Designer Intel Hub's main screen.
The Designer Intel Hub is a feature under the Design Center that can be unlocked upon passing Chapter 2-3. The Hub was founded by Vivian[1] to collect more additional information during Nikki's journey and consists of various columns from the Shining Pictorial magazine, which can be unlocked either from advancing in the Main Story or by exchanging Mysterious Clues. The latter is granted upon completing investigations in the hub, capped at ten investigations across all columns per day.
Investigations[]

Starting an investigation.
Players receive ten investigations chances per day, which do not stack. Unlike other activities, the player may not purchase extra investigation attempts. Each chance can be used to start an investigation, alternatively known as an exploration mission, at any of the unlocked columns. Each mission consists of six separate searches—either a short side story or a brief countdown period—which are located across the available Main Story maps and grant small rewards after completion.
Players may manually go through or wait for each investigation or they may alternatively use the automatic investigation feature. Obtaining the Privilege Card will allow them to skip the investigation entirely. Skipping an investigation will cost 30 Pink Gems. The first two attempts are free of charge.
Of the six searches, the initial five searches gives 10 Intel for the investigated column, plus 1 Poetry of Time and 200
Gold. The sixth search has the chance to generate Exclusive Intel retrieval attempts from special events, which can either add an additional 60 Intel or 10 Intel, depending on if 10
Pink Gems or 500
Gold are used to retrieve, respectively. In the event where Exclusive Intel retrieval is available, the sixth search rewards 2-3
Poetry of Time and one retrieval attempt. Otherwise, it procures the same rewards as the first five searches.
Each investigation chance costs Stamina, increasing as more investigations are made.
