    What Your Fave ‘Date Everything’ Man Says About You

    An extremely scientific investigation of your taste in video game furniture.

    You’ve dated twinks, you’ve dated otters, you’ve dated bears, but have you ever dated a couch? Date Everything asks the eternal question: what if the objects in your house were hot, emotionally complex, and down to vibe? Finally, you no longer have to feel shame for your emotional attachment to a refrigerator. Shout it from the rooftops, people—you’re in love with a curtain rod and you don’t care who knows it!

    What Is Date Everything?

    If you’re new here: Date Everything is a surreal dating sim where you romance the personified versions of household objects—think: couches, toilets, doors, and mirrors, all with fully voiced dialogue and surprisingly complex emotional arcs. Yes, it’s deeply weird. At this point, I need this level of departure from reality to effectively dissociate, okay?

    The characters are funny, flirtatious, and packed with more red flags than your last group chat. Whether you’re into strong, silent types or chaotic charmers, there’s someone (or something?) for everyone. So in the spirit of introspection (and public shaming), we’ve compiled this definitive list of what your favorite Date Everything man says about you.

    Spoiler: it’s not flattering.

    What Your Favorite Man in Date Everything Says About You

    Abel

    You’re a sucker for the emotionally constipated. You want a loyal man who smells like sawdust and repressed feelings. A man who’ll fix your wobbly chair but not talk about his trauma until year three. You fantasize about slow-dancing in a quiet kitchen, maybe while healing his wooden heart with homemade pie.

    • Sign: Taurus
    • Favorite Food: Biscuits and gravy
    • Hobby: Several, but none you stick with
    • Green Flag: Always ready for a cozy night in
    • Red Flag: Chronic red-flag-blindness
    Amir from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Amir from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Amir

    You want to be courted. You’re drawn to big feelings, poetic texts, and men who’ll “read your aura” on the second date. You’ve definitely trauma-bonded with someone in a bathroom. People think you have main character syndrome—and you do—but it’s not your fault that you’re a deeply interesting person.

    • Sign: Libra
    • Favorite Food: Grapes, fed to you by hand
    • Hobby: Crying to voice memos you sent yourself
    • Green Flag: Deep believer in words of affirmation
    • Red Flag: Low-key delulu
    Barry from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Barry from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Barry

    You don’t need attention from everyone, just from the people who matter most. You’re drawn to charmers who talk a mile a minute, have five side quests at once, and still remember to tell you you’re beautiful. You want a partner who turns heads but only has eyes for you. Bonus points if they smell like a Sephora.

    • Sign: Virgo
    • Favorite Food: Something you split with someone
    • Hobby: Reorganizing everything you own
    • Green Flag: Shows up without keeping score
    • Red Flag: Currently rethinking everything you’ve ever text

    Cabrizzio from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Cabrizzio

    You say you’re looking for something real, but who are you kidding? You want someone hot, charming, and just mysterious enough to project your entire romantic fantasy onto. You love a smooth talker who knows wine pairings and how to make you feel like the most interesting person in the room. Oh, and they should be a good person too, I guess.

    • Sign: Sagittarius
    • Favorite Food: Pasta made with way too much butter
    • Hobby: Romanticizing your own life in 4K
    • Green Flag: Being around you is free entertainment
    • Red Flag: Has never sat still
    Cam from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Cam from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Cam

    You fall for men who are prickly, scruffy, and emotionally under construction. Cam’s not warm, not charming, not even trying to impress you, and somehow those are all pluses to you? You think being chosen by someone who trusts no one is the highest romantic honor. You’re either the softest soul alive or fully in your self-sabotage era. Sidenote: Are you okay?

    • Sign: Scorpio
    • Favorite Food: Big leftover eater
    • Hobby: Projecting onto emotionally unavailable people
    • Green Flag: Funny, because trauma
    • Red Flag: Gets jealous, stays jealous
    Chance from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Chance from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Chance

    You want someone who plans dates like side quests and kisses like it’s a critical hit. You’re drawn to the kind of chaos that kicks the door in first and rolls initiative later. You don’t mind a little awkwardness, as long as they light up when they talk about their latest hyperfixation. You’re not just looking for love. You’re looking for a companion.

