A PIXILLION™ things ROOMMATES can do together!

Having your own house is so much fun! And you can't wait for your friends to move in and be roomies! But there's work involved with being roommates. Who will cook the meals? Who will clean the house? Will everyone get along? Everyone wants to be the queen of the house! Play Pixel Chix^™ Roomies^™ House and see who becomes the queen!

Let's move in!

When the unit is turned on for the first time, the Pixel Chix™ gal will be in the living room. Move the screen to the living room, follow the ROOM PROMPT ARROWS, and Pixel Chix™ gal takes you on a tour of the house.

Open the garage doors and plug in the character included into the matching footprint. Close the doors and the ROOM PROMPT ARROW appears on the screen. Follow the ARROW to find the room the character is in.

There are 6 rooms in your house. Let's take a tour!

Move the screen up and down, right and left, to choose a room. There are 6 rooms:

Your friend wants to move in!

Add up to 4 Pixel Chix^™ Roomies^™ Friends (sold separately), for a total of 6 roommates, including the Pixel Chix™ gal.

Open the garage doors and plug in the character included into the matching footprint. Close the doors and the ROOM PROMPT ARROW appears on the screen. Follow the arrow to find the room the character is in.

How do you get to be queen of the house?

Playing games and cleaning your room earns you points. When a roomie has moved in (by putting a character into her matching footprint in the garage), the 2 roomies can compete in challenges to earn more points. (These house challenges are between 2 or more characters, and are in the living room only.) The active character wins 5 points for each challenge won.

The gal with 16 points gets to be queen of the house! What does that mean? That means you get to stay in the master bedroom, use the master bathroom and unlock a surprise! Oh la la!
