Getting Ready for School

Remember, you only have a limited time to get them ready, so make up your mind quickly. When you're happy with their outfits, press the button. You will be asked if you are ready to head to school.
Select LET'S GO and press the button to advance. If you select NO WAY! and press the button, you'll remain in the dressing room.
Tip: There's no scoring here, this one's just for fun.
Introduction
When you arrive at school, a brief video introduction explains the situation with the torn pieces of the note and Mary-Kate and Ashley's plan to find out what's going on. There are introductions before each challenge, too. You can skip the introductions and go right to the game by pressing the button or the START button.
The School Hall System
You will find yourself in the central hallway of the high school. A Hall Hub is a common central meeting place, in this case the corridor of the school. There are three Hall Hub areas in the school: Freshman Hall, Sophomore Hall and Junior & Senior Hall.
When you first start a new game, you'll only be able to enter the Freshman Hall area. From here, you can get to any level and do any activity that's open there.
At the next door (Sophomore Hall), you'll find different challenges. Complete these, then go on to Junior & Senior Hall challenges.
How to Use a Hall Hub
You can walk into any open classroom or area to launch a new activity or challenge.
Completing Levels
You are trying to find all the pieces of the note in order to find out who your secret admirers are. When you complete a challenge on a hall level, you will get another piece of the note. Once you get them all, you'll be able to tell which fabulous guy is fond of you.
Scoring
Each challenge has a required number of points. In order to "pass" the level, you must score enough points in the time allowed. If you don't score enough points, you can try again.
The Pause Screen
During a game, pressing the START button will pause the game and bring up the Pause Menu. Highlight an option and press the button to select it. You'll have these choices:
•
Continue Resume play where you paused.
•
Sound Volume Adjust sound effects and music/movie volumes by pressing or on the directional buttons. Left is lower, right is higher.
•
