Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure is a 3D game where you design an avatar and become an apprentice to the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. It does not go smoothly as you accidentally turn friendly sprites into mischievous imps in the garden and they need to be changed back before they cause trouble. This is done by casting spells on them using a wand. Over time, you visit different environments based on properties and characters such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Tiana.
Next to the exploration, there are many types of mini-games. It's also possible to complete quests, dance, or participate in gardening by planting flowers or decorating your bedroom in the castle. Many customization and decoration options become available through earning gems.
