Persons of Interest

🕵️

Det. Mittens

Three feet of gray flannel and relentless determination. Reads a poker face like nobody's business. Solves every Hold'em mystery eventually. Some take a nap first. Or two.

🐦

Frank the Pigeon

Mittens's most reliable informant, mostly because Frank is easily bribed with bread crumbs. Suspected of stealing the Ace of Hearts from the Hold'em deck. Twice.

The Hat

A mysterious hat found at the scene of every poker game. Nobody knows who it belongs to. It refuses to comment.

"In this town, everybody's got a poker tell. Frank's is bread-related."— Det. Mittens, case notes, Tuesday
"COO. COO INDEED."— Frank, declining further comment

The Line-Up

Mittens adjusts her trench coat. The interrogation begins.

Closed Cases (FAQs)

Are the Texas Hold'em mysteries scary?

Not remotely. The spookiest thing in any case file is a slightly stale cracker. Frank hoarded it. Case closed.

What does it cost to hire Mittens?

Mittens works for belly rubs and the occasional sandwich. For you, it's completely free — plays right in your browser.

Who is The Hat?

We're still working on that one. Mittens has a corkboard with red string connecting to it. The string leads nowhere yet. But it will.
