Play The Barbie Diaries - High School Mystery (E)(Sir VG) Online

Okay, so The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery is way more fun than I expected. You start off picking Barbie’s outfit—which, let’s be real, is half the appeal—but then suddenly there’s this whole mystery about missing school supplies and suspicious classmates. Between algebra pop quizzes and lunchroom gossip, you’re sneaking around collecting clues like some kind of sparkly detective.

The mini-games are surprisingly decent—there’s one where you have to match lipstick shades to prove someone’s lying, and another where you rearrange locker notes to find hidden messages. It’s got that early 2000s GBA charm, all pixelated but still weirdly stylish. And yeah, it’s totally Nancy Drew if Nancy carried a designer backpack and had a clique of drama-prone friends.

Honestly, I played it ironically at first, but the mystery actually hooks you. Just don’t expect anything too deep—it’s basically a bubblegum crime story with a side of fashion.
