Grab your coffin-shaped phones and sharpen those fangs—it’s time to head back to school! Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets has officially dropped on Xbox, and it’s giving us all the “voltageous” vibes we’ve been craving.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Boo Crew or a newcomer looking for a spooky-chic adventure, this game promises a mix of mystery, fashion, and platforming fun. Here is the lowdown on what it’s like to be the new ghoul on campus.

Your First Day (With a Twist)

The game kicks off on your very first day at Monster High. But instead of just worrying about your schedule, you’re immediately thrust into a mystery. Strange events are shaking the halls, and ancient keys are appearing out of nowhere.

As the newest member of the student body, it’s up to you to team up with the iconic trio—Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, and Frankie Stein—to uncover the secrets of the Hidden Rooms and restore the school to its authentic, spooky glory.

Be Yourself. Be Unique. Be a Monster.

One of the highlights of Skulltimate Secrets is the Character Creator. You aren’t just playing as a pre-set character; you get to build your own unique monster.

  • Monster Kinds: Choose your lineage (Are you feeling more werewolf or vampire today?).
  • Scary-Chic Style: The vault is packed with outfits that stay true to the Monster High aesthetic.
  • Skills: Your choice of monster type influences how you navigate the world.

Gameplay: Skills and Exploration

The gameplay revolves around exploring the sprawling Monster High campus and unlocking powerful new skills to reach new areas. It feels like a light “Metroidvania” designed for fans of all ages. You’ll find yourself:

  • Using the Vampire Jump: Reach high-up ledges and hidden balconies.
  • Executing the Gorgon Dash: Zip through the halls with supernatural speed.
  • Solving Puzzles: Use your “creeperific” clues to unlock those mysterious ancient doors.

The school itself is a character in its own right, filled with nods to the series that fans will absolutely love.

Final Verdict

Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets is a hex-citing addition to the Xbox library. It captures the “Be Yourself, Be Unique” spirit of the brand perfectly while offering a loop of exploration and customization that keeps you coming back for “one more room.”
