LifeSelector is known for its "Choose Your Own Adventure" style, and Opportunity Knocks typically plays on a classic trope. The title suggests a scenario involving an unexpected visit, a job prospect, or a door-to-door encounter.

But the deeper meaning is about the user’s opportunity to engage with a fantasy that feels alive.
