Fashion Battle

Phone / tablet

Tap the item icon you want at each stop along the runway; your model walks on her own.

Click the item icons with the mouse as they appear; that's the whole control scheme.

Only three items show up at each stop and only one matches the theme, so the game is a series of quick three-way multiple-choice questions dressed as styling.

1. Say the theme out loud first. Every wrong pick I made was from forgetting whether this round was sporty or formal. Fix the theme in your head before the first stop.
2. Pick the plainest match. The flashiest of the three is often the decoy. The item that literally fits the theme word wins.
3. Never skip a stop. Missing a prompt leaves your model incomplete and the judges punish that harder than a slightly off choice.
4. Treat it as five minutes. That's the right dose. Past that, the themes repeat and the quiz shows through.

Both end on a catwalk and both are about choosing clothes under mild pressure. Fashion Battle stops your model at prompts and offers three items; the theme decides which one is right, and a wrong pick can end the game. Build a Queen is a runner where you steer through one of two options at each gate; the judging is looser and the reveal is the reward.

If you want to be told you got it right, Fashion Battle is the stricter quiz. If you want to build a look that feels like yours, Build a Queen is the better dress-up. This is the thinner of the two; it's also the quicker, which counts for something on a phone.
