Special guest visits
Special visits are a special kind of investment that require you to please a special guest before being rewarded. If you fail, you will have to try over and pay for the opportunity again. Each special guest has their own preferences, and can not all be dealt with the same.
It is recommended to save before they arrive, as their visit is somewhat random, and they might not be satisfied, while if you restart the game and try again, they might be.
