Royale High is a school-themed roleplay/hangout and dress-up Roblox game owned by callmehbob callmehbob is a notable creator or influencer verified by Roblox Corporation. Learn more. (holder) and LauncelotHandsome.

It was originally titled Fairies and Mermaids Winx High School, and intended as a Winx Club fan roleplay game, up until November 2017, when the game was renamed and reworked to be more than a fan game.

Gameplay[]

Players are intended to dress up, roleplay or chat with other players, and complete various gameplay activities to level up and gain more diamonds to purchase new items. Players are given a teleportation staff to navigate the game, along with a phone to communicate with friends and keep track of timers.

Royale High's main in-game currency is Diamonds, which is earned through gameplay, or may also be purchased with Robux. There are sometimes limited currencies used in specific seasonal events.

Royale High is split into multiple realms that have different purposes. All of them can be used to chat with other players or roleplay, compete, and some have the sole intent of roleplaying.

To move, players can hold ⇧ Shift (PC) or toggle the sprint button to run faster. Double jumping will enable or disable flying in most realms. At the right side of the screen, a menu with buttons for the player's phone, customization (Dress Up), realm teleportation, diary, the in-game shop, animations, powers, and leaderboard can be accessed at any time. The menu also contains the player's current level and experience to their next level and the player's currency. The top side menu contains the Royale HIgh rules, an on/off toggle for music, a button for the announcements, a button to see one's quests, a button for their needs, and the game settings, a menu for hiding certain UI elements or adding filters for the ease of video creators or in-game photographers. Certain realms add additional buttons to the menu, and the menu can be hidden at any time.

Customization[]

Players can customize their character with being able to choose clothing, hair, faces, skirts, shoes, wings, and accessories to wear. While some of these are free at all times, many items are either obtained through limited-time events or must be purchased either with diamonds, candies, or Robux.

A large amount of the content in the customization menu, including 2D clothing, custom faces, hair textures, and item patterns (fabric designs), are contributed by players in the Royale High community through various submission opportunities and forms hosted by the developers on Twitter. The 2D clothing section also aims to directly support classic clothing designers on Roblox, allowing a direct way to purchase the original shirt and/or pants on the Roblox website.

While customizing, players can also opt to edit their Profile, also known as the Journal, where they can add certain text entries to answer questions or fill out prompts. With certain game passes, players can also recolor their journal or add stickers. Other players can view a player's journal by clicking on their character, which also includes certain interaction buttons.

Trading[]

Players that are level 75 or higher may access the Intergalactic Trading Hub realm to trade customization items and diamonds with other players. There are certain items that cannot be traded. There is a 40 item limit to how many items can be traded at once.

Realms[]

Realms are separate places in the overall Royale High game that players can teleport between for different gameplay activities or areas to roleplay.

Royale High's starter place varies and changes depending on the update. Sometimes the starter place is set to a certain realm if there is a seasonal event or update in the realm. Otherwise, it is typically set to the Arrival Screen, a screen for the game set in the Castle's Heart. This screen gives players access to the phone menu, a to-dos list, a list for their needs, a list for their dailies, an announcements page, and the story mode chapters.

There are four school-based realms, where players can complete classes and activities for diamond and experience rewards and participate in scheduled school days;

  • Campus 4 - the latest campus using a combination of all previous campuses with classes, lockers, and dorms all being in the same realm like campus 1 and 2 while having similar architecture and mechanics to campus 3. This is the largest campus out of the 5 consisting of locations like a beach, drive-in theater, and a graveyard.
  • Campus 3 - a campus with updated classes, dorms, lockers, and other activities. It is very large and has over ten sub-realms attached to it.
  • Campus 2 - an updated version of Campus 1 with a different map but many of the same classes and activities.
  • Campus 1 - the oldest school with slightly different classes, intended for players with lower-end devices.
  • Enchantix High (removed) - the latest version of Royale High as it was under Fairies and Mermaids Winx High School, with a heavy focus on Winx Club themed classes, dorms, and activities. It was removed at the release of Campus 3 due to copyright issues with Winx Club.

Certain realms house time-gated interactives for players, but otherwise are meant for roleplaying;

  • Luxury High-Rise Apartments - a roleplaying realm with interactive objects and party hosting, where each player gets their own apartment instance. Players can sit down at their computer for a daily log-in bonus of diamonds with increased diamonds for log-in streaks, or sleep in bed to regain their energy and gain XP.
  • Earth - the "human realm" with the Town wheel that can be spun daily for prizes. It is also the only way to access the Moonlight Square realm. The Designer Boutique, a teleportation hub to partnered clothing stores to support classic clothing designers, is also located here.
  • Divinia Park - a large park area with interactive elements, often used for events. Players can make a wish upon the Fountain of Dreams for every 2 hours for rewards such as diamonds, experience, or the extremely rare halo accessories.