    • Sign: Gemini
    • Favorite Food: Trail mix (but it’s mostly M&Ms)
    • Hobby: Your 10-year-old DnD campaign
    • Green Flag: Down for literally anything
    • Red Flag: Starts fights over niche lore and wins
    Curt and Rod from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Curt and Rod from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Curt & Rod

    Why date one person when you could date two who already have amazing taste and impeccable banter? You want to be adored, entertained, and occasionally dragged in matching outfits. You live for drama, chaos, and being at the center of the best tea in the neighborhood. If love isn’t a three-person production with outfit changes and whispered insults, what’s the point?

    • Sign: Leo
    • Favorite Food: A martini you didn’t pay for
    • Hobby: Eavesdropping, but make it fashion
    • Green Flag: Keeps receipts
    • Red Flag: Reads them out loud
    Daisuke from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Daisuke from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Daisuke

    You don’t need chatter. You need competence, calm, and someone who can stack emotions as neatly as they stack plates. You fall for the serious ones—the ones who won’t open up to just anyone, and definitely not right away. You say you’re low-maintenance, but what you really are is patient.

    • Sign: Capricorn
    • Favorite Food: Black coffee “with no sugar,” you exclaim
    • Hobby: Telling people about Kintsugi
    • Green Flag: Deeply curious
    • Red Flag: “Um, actually…”
    Dorian from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Dorian from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Dorian

    You fall for the strong, silent type. The one who never opens up, never makes the first move, and somehow still has you thinking, “He’s just scared to love.” You say you’re emotionally mature, but you’re really just deeply committed to unlocking his tragic backstory. The suit? Immaculate. The build? Unholy. The emotional repression? A project.

    • Sign: Cancer
    • Favorite Food: Something you cooked and he complimented once
    • Hobby: Holding a cup of tea for emotional support
    • Green Flag: Honestly? You might actually fix him
    • Red Flag: Thinks no texts for two hours is “giving him space”
    Jean Loo Pissoir from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Jean Loo Pissoir from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Jean Loo Pissoir

    You’re not intimidated by confidence. You’re turned on by it. Jean Loo is loud, rhyming, vaguely damp, and literally a toilet, but that just makes you want him more. You’re pathologically drawn to the one person no one else would ever date. Not because you’re desperate, but because you’re different. You don’t fall in love. It’s all for the bit, right? Right!?

    • Sign: Aquarius
    • Favorite Food: Sushi in bed, like a weirdo
    • Hobby: Weaponizing irony
    • Green Flag: Unshakable confidence
    • Red Flag: So, um, you’re definitely dating a toilet!
    Koa from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Koa from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Koa

    You’re soft. Too soft. A human onesie, even. You fall for gentle giants with extra cushion for pushin. Love to you is being swaddled in a warm blanket after crying in the bath, listening to Enya, and that’s valid! You think silence is romantic and physical touch is a personality trait.

    • Sign: Pisces
    • Favorite Food: Chips and too much dip
    • Hobby: Projecting your feelings onto inanimate objects
    • Green Flag: Deeply intuitive, genuinely caring
    • Red Flag: Will trauma-bond with a couch
    Teddy from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games
    Teddy from Date Everyting via Sassy Chap Games

    Teddy

    You burn bright, move fast, and fall hard. That’s why you need someone soft to land on. You’re drawn to quiet strength, calm voices, and bear-shaped men who radiate dad energy. Teddy doesn’t just hug, he heals. You say you want emotional growth, but what you really want someone to listen to your chaos, validate your pain, and hand you a warm beverage before you finish ranting. Is that so much to ask?

