Part 1
Crash: Where am I gonna live, Danny?
You lead Crash to the new Stunt Dorm… and his jaw drops!
Danny: So… what do you think?
Crash: Is this… heaven?
Ethan: Something like that.
Crash: Aw man, this place is insane! It’s like all the most hardcore stuff rolled into one!
Danny: So, you’re ready to enroll?
Crash: Hell yeah!
Rewards
You and Ethan bring Crash to the Admissions Office so he can start filling out his enrollment forms. As you enter the Admissions Office, you hear someone calling your name.
Bianca: There you are, Danny! I’ve been looking all over for you.
Danny: You have? Why?
Bianca: My dad’s hosting a wrap party for ‘Clash at Sunset’ tonight, and unfortunately that means you and all your weird friends are invited.
Crash: We’ll be there!
Danny: Yeah. We will.
Bianca: I was worried you’d say that.
Bianca stalks away, leaving you, Ethan, and Crash to continue into the Admissions Office.
Part 2
Crash: Look out, college! Crash imminent!
Crash: Woo! Going to college! Achievement unlocked! On the real, Danny, no one’s ever done anything like this for me before. Thank you.
Danny: Hey, you deserve to be here. Welcome to Hollywood U! And you’re just in time! We can celebrate at the wrap party for ‘Clash at Sunset’!
Ethan: Sounds good. Let’s not get too wild, though… the party’s at Anders’s mansion, and there’s sure to be a lot of big names there.
Rewards
You check in with the cast and crew of ‘Clash at Sunset’ to see if everyone’s ready for the party.
Jenni: Uh oh. Hashtag loser invasion.
Bianca: Ugh. Do we actually have to go to the wrap party together? I’d rather not be seen with you and your loser entourage…
Addison: Oh, like we want nothing more than to be seen with you, Bianca.
Danny: Can everyone just focus, please? We’re about to go to the wrap party for ‘Clash at Sunset’! This is a good thing!
Lisa: Then let’s go! Why are we still arguing about this?
Dean: I’m going to sit this one out, actually. Now that we’re done filming, I want to get started on the special effects.
Shae: You’re not going, Dean? That’s too bad.
Dean: No, it’s totally fine. I’m not much of a party guy, and there are a lot of explosions, gunshot wounds, and lasers that still have to be added.
Lisa: Less talk, more partying! LET’S GO!
Part 3
Ethan: Nothing like a classy wrap party to celebrate a job well done.
You and your ‘Clash at Sunset’ team arrive at Anders Stone’s beachside mansion for the wrap party.
Addison: I don’t know what’s more intimidating… this huge house or all the big-name industry figures inside it!
Lisa: Yeah… partying with a bunch of mid-forties rich guys isn’t really what I had in mind…
Danny: There are a lot of guys in suits around…
Bianca: Welcome to my world. You’re probably all a little nervous, being around so much money and fame… try to keep up.
Jenni: Burn! Are you guys okay? Do you need some aloe vera for all those burns you just got?
Just then, a woman clutching a journalist’s notepad squeezes through the crowd.
May Gordon: Ooh, arguing? Bickering? Sounds like there’s a story here! May Gordon, L.A. Biweekly. Miss Stone, how has it been working with disgraced former actress Miss Sinclair?
Addison: Disgraced former actress?
Ethan: No one say anything. No comment.
Bianca: Oh, but I’ve got something to say. It’s been a nightmare, Miss Gordon. Addi here is not a star. She really should’ve stayed out of the limelight. And don’t even get me started on working with Danny and Lisa Valentine, or as I call them, the desperate wannabe and the prepubescent has-been.
Lisa: Um, excuse me?! I’m, like, two years younger than you!
Anders Stone: Is there a problem here?
The crowd parts as Anders Stone walks up to you.
Anders Stone: Ms. Gordon. I don’t recall inviting you to this party. Kindly leave my house before I call the police and have you arrested for trespassing.
May Gordon leaves in a hurry, her face flushed but her notepad filled with gossip.
Anders Stone: I hope you didn’t tell her anything that could hurt us in the press. I’m trying to show this film at the Sundance film festival, and the last thing we need is a scandal.
Bianca: Well, she asked about Addison, and I…
Addison: And you made it sound like our movie is a disaster!
Anders Stone: Bianca… how could you be so stupid? Do you think your sister would have allowed petty bickering to get in the way of her career?
Bianca: No… but… I…
Anders Stone: I don’t want to hear it.
Rewards
Anders Stone: This stops now. You do not waste an opportunity to promote the film. I want you all to take some time… go to a day spa or take a trip somewhere, I don’t care, just get out of L.A. and iron out these issues.
Crash: Can I handle this? I’ve got a great destination in mind… it’s a real hidden gem type of place, and I think--
Anders Stone: I don’t need to hear the details. Just don’t let this become a problem again.
Anders turns his back on you and strides away.
Bianca: We’re not seriously going to let Crash plan our vacation, are we?
