About this game

Get ready, honey! You're a contestant on Drag Star!, the reality TV drag competition. You better throw shade, serve looks, and slay each episode to become the next drag icon!

"Drag Star!" is a 150,000-word interactive novel by Evan J. Peterson, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination (and sass).

As a contestant on the newest season of Drag Star! You’ll prove your skills on the S.H.A.D.E. scale: Smarts, Humor, Artistry, Daring, and Enchantment. Through celebrity impersonation, singing, dancing, costuming, and comedy, you’ll need to be sickening in every stunt to win it all. But how will you steal the show?

Enter the Twerkshop with your own catchphrase, meet your new drag family, and try to maintain self-care and integrity while still playing to win. How will you balance competing and bonding with castmates like Lady Kali, Scandal Dupree, and Dorian Slay? Oh, but there’s more. Not everyone is playing by the same rules—there’s a saboteur on the cast, waiting for the right opportunities to cause even more drama.

Will you emerge as a finalist and grab the crown? Will you own the catwalk and the title of Fan Favorite? Will your wig stay on while you whip it back and forth? And will you be able to save the show from a devilish saboteur?

• Play as a drag queen, a drag king, or a nonbinary or genderfluid performer.
• Throw shade, turn looks on the catwalk, dance the house down, and write original jokes and song lyrics.
• Compete against a diverse cast of fierce drag performers—or are you here to make friends?
• Specialize your style: villainous or sweet, campy or elegant, classic or avant garde
• Build your drag family: win episodes together, be a mentor, stoke or resolve rivalries.
• Solve the mystery of the sabotage—or ignore that drama entirely.
• Win Fan Favorite or Most Congenial.
• Join the Abbey of the Perpetually Fabulous, a new drag religion.
• Maintain your self-care or push yourself and take risks for more fan attention.
• Make it as a finalist in Season Eight of Drag Star! and win the crown.

Don’t be a filler contestant—slay your way to legendary status!

Ratings and reviews

I used to read those "Choose Your Adventure" books when I was a kid and this game mixed my favorite television show and that childhood nostalgia into a delightful distraction. Just choose carefully - I have yet to find a "Back" button! I've played it through as myself but am already planning at least two more tries to get different endings. I recommend it highly for fans of drag and Drag Race and even for fans of choose your adventure stories!

Outstanding game. I actually purchased this. Excellent replayability. Started out introducing many characters and concepts but once I got familiar with the world I fell in love. I never thought of drag as being so potentially creative and artistic. The ending tied up every loose end and was perfect. You could be a a drag king or a drag queen. The characters and the plot were incredibly well thought out. This is a work of art. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.

I love this type of narrative game, but not usually in a modern setting. But I do follow the drag scene and this came on my radar. It is so refreshing, every time, to read an interactive novel by someone that really knows how to WRITE. Seriously, I looked them up and I'm impressed that such a writer also can program decent game stats. I'm convinced they have an inside view of reality competition, and might be my neighbor. This is just might be fiction closer to acctuality than the real thing.

Fixed a bug (for real, this time) where the app could lose progress when the app goes into the background. If you enjoy "Drag Star!", please leave us a written review. It really helps!