    • Sign: Aries
    • Favorite Food: Melted cheese in all its forms
    • Hobby: Talking at all possible times
    • Green Flag: Down for literally anything
    • Red Flag: Desperately needs fixing

  • What Your Queer-Coded Nintendo Character Says About You (Part 2)

    What Your Queer-Coded Nintendo Character Says About You (Part 2)

    Let’s be real: most Nintendo characters are camp. Between the eyeliner, melodrama, power stances, and wardrobe choices, the Big N is basically serving Drag Race: Mushroom Kingdom. But what if we told you your favorite queer-coded character says a lot about you?

    Whether you’re a Luigi loyalist, a Toadette apologist, or a King Boo girlie with commitment issues, we’ve got your spiritual diagnosis.

    Let’s dive in, shall we?

    Princess Zelda

    Mystical Femme With a Degree in Emotional Distance
    Princess Zelda is the friend who always looks flawless but is secretly dealing with five ancient curses, two exes, and a prophecy. She’s a regal intellectual who can recite ancient texts and ghost you in perfect grammar. Zelda has big “healer girl with intimacy issues” energy, wise beyond her years, emotionally layered, and never without a cloak or a dramatic backlight. If she’s your favorite, you’re drawn to elegance, mystery, and the type of woman who would absolutely destroy you in a debate and still make you want to write poetry about her.

    • Zodiac Signs: Virgo sun, Pisces moon

    • Favorite Food: Lavender tea and a gluten-free almond tart

    • Hobby: Tarot readings, ancient scroll translation, and setting boundaries via scroll

    • Green Flag: Emotionally intelligent, loyal, and knows what everyone needs before they ask

    • Red Flag: Believes “destiny” is a valid excuse for leaving you on read for six weeks

    Rosalina

    Lipstick Lesbian in a Spaceship
    Rosalina is the intergalactic femme fatale of your dreams. She left the galaxy because no one on Earth was giving her the respect, or the orgasms, she deserved. She’s poised, mysterious, and never texts first because she’s literally in another dimension.

    • Zodiac Signs: Libra sun, Scorpio moon

    • Favorite Food: Champagne truffles (ideally gifted by a nervous girl in a sundress)

    • Hobby: Floating through space while listening to Phoebe Bridgers remixes

    • Green Flag: Knows your love language without asking

    • Red Flag: Still emotionally hung up on a space princess from 200 years ago

    Luigi

    Bisexual Soft Boy With a Ghost Problem and a Gold Heart
    Luigi is the anxious bisexual prince of your heart. Always second to the spotlight, but first to hold your bag, Luigi is gentle, loyal, and just nervous enough to be endearing. He apologizes when you bump into him, cries at Pixar movies, and has exactly one denim jacket that he wears to every queer event. He’s emotionally in tune, just not with his own feelings. If he’s your favorite, you’re either a hopeless romantic, a sucker for underdogs, or you’ve dated someone who claimed they were “just figuring things out.”

    • Zodiac Signs: Cancer sun, Libra rising

    • Favorite Food: Pesto pasta and whatever you’re eating off your plate

    • Hobby: Ghost hunting, overthinking, and leaving voice memos at 2 a.m.

    • Green Flag: Deeply empathetic, remembers small details, and lets you cry during movies

    • Red Flag: Will emotionally spiral over a text with no punctuation

    Toad

    Chaos in a Crop Top
    Toad is that friend who shows up late, loud, and dressed like he’s about to get kicked out of a gay bar for crowd-surfing during a Carly Rae Jepsen deep cut. He’s the life of the party and the reason it got shut down. Toad has never whispered a day in his life. If you’ve ever gone on a spontaneous trip, gotten a questionable piercing, or flirted with three people in one hour, Toad was probably involved.

