn’t stop. Teachers kept resubmitting just to get a better score — not because they had to, but because they wanted to. By the end we knew our teammates in a completely different way. We gained confidence we didn’t expect.”

Reigning Champion.

Korean American. He won the crown last season — and was immediately signed as the company’s lead touring dancer and head choreographer for the company. He is the face of everything Top K-Pop Entertainment wants the world to see.

Every crown casts a shadow. And somewhere in this investigation, the truth behind his will surface.

Your AI Super Sleuth Guide

I know this investigation inside and out. Ask me anything about the game — how to register, who is eligible, how to play, where to submit, what the Oracle is looking for, or how scoring works. I'm here to help. Just don't ask me who the saboteur is.

How do I register? Who is eligible? What is Trove 1? How does scoring work? Do I need Instagram? What is the prize?
