Hooked Inc: Who to Hire First
Hire Rodrick first (13 gems, Shallow Coast), then Sailorson and Gina. That order is a 2020 community list. The Play Store still calls the game offline. Checked 2026-11-12.

This is not Roblox Hooked!. Hooked Inc: Fishing Games is Lion Studios’ older mobile game. The Play Store page I read on 2026-11-12 shows 10 million-plus downloads, a 4.6 score from 1.51 million reviews, an update on 24 Oct 2026, Android and Windows, ads, and purchases that include random items. The live listing showed 24 Oct 2026; cached search results still showed 8 Sep 2026. The store tags it Offline. That answers “is Hooked Inc an offline game.”
The loop on the store page and the wiki is: swipe to catch, hire crew, upgrade the boat, open new water, and join a daily tournament. The game keeps producing while you are away.
The hire order in the table comes from the Hooked Inc wiki, which credits a 2020 Facebook group called Hooked-Inc Community. Labby and Mahku are marked there as special-ability hires. I am not calling this the only correct order. A 2020 list can be wrong after six years of updates, and I have no 2026 crew sheet to replace it.