    • Zodiac Signs: Aries sun, Gemini moon

    • Favorite Food: Spiked iced matcha

    • Hobby: Starting drama and then immediately exiting the group chat

    • Green Flag: Will hype you up no matter what

    • Red Flag: Will also expose your secrets for fun

    Toadette

    Activist Lesbian With a Megaphone and a Mission
    Toadette organizes mutual aid drives and drag brunch in the same afternoon. She has pronoun pins in every color, knows three types of composting, and once made a cop cry with a single tweet. She’s got a carabiner full of keys, stickers, and a laminated schedule. If she’s your fave, you either love her… or you are her.

    • Zodiac Signs: Capricorn sun, Aries moon

    • Favorite Food: Fair trade iced oat latte and a protest sandwich wrapped in wax paper

    • Hobby: Volunteering, tabling events, and yelling at your landlord on your behalf

    • Green Flag: Passionate, principled, and will help you build your bookshelf and your political consciousness

    • Red Flag: Corrects your grammar and your politics in bed

    King Boo

    Villainous, Vengeful, and the Drama You Secretly Crave
    King Boo isn’t just a ghost, he’s the phantom of your failed situationship. He’s the one who said “we’re just vibing” while holding your hand under the table. He lives for theatrics, disappears at random, and always reappears just when you’re finally healing. He doesn’t haunt houses, he haunts people. And if he’s your favorite? Baby, you love a red flag with good lighting.

    • Zodiac Signs: Scorpio sun, Gemini rising

    • Favorite Food: Dark chocolate and stolen joy

    • Hobby: Casually destroying group dynamics with a single cryptic comment

    • Green Flag: Charismatic, mysterious, and throws unforgettable Halloween parties

    • Red Flag: Gaslights you and your therapist

    Bowser

    Gay Bear With a Soft Belly and a Big Roar
    Bowser isn’t your enemy, he’s your ex’s new boyfriend who insists on being friends with you now. He’s the undisputed king of Bear Week, wears leather year-round, and bakes sourdough when he’s not trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Beneath the spikes and growls? A sensitive guy who just wants cuddles and control (but mostly cuddles).

    • Zodiac Signs: Taurus sun, Leo moon

    • Favorite Food: Brisket, craft beer, and your leftovers

    • Hobby: Powerlifting and hosting game night (he brings a cheese board)

    • Green Flag: Loyal, protective, and gives the best hugs

    • Red Flag: Gets weirdly jealous of Mario even though he swears he’s “over it”

    That’s the End of This Rainbow

    Whether you’re channeling Toadette’s clipboard-wielding chaos, Rosalina’s cosmic femme energy, or Bowser’s bear-coded dominance, one thing’s clear: these Nintendo icons aren’t just characters, they’re queer archetypes.

    So next time someone asks why you relate so hard to an intergalactic space mom or a bisexual ghost hunter, just shrug and say: It’s gay lore, babe.

  • Kirby, Birdo, and the Gaggle of Queer-Coded Nintendo Icons You Can’t Ignore

    Kirby, Birdo, and the Gaggle of Queer-Coded Nintendo Icons You Can’t Ignore

    Break out the glitter and pre-order panic: the Nintendo Switch 2 has officially landed, and the fanfare is as dramatic as a Peach side-eye. Across Japan and beyond, gamers camped out, cried, and clawed their way through online lotteries just to grab Nintendo’s latest console-slash-culture-reset. With a bigger screen, better graphics, and new launch titles like Mario Kart World, it’s clear the Switch 2 didn’t come to play, it came to slay.

    Nintendo reportedly received 2.2 million entries for its Japan sales lottery alone. Meanwhile, Target pre-orders sold out faster than you can say “Waluigi is a power bottom.” Some fans, like Yumi Ohi, traveled cross-prefecture just to snag one. Girl, we get it. It’s a major upgrade, and with Elden Ring and more AAA titles on the way, it’s giving “gaming era, activated.”

    But let’s be honest, what really makes Nintendo games iconic isn’t just the tech. It’s the camp. It’s the drama. It’s the characters who have been throwing subtle queer-coded energy at us for decades. So, in honor of the Switch 2 drop, we’re celebrating the Nintendo characters who’ve always been just a little too fabulous to be straight.