Crash: You heard your dad. I’m in charge. Danny, we’re going to need someone with a big SUV to drive us. Can you call someone?
Danny: On it!
Part 4
Danny: Who do I know who drives an SUV?
The next day, your group is squeezed into Alexandra’s SUV, bouncing along a heavily forested mountain road.
Crash: Welcome to the San Gabriel Mountains!
Ethan: Man, I had no idea this was here… it’s like a mini Yosemite right next to L.A.
Alexandra: Okay, we’ve just entered Angeles National Forest… where’s our destination, Crash?
Jenni: Yeah, where are we going? Is there some kind of spa retreat up here?
Crash: Something like that… right here’s good, Alexandra.
Alexandra: Are you sure? I don’t see any buildings or people or any signs of civilization, really.
Crash: That’s the idea.
You all pile out of the SUV, and Crash waves to Alexandra.
Crash: Thanks, Alexandra. We’ll give you a call when we’re ready to be picked up.
Alexandra: Uh, okay… see ya.
As Alexandra’s SUV disappears around a bend in the road, Shae checks her phone.
Shae: Uh… Crash? How are we going to call Alexandra if there’s no cell service up here?
Crash: No cell service? Looks like we’ll have to work together to trek all the way back to civilization!
Danny: Was this your plan all along?
Crash: Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe you should all start hiking!
Time - 6 hours
Bianca: You expect us to walk all the way back to L.A.?!
Lance Sergio: That could take weeks! I have a very strict skin care regimen. Skipping even one day could result in less than flawless skin!
Crash: First of all, we only have to walk to an area with cell service. I checked on the way in, and it’s not that far back. A day’s hike, maybe two.
Danny: Two days of hiking? That sounds like fun.
Crash: That’s the spirit, Danny! I wish everyone else had your enthusiasm!
Addison: Couldn’t you have at least told us to pack supplies or something?
Lisa: Yeah, this honestly couldn’t get any worse…
Just then, a peal of thunder echoes through the mountains. Heavy drops of rain start to patter down on your group.
Lisa: Ahhh!
Shae: My makeup!
Lance Sergio: My hair!
Crash: Don’t you see? There’s so much we take for granted, but out here, all of those things are luxuries!
Bianca: Yeah, that’s why we stay in L.A., genius.
Rewards
Your group waits out the storm under a canopy of pine trees, but you still end up soaked to the bone by the time it’s over.
Danny: So… c-c-cold…
Ethan: Can we please find a way to dry off before my suit is permanently water damaged?
Crash: Being able to start a fire with whatever’s at hand is pretty much the most important survival skill. Empty your pockets, guys. Let’s see what we’ve got to work with.
You all turn out your pockets and purses and dump the contents in a pile on the forest floor.
Crash: Hey, a mirror! We can use this to focus light and burn some kindling!
Lance Sergio: Okay, but I need it back afterward. No one takes my compact.
Addison: We don’t have anything to burn, though… all the branches got wet in the storm. If only we had some paper or something…
You reach into your pocket and pull out an envelope full of cash.
Danny: I guess… I guess this is the only way. Goodbye, sweet cash.
Part 5
Danny: Goodbye, twenties. Goodbye, fifties. Goodbye, all my money.
You sadly crumple up bills and stack them with fallen branches and twigs. You strike a match, and the bills start to curl in the fire.
Danny: Sigh… there it goes.
Crash: Don’t be sad, Danny. With all this cash from your benefactor, you’ve got money to burn! Get it? Money to burn?
Danny: Yeah. That’s really funny. Especially since I haven’t even heard from my benefactor in a while. I might never get another envelope full of cash!
Soon, the branches have dried enough to catch on fire. Shae and Addison build a small circle of stones around the fire to keep it from spreading.
Crash: Okay, we’ve got fire, but now we need shelter. We lost too much time during that storm, so we’ll have to start our hike bright and early tomorrow morning.
Bianca: You expect us to sleep here?
Crash: Why not? As long as we’ve got a fire to keep us warm and a roof over our heads, we’ll be fine.
Ethan: Let’s get started on that roof, then. Maybe we can build a lean-to with some of the bigger branches around here…
Crash: Lance, can you give us a hand?
Lance Sergio: Okay. But only because I don’t want to die from exposure.
While Crash, Ethan, and Lance build a makeshift shelter, you tend the fire with Addison, Lisa, and Shae.
Danny: Bianca, do you think you could help out a bit?
Addison: Remember, we wouldn’t even be here if you hadn’t said that stuff to May Gordon.
Bianca: Like it matters what I said. Nothing I do is ever going to be good enough for my father. Why should I even try? I mean, you have no idea how hard it is to have him watching every little thing I do. I just want him off my back for one freaking day!
Jenni: Totally.
Shae: Parents suck.
