Trivia

 * As confirmed by the developers of the game, Pacific Bay was mostly modeled after California.
 * However, some of the districts in Pacific Bay may be more resemblant to other US states (e.g. Bayou Bleu and Jazz Town are heavily similar to Louisiana).
 * After the player unlocks Pacific Bay, a new feature is added to their gameplay—"Travel to Another City". With it, the player can switch between Grimsborough and Pacific Bay anytime and as many times as they want. This feature was mainly added so that Pacific Bay players could travel back to Grimsborough in order to earn their remaining Gold Medals.
 * Unlike Grimsborough's map, the Pacific Bay map features specific hints near a case mark, which hints the player about the murder detail of a particular case (The player must zoom in on the map to notice these specific hints).
 * For example, when you zoom in on the Case #2 mark, you can spot a car crash right beside it, which was intended to simulate the murder cause featured in that very case.
 * Similar to Grimsborough, each district in Pacific Bay features a different theme and/or focuses on a particular event/main character, as described in the following:
 * Ocean Shore features a beach-themed urban setting, and mainly deals with raving people and lawbreakers who have a tendency to participate in illicit activities.
 * Bayou Bleu is all about voodoo and magic. The fad, however, is discovered to be nothing but just a cover-up for a serial killer spree in which a voodoo mastermind turns out to have been manipulating the Bayou into thinking that voodoo magic is real.
 * Inner City deals with the violent Russo-Chinese community feud. It also focuses on Hannah Choi and her past ties with a group of anarchists known as Inner Chaos, who try to intensify the community feud.
 * Jazz Town mainly focuses on Hurricane Yves—a storm which had recently hit the district, taking the lives of several innocents and causing many to become homeless—and Hurricane Zelda, an incoming storm. As the investigation goes on, there comes theories about the hurricanes being man-made storms, and stories about a serial killer named "The Puppeteer" surface up as well—and both turn out to be true. The district also focuses on the upcoming annual Jazz Town Carnival and the tragic past of Yann Toussaint.
 * Pacific Bay is currently unavailable on the iOS version of the game, but will soon be released as reported by the developers.