    Princess Peach: High Femme Drama Royalty

    The pillow princess herself! THE Princess Peach. The original high-heel-wearing campy hostage, Princess Peach isn’t just royalty, she’s the type of girl who gets kidnapped just to see if anyone’s paying attention. Sure, she’s canonically Mario’s girlfriend, but have you seen her serve pink realness in literally every outfit? And don’t forget Super Princess Peach, where her powers are literally mood swings. If that’s not gay culture, what is?

    Kirby: Suckin’, Servin’, and Shapeshifting

    Kirby is the pastel puffball of our dreams. He flies, he transforms, he swallows enemies whole and becomes them. Gender? Identity? He’s fluid, honey. Kirby doesn’t walk, he floats. I mean, it doesn’t get gayer than that! He doesn’t fight, he sucks and swallows. I mean… you do the math. Honestly, he’s the ultimate queer icon. Also, he’s pink, round, and always happy. That’s camp, baby.

    Kirby

    Birdo: Our Trans Queen from Day One

    Let’s give a respectful golf clap to Super Mario Bros. 2 for dropping one of the most groundbreaking lines in 1980s video game history: “Birdo is a boy who thinks he’s a girl.” Birdo, also known as Birdetta, is a pink, bow-wearing, egg-shooting baddie who proudly lives her truth. While Nintendo’s been… vague… about her identity since, the community has spoken. Birdo is trans. Period. No notes.

    Princess Daisy: Lipstick Lesbian Energy, Activated

    If Peach is the high-femme icon, Daisy is the sports bra-wearing, energy drink-chugging counterpart. Always down for a little tennis, kart racing, or drama, Daisy’s a tomboy with a tiara and a whole lot of main character energy. She’s not like the other girls, she’s louder, bolder, and probably the reason your girlfriend keeps playing Mario Party.

    Princess Daisy

    Pauline: Mayoral Realness and Vocal Queen

    From Donkey Kong damsel to Odyssey-era mayor and jazz singer, Pauline pulled the ultimate glow-up. She’s got her own city now (New Donk, no less), a band, and the pipes to belt out “Jump Up, Super Star!” like a Broadway diva. She’s giving Patti LuPone meets city council chic. We stan a girlboss with vocals.

    Yoshi: Genderqueer Dino of Our Dreams

    Yoshi lays eggs. Yoshi swallows enemies with an impossible tongue. Yoshi’s species comes in every color of the rainbow. And while Nintendo technically uses he/him pronouns, let’s be real, Yoshi lives beyond the binary. Egg-laying, color-shifting, tongue-whipping royalty. We see you, queen!

    Yoshi
    Photo: Nintendo

    Waluigi: Tall, Twisted, and Totally Queer-Coded

    Waluigi is the chaotic queer uncle who shows up to the barbecue with glitter eyeliner, a bad attitude, and the audacity to make everything about him. He’s lanky, he’s petty, and he dances like he’s auditioning for So You Think You Can Flop. He may not have a game of his own, but that hasn’t stopped him from stealing hearts with his iconic side-splits and evil laugh.

    Waluigi

    Link: The Soft Andro Hero We Project Onto

    Link is the quiet, courageous legend who rarely speaks but always slays. Whether he’s crossdressing in Breath of the Wild to infiltrate Gerudo Town or rocking a ponytail with his latest tunic, Link’s androgynous aesthetic has always been queer-coded to filth. He’s not saving the princess, he’s serving looks while doing it.

    Long Live Nintendo’s Queer-Coded Icons

    As we celebrate the Switch 2’s arrival into our clammy gamer hands, let’s also honor the characters who helped raise us, confuse us, and low-key awaken something in us. Nintendo didn’t just build a gaming empire—it created a runway of queer-coded fabulousness. Whether intentional or accidental, we’ll take it. And we’ll slay with it.

  • ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Trailer Drops and the Internet Can’t Handle the Hot New Protagonist

    ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Trailer Drops and the Internet Can’t Handle the Hot New Protagonist

    Rockstar Games released a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, and while the video features high-stakes heists and stunning graphics, the internet has zeroed in on something else entirely: the game’s steamy new leading man.

    Fans have waited more than a decade for a glimpse of the next installment in the iconic open-world franchise, and the second official trailer did not disappoint. But what has social media in a frenzy isn’t just the return to Vice City or the promise of high-octane drama—it’s Jason Duval, the game’s chiseled, sweat-drenched protagonist.

    The clip opens with Jason climbing shirtless off a rooftop, his glistening six-pack front and center. It’s an entrance that has fueled a tidal wave of thirst online. “Jason from GTA 6 would fix me,” one fan joked on X, formerly Twitter. Another added, “I didn’t know I could fall in love with a polygon.”

    Jason is paired with co-protagonist Lucia Caminos, marking the first time a woman has held a fully developed lead role in a Grand Theft Auto title since the series began in 1997. While there have been playable female characters in earlier games, Lucia appears to be breaking new ground with her depth and prominence.

    According to the official synopsis, Jason and Lucia are partners in crime—and perhaps more. The trailer teases a high-stakes story where the duo finds themselves caught in a conspiracy after a heist gone wrong. Set in the sun-soaked and dangerous state of Leonida, a fictional take on Florida, GTA VI promises a gritty narrative about survival, loyalty, and trust.

    Still, plot details have taken a back seat to the online obsession with the game’s male lead. The LGBTQ+ community, in particular, has claimed Jason as their newest virtual crush, despite his seemingly straight relationship with Lucia in the game. And the bisexual crowd? Equally torn. “Lucia or Jason? Why not both?” one post read.

    The buzz also includes speculation about fan-made adult content that is sure to follow the game’s release. While the GTA franchise has been criticized for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation, the new leads have opened up conversation—and sparked plenty of daydreams.

    Grand Theft Auto VI is set for release on May 26, 2026.

    Until then, fans will be rewatching that trailer—on loop.

  • World of Wonder and The Op Games Announce Release of CLUE®: ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Edition

    World of Wonder and The Op Games Announce Release of CLUE®: ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Edition

    Global multi-platform media company World of Wonder, in collaboration with The Op Games, is bringing a fabulous new twist to the classic board game CLUE®. The newly released CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition, based on the Emmy Award-winning reality competition franchise, is now available for fans to enjoy.

    The game, which is licensed by Hasbro, combines the iconic mystery-solving mechanics of CLUE® with the glam and glitz of RuPaul’s Drag Race. In this dazzling version, players will work to uncover the mystery of a missing crown in the high-energy world of drag. As the queens compete for the ultimate title, one of them has made off with the coveted crown—and it’s up to players to figure out who did it, where they did it, and with what fabulous item they made their escape.

    Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race will instantly recognize key locations and items that have become staples of the series, making this new version of CLUE® a must-have for die-hard drag race enthusiasts. Players will explore locations like the main stage, the untucked lounge, and even the ladies’ room as they try to gather clues and interview the queens in their quest to solve the mystery.

    “CLUE® has been a beloved game for decades, and we’re thrilled to put our own fierce spin on it with RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said World of Wonder co-founder Randy Barbato. “This game offers fans a chance to engage with the world of drag in a whole new way, and we can’t wait for them to experience the fun and excitement of solving a glamorous mystery alongside their favorite queens.”

    New Characters and Items Bring Drag Race Magic to the Game

    In this fresh take on the classic game, CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race introduces six all-new characters, each embodying the sass, style, and personality fans expect from the world of drag. The new characters are: Madam Mustard, Pepper La Peacock, Crystal White, Sir Lady Scarlet, Marsha P. Plum, and Geraldine Green. Each queen brings her own flair and drama to the game, making for a lively and unpredictable experience.