Addison: I get what you’re saying… but honestly, I wish my parents could be around more. My mom’s sick, and she can’t even make it out to visit anymore. She’s been really excited about our movie, scouring newspapers and magazines every day for news about it… and now the first thing she reads will be may Gordon’s article slamming me.
Bianca: Oh.
Everyone sits in silence for a while, the only sounds the crackling of the fire and the wind in the trees.
Bianca: Well… that sucks. I’m… I didn’t mean for it to be like that.
Danny: Is that… an apology?
Bianca: No! Whatever. Camping sucks. Just forget it.
Rewards
As the sun sets over the treetops, Ethan lays the last branch on the lean-to, and you all crowd underneath.
Ethan: This actually isn’t that bad, you know? We’ve got a warm fire, beautiful scenery, and the ground’s surprisingly comfortable.
Lance Sergio: Plus, it smells just like my face scrub out here. Basically this whole forest smells like my face.
Shae: Ew… don’t ruin it for me.
Crash: We should probably turn in soon. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover tomorrow.
Part 6
Crash: Rise and shine, team!
The next morning, you wake to the sound of sizzling bacon.
Crash: Good morning! Breakfast’s almost ready, and then we can hit the trail!
Addison: Bacon? Eggs? Hashbrowns?! Where did all of this come from?
Crash: You didn’t think I’d let you starve, did you?
Ethan: I gotta say, I was still a little resentful toward you for dragging us out here, but I am one hundred percent on Team Crash right now.
After breakfast, Crash puts out the fire, and your group starts the long hike back to civilization.
Lance Sergio: My calves are gonna be so swole after this!
Jenni: So… sore… and tired…
After a few hours’ trek, the creekside path you’ve been following runs out by a waterfall.
Crash: Huh. I guess the trails up here haven’t been maintained.
Lisa: Hey, look! I can see a road down there… if we can reach it, I bet we’d be in range of cell service!
Addison: But how are we going to get there? There’s no trail…
Crash peers over the edge of the waterfall. Twenty feet below, the creek pours into a deep pool a short distance away from the road.
Crash: Anyone up for a swim?
One by one, your friends leap off the lip of the waterfall and into the water below!
Ethan: Woo!
Crash: CANNONBALL!
Shae: Ahh!
Lance Sergio: Splash fight!
Jenni: Hey, stop!
Soon, it’s just you, Lisa, Addison, and Bianca left.
Bianca: Hey, does anyone want to help me find a way down there that doesn’t involve falling twenty feet?
Lisa: But this is so much faster!
Addison: And more fun!
Bianca: Well, not everyone likes heights, you know. Definitely not me…
You take a step toward Bianca.
Danny: How about this… We can all jump together. On three?
Bianca: I don’t know…
You, Lisa, and Addison link hands with Bianca.
Lisa: One…
Addison: Two…
Danny: THREE!
Bianca: AAAAAHHHH!
The four of you hit the water with a splash!
Bianca: Am I alive?
Danny: See? That wasn’t so bad, was it?
Bianca: I guess not. And… thanks.
Crash goes to call your driver while your group relaxes in the cool water of the forest pool.
Addison: Honestly? This might be better than a spa retreat… the water’s so refreshing!
Bianca: I don’t know if anything’s better than a spa day, but I have to admit… coming here wan’t completely horrible.
Crash: Glad you enjoyed it. But our ride’s here with towels and dry clothes! Who’s ready to go back to Hollywood?
Rewards
A few hours later, you arrive back at campus.
Dean: There you are! I’ve been looking for you all day!
Danny: Sorry about that. We got a little… lost in the woods.
Dean: That would explain why everyone smells like Christmas trees and has twigs in their hair. Anyway. Back to the point. I finished the final edits to the movie!
Part 7
Danny: Time to watch our movie!
Danny: You’re done editing ‘Clash at Sunset’? How’s it looking?
Dean: Why don’t you watch it and tell me? I’ve got a digital copy on this flash drive here!
You turn to your friends.
Danny: I know everyone here is probably ready for a hot shower and a bowl of soup… But those will have to wait! Right now, we’ve got a movie to watch: Clash at Sunset!
Time - 8 hours
Everyone settles into the campus theater, and Dean plugs his flash drive into the sound booth’s computer.
Dean: Okay, everyone! Quiet down and silence your cell phones… it’s showtime!
The movie begins. Music plays as the camera pans across a torched L.A. cityscape.
Danny: This looks so good!
Dean: Just a little stock footage… plus about a hundred hours of me using After Effects.
Soon, the movie is in full swing. You watch as your cast delivers some memorable lines!
Lisa: Evolve this, Mutant Scum!
Addison: It’s a dirty world… it’s time for the Burners to clean it up. With FIRE!
Danny: Great performances, everyone!
Ethan: It’s all thanks to your directing, Danny!
In the next scene, Bianca stands overlooking the Pacific, which is littered with sunken aircraft carriers.
Bianca: I have to admit… this movie makes me looks hot!

