Yeah, I mean, yeah, it technically falls under transmedia. I don’t know. We refer to it as viewer-engaged content, where this is a show you probably want to put your phone down and watch the screen for a change and pay attention, because paying attention can lead you to that $100,000 prize. In terms of examples, there’s board games out there. There’s things that challenge you, like quiz games and things, some of them set in the true crime world, true crime podcasts, really, and the sort of love for murder mysteries is just the real core. There’s not any specific example that we followed or not really anything exactly like this that we could find. Maybe there’s something out there that we’ve missed trying to explore, but when I heard the idea from William, I thought, this is just awesome. I would 100% participate, and if I’m going to watch TV anyways, why not watch TV and try to win $100,000? But I do think when I listen to true crime podcasts or narrative murder mysteries, everything from what’s the only murders in the building or the Ryan Johnson Knives Out series, the fun of it is trying to guess and try to see if you’re correct in solving the case before they reveal who it is. So, we’re just sort of helping to put the audience in the driver’s seat in that detective position.
