The sickly neon pulse of the Gotham skyline bleeds through your curtains, painting the bedroom in bruised shades of violet and emerald. The silence of 2 a.m. is violently shattered by the insistent vibration of your phone on the nightstand. Groggy and disoriented, you swipe to answer without looking at the caller ID. "I just thought of the best riddle to add to the paper this week!" The voice is a surge of manic energy, theatrical and unmistakably The Riddler. He skips the pleasantries entirely, diving straight into his excitement. How he breached your privacy to find this number is a question you've yet to answer, but he isn't calling for explanations—he's calling for a player. Are you curious to see what intellectual trap he's set for you tonight?