As the final credits roll, everyone cheers!
Addison: This is so good!
Ethan: Brace yourselves people. A tidal wave of money is coming our way.
From the back of the theater, you hear a slow clap.
Danny: Huh? Who’s that.
Anders Stone: Impressive work, Danny. And I’m not the only one who thinks so… I just got off the phone with my contact on the Sundance Selection Committee…
Danny: Wait… you’re not saying…
Anders Stone: They’ve accepted ‘Clash at Sunset’ in the film festival. Pack your bags. You’re heading to Sundance.
Everyone is getting along… let’s hope they’re ready to face May Gordon and the rest of the press at the festival! Keep playing to see what happens when your entourage heads to the Sundance Film Festival!

Danny: There are a lot of guys in suits around…

The next morning, you wake to the sound of sizzling bacon.

Addison: Bacon? Eggs? Hashbrowns?! Where did all of this come from?
Crash: You didn’t think I’d let you starve, did you?
Ethan: I gotta say, I was still a little resentful toward you for dragging us out here, but I am one hundred percent on Team Crash right now.
After breakfast, Crash puts out the fire, and your group starts the long hike back to civilization.

Crash goes to call your driver while your group relaxes in the cool water of the forest pool.
Addison: Honestly? This might be better than a spa retreat… the water’s so refreshing!
Bianca: I don’t know if anything’s better than a spa day, but I have to admit… coming here wan’t completely horrible.
Crash: Glad you enjoyed it. But our ride’s here with towels and dry clothes! Who’s ready to go back to Hollywood?

A few hours later, you arrive back at campus.
Dean: There you are! I’ve been looking for you all day!
Danny: Sorry about that. We got a little… lost in the woods.
Dean: That would explain why everyone smells like Christmas trees and has twigs in their hair. Anyway. Back to the point. I finished the final edits to the movie!
Part 7
Danny: Time to watch our movie!
- Level 20+ Danny
Danny: You’re done editing ‘Clash at Sunset’? How’s it looking?
Dean: Why don’t you watch it and tell me? I’ve got a digital copy on this flash drive here!
You turn to your friends.
Danny: I know everyone here is probably ready for a hot shower and a bowl of soup… But those will have to wait! Right now, we’ve got a movie to watch: Clash at Sunset!
Time - 8 hours
Everyone settles into the campus theater, and Dean plugs his flash drive into the sound booth’s computer.
Dean: Okay, everyone! Quiet down and silence your cell phones… it’s showtime!
The movie begins. Music plays as the camera pans across a torched L.A. cityscape.
Danny: This looks so good!
Dean: Just a little stock footage… plus about a hundred hours of me using After Effects.
Soon, the movie is in full swing. You watch as your cast delivers some memorable lines!
Lisa: Evolve this, Mutant Scum!
Addison: It’s a dirty world… it’s time for the Burners to clean it up. With FIRE!
Danny: Great performances, everyone!
Ethan: It’s all thanks to your directing, Danny!
In the next scene, Bianca stands overlooking the Pacific, which is littered with sunken aircraft carriers.
Bianca: I have to admit… this movie makes me looks hot!

As the final credits roll, everyone cheers!
Addison: This is so good!
Ethan: Brace yourselves people. A tidal wave of money is coming our way.
From the back of the theater, you hear a slow clap.
Danny: Huh? Who’s that.
Anders Stone: Impressive work, Danny. And I’m not the only one who thinks so… I just got off the phone with my contact on the Sundance Selection Committee…
Danny: Wait… you’re not saying…
Anders Stone: They’ve accepted ‘Clash at Sunset’ in the film festival. Pack your bags. You’re heading to Sundance.
Everyone is getting along… let’s hope they’re ready to face May Gordon and the rest of the press at the festival! Keep playing to see what happens when your entourage heads to the Sundance Film Festival!
