Introduction:
Come roam the halls of Monster High and get to know your new classmates. Join clubs, make friends and dress up in fierce fashions. But be aware, there’s something strange going on at Monster High! Cleo’s new amulet has been cursed by the spirit of Spookenhamen, and the student body is falling under his spell. Use your skills and savvy to help save the school and all your new classmates from the mummy’s curse! Be Yourself. Be Unique. Be a Monster.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
The game plays fairly straightforward. You will be given tasks or events and simply have to collect something for a classmate, talk to someone in the school or do an activity in order to complete the event. There are some collectibles littered all over the school (see the achievements for more info) and you need to collect coins in order to purchase clothing. None of the achievements are difficult and you won't even have to check this guide more than a couple times at most in order to get full completion.

You don't need to worry about completing tasks in a time frame or order. It's somewhat linear but you can choose the order you do the events and there are no steps or sequences that affect the achievements (or gameplay).

Mop-Up:
You will probably have to grind out some coins for a bit if you weren't diligent in collecting during the game and/or didn't spend wisely when clothing items came on sale. Just tour around the school collecting coins, head back home (remember to get points for making your bed and cleaning your room) and start over the next day. See individual achievements for more detail.

Conclusion:
I'm a heterosexual man in my late 30's. I don't think I'm part of the demographic they intended the game for. That said, it wasn't a completely terrible game. Would I buy it or play it again? Not a chance. But to kill 10 hours, it wasn't too bad. If your child is into this cartoon, it's probably great for them. If you're just looking for an easy 1000, then this one is as good as it gets in terms of ease and time.

Find all the Shortcuts.

There are a couple little side rooms off hallways that look like closets. Just go in there and move a box or statue out of the way, which reveals a hidden passage. You only need to go through three of them (hallway, attic and graveyard) and they are fairly obvious, so don't fret about finding them.
Social Butterfly

75
Meet all the characters in Monster High.
Talk to anyone and everyone you see. What I did, was make my way through the school near the end of the game and tried to talk to anyone and everyone I met. Since some of the characters move around and most of them you talk to while completing quests, I found it pointless to keep track of who I talked to when and where. Making my way through every room and farming coins while I talked to people netted me the achievement and coins in the process. Here is a character list:
- Abbey Bominable
- Bloodgood
- Bonita Femur
- Catrine DeMew
- Catty Noir
- Clawd Wolf
- Clawdeen Wolf

School Spirit

75
Collect all Dusty Pennants.
Little school pennant collectibles are littered throughout the school. They are in corners, on top of shelves and in lockers. They are pretty easy to spot and you shouldn't have trouble finding them. As I played, I only had trouble with two of them. There is a pennant by the gate to go home, opposite of the cemetery in the corner.

There is also a pennant in a locker and the can be found in the courtyard where the plant club was or giant plant. It is on ground level in one of the corners on the stone wall, it is hidden behind a bush.

Full Wardrobe

75
Obtain All Clothing Items.
This DOESN'T mean online through Xbox, nor does it mean you need Xbox Live. This simply means you bring up your phone in the game and order clothes via your character menu. Don't buy ANYTHING as you play the game, except for items that come on sale. You need to buy the entire wardrobe and this costs a fair bit of coin. Help alleviate the grind by hoarding coins and making use of the Daily sales for 50% off.

One you get all the other achievements, this one will unlock for the last and full 1000.
