Are you ready to turn your creative struggles into creative brilliance? If you or the gamer in your life loves fashion, friendship, and a splash of drama, it’s time to head to the Xbox for Rainbow High: Runway Rush.

I dove into the colorful world of Rainbow High to see if this adventure lives up to the school’s motto: “Let your true colors shine.” Here is my look at the game.

The Assignment: Everything is Art

The game kicks off with a burst of excitement. A loudspeaker announcement calls all first-year students to Room 112 for a massive reveal. The premise is simple but engaging: the students are given their first big art assignment with the theme “Everything is Art.”

The stakes are high. You aren’t just making art for a grade; you are competing for the chance to plan a major school project. It’s the perfect setup to get players invested in the story right away.

Meet the Squad

One of the game’s biggest strengths is the character roster. You get to play as the core favorites:

  • Ruby
  • Poppy
  • Sunny
  • Jade
  • Skyler
  • Violet

The gameplay revolves around utilizing each character’s unique talents. You aren’t just running around; you have to work together to present your best work. The game does a great job of emphasizing that while these characters are BFFs, the project can get . You have to help them overcome their differences and bond to succeed.

Explore the Campus

For fans of the series, exploring the school is a highlight. The game encourages you to take a full tour to find inspiration. We found plenty to do in these iconic locations:

  • The Atrium: You can’t miss the majestic unicorn here.
  • The Student Lounge: A perfect spot to play mini-games or take in-game selfies.
  • Sunny’s Bedroom: A great stop while moving through the Residence Corridors.
  • The Fabric Studio: located on the first floor of the Rainbow Union, this is where the fashion magic happens.

Tip: Don’t just rush to the objective! Stop by the common rooms to catch up on the latest “tea” with other students.

Gameplay Loop: Collect & Create

The game isn’t just about the story; there are plenty of collectibles to keep completionists happy. As you traverse the school, keep your eyes peeled for Rainbow Diamonds.

You also need to play detective. By finding clues scattered throughout the environments, you can crack the codes to Rainbow Lockers. Opening these, along with using character talents, allows you to unlock cool new outfits. It adds a rewarding layer of progression—the more you play, the more fashionable you become.

Final Verdict

Rainbow High: Runway Rush captures the brand’s spirit perfectly. It is a game about creativity, navigating friendship, and exploring a world fans already love. It’s colorful, joyous, and encourages players to believe that if they can make it through Rainbow High, they can make it through anything.