    In addition to the new characters, the game features themed item tokens that reflect the world of drag. Players will collect unique tokens like a Wig, Corset, Platform Heels, Tucking Tape, Makeup Case, and Drag Fan. These items add an extra level of excitement and style as players piece together the mystery.

    “We’ve been working closely with World of Wonder to ensure that every detail of this game reflects the spirit of RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said The Op Games President, Craig Sief. “From the characters to the items, we’re excited to offer fans an immersive and fun game experience that channels all the campy glamor and drama of the show.”

    How to Play CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition

    Designed for two to six players, CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition offers an exciting gameplay experience for fans ages 14 and up. Just like the classic version of CLUE®, players must solve the mystery by figuring out three key components: Who took the crown, Where it was taken, and What dazzling item was used in the escape.

    Did Madam Mustard use a pair of platform heels to make her getaway, or could it have been Crystal White with her makeup case? Players will need to navigate through the werkroom, collect clues, and interrogate their fellow queens to get closer to solving the case. With unexpected twists and plenty of dramatic moments, CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition guarantees hours of entertainment and surprises.

    The game is now available for purchase on both The Op Games website and the World of Wonder online store. With a retail price of $44.99, it’s a fun and affordable way for fans to bring a little Drag Race flair into their next game night.

    A Successful Partnership Continues

    CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition marks the second collaboration between World of Wonder and The Op Games. Their first project together, MONOPOLY: RuPaul’s Drag Race, debuted in 2023 at RuPaul’s DragCon LA and was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. The success of these two games highlights the ongoing popularity of RuPaul’s Drag Race and its growing presence in the world of entertainment and pop culture.

    “With RuPaul’s Drag Race continuing to captivate audiences worldwide, we’re proud to bring these innovative, drag-inspired editions of classic games to fans,” said Barbato. “It’s thrilling to see how much joy these games are bringing to the Drag Race community.”

    Whether you’re a RuPaul’s Drag Race superfan or simply a lover of classic board games with a twist, CLUE®: RuPaul’s Drag Race Edition is a perfect way to add some glitter and glam to your next game night.

    What is the Lovestruck Expansion

    With the Lovestruck expansion, players can dive into the romance-themed city of Ciudad Enamorada, which features three vibrant neighborhoods: Vista Hermosa, Plaza Mariposa, and Nuevo Corazón. In these locales, Sims can become romance consultants, create dating profiles, and even date multiple people. It’s all about exploring love and relationships in a more open and inclusive way.

    Romantic Boundaries: Customize Your Love Life

    One of the standout features of the Lovestruck pack is the “Romantic Boundaries” patch. This update lets players control their Sims’ exclusivity settings, offering a more nuanced approach to romantic relationships. According to the official Sims 4 blog, “[The Romantic Boundaries system] will allow you to customize your Sim’s experience with boundaries and jealousy. You can now define how your Sims approach romantic relationships in terms of physical and emotional romantic exclusivity. This allows for Sims to date multiple Sims without impact to other relationships.”

    A Long-Awaited Feature

    Polyamory has been a highly-requested feature among Sims players for years. Some dedicated fans even created mods to allow for open relationship storylines. Now, the Sims team has finally answered those requests, making it easier than ever to create and manage polyamorous relationships within the game.

    A Commitment to Inclusivity

    Over the past few years, The Sims 4 has made significant strides toward inclusivity. In 2022, the game introduced nonbinary pronouns, and in 2023, it added trans-affirming medical wearables like binders, top surgery scars, and shapewear. These updates are small but crucial steps in making the game more inclusive for all players, especially queer gamers.

    Get Ready for a Messy Queer Polycule

    The Sims 4 continues to push the boundaries of virtual life simulation, and the Lovestruck expansion pack is a perfect example. Whether you’re planning a complex polycule or just want to explore new romantic possibilities, this update promises to bring a whole new level of depth and fun to the game. Mark your calendars for July 25 and get ready to dive into the drama of Ciudad Enamorada!