Other realms have additional gameplay elements;

  • Sunset Island - a tropical island with numerous roleplay elements, free accessory chests, and a fashion pageant event. Players cannot fly in this realm.
  • Battle a la Royale - a PvP minigame to gain experience, where 2 teams shoot other players with arrows to incapacitate them.
  • Moonlight Square - a city realm only accessible through Earth, with elements to interactively browse randomized clothing stores to encourage purchasing clothing to wear around Roblox and support Roblox clothing designers.
  • Intergalactic Trading Hub - a realm only accessible to players level 75 or higher, being the only realm that players are able to trade with other players. Players cannot fly in this realm.
  • Diamond Beach - An additional realm added in July 2021 where players can roleplay, do quests for items that are not on sale in the shop, find accessory chests, and buy ROBLOX catalog clothing by entering some certain shops around the map. There is also a teleport that goes to another game named "Monstercat's Lost Civilization" and if players completed the quest in that game they would receive a Royale High accessory alongside a ROBLOX Avatar accessory.

Other realms only exist for roleplay or interacting with other players;

  • Beach House - a beach-side mansion with additional provided tools such as tents, beach chairs, pool toys, and various areas to prepare food and drink items.
  • Fantasia Getaway Resort (removed) - a hotel with assignable rooms to players and certain additional items for roleplay. Players cannot fly in this realm. It was removed at the release of Campus 3 due to being made of mostly Roblox catalogue items.

There is also an additional realm, In Loving Memory of Lizzy Winkle, which is in a separate experience from Royale High. The realm is meant as a tribute to Lizzy_Winkle, a member of Royale High's fan community with multiple wings & items added in-game, who passed away on November 29, 2019. It can be accessed in the "Earth" realm in Royale High by interacting with the memorial tree, though the player will only be able to join if they had played Royale High prior to the realm being created.

Royale High also once had an older realm named Diamond Beach, a name applying to various instances of a realm of a private beach cove that was used for testing or as a lobby. There was also the Divinia realm, a small island where the Fountain and the Designer Boutique were originally located, introduced on February 1, 2019, and interchanged with Earth as the lobby until it has since been fully inaccessible since August 31, 2019. A new realm introduced on July 4, 2021, was named "Diamond Beach" but has been completely reworked compared to the original Diamond Beach.

Some additional realms are made available or replace other realms during events.

Roblox events[]

Royale High was featured in the Egg Hunt 2020: Agents of Egg event, which rewarded the Eggchanted egg for completing the quest inside Battle a la Royale. Royale High was included in The Hunt: First Edition.

Incidents[]

Hijacking[]

On May 15, 2021, while callmehbob and LauncelotHandsome were on vacation, callmehbob's account was hijacked, presumably by sim swapping. During this time, Royale High's main place map (Divinia Park at the time) was maliciously updated to ignore all game scripts, and instead teleported players to a Among Us-themed tycoon game. The game was later deleted, and therefore the teleport failed, leaving players on an out-of-bounds spawn until the game was later reverted by Roblox. callmehbob's account was semi-restored at the aftermath of the Incident until she gets logged into her account.

Royale High developer calinpj04 informed players on Twitter that their data was externally saved and would be reverted. (Tweet removed)[1]

Controversies[]

Stolen assets and copyright infringement[]

For a long time, Royale High has used a number of stolen and copyrighted items. Royale High was originally a Winx Club fan game, and its original school realm, Enchantix High, was directly inspired by Winx Club and used Winx Club assets. However, it has taken steps in recent years to remove direct monetized items related to or directly using items from Winx Club, including gameplay elements and wing designs. In December 2019 and January 2020, Royale High developer KateKa22 hosted the "Elements Wings Contest" to gather new element designs for wings to replace Royale High's massive amount of copyrighted and stolen wing designs in its shop, including designs taken or ripped from Winx Club and Perfect World. Over 70 new designs from 60 different artists replaced the old designs. The Enchantix High realm, including all its Winx Club assets, remained available in game until August 2023.

Music tracks used in earlier years of Royale High were taken from other video games, including music from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Final Fantasy XIV, and Super Mario Galaxy.[2] Additionally, a composition by composer Seycara had been used as Royale High's main theme without permission or royalties for years, causing them to issue a copyright claim to Royale High via their publishing company in June 2021, likely related to the UMG lawsuit against Roblox from the same timeframe.[3]

The 3D models for the majority of hairstyles added prior to 2018 were majority ripped from The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 (or mods/"custom content" for these games); these were completely removed in August 2023. Some accessories appear to be ripped from various free accessory and part packs made for MikuMikuDance (MMD) character models, which in turn are often stolen from other games and projects. Multiple meshes still used in-game (as of April 2025), including those which must be purchased or can otherwise be obtained from other players, are unoriginal and used without permission. Some skirt meshes appear to be sourced from a MMD skirt model pack distributed on Deviantart, which in turn sources from a NSFW video game.[4][5] The "Crowned Royalty" accessory is taken from an MMD asset pack Natsuka (なつか), hosted on the Japanese downloading website Bowlroll.[6]

In the cases of unoriginal 3D meshes, these uploads are rarely made by Royale High developers themselves, instead appearing to be sourced from the toolbox. At the time of their addition, the toolbox had a number of stolen or ripped asset packs that were uploaded to Roblox when mesh uploading was first enabled, often under the false claim of having been made by the uploader and being free to use. It is likely the Royale High developers used these meshes believing that they were free-to-use assets. However, they have allegedly been informed on multiple occasions about these assets not being free for use, but have been stagnant in regards to the pace that these items are removed or replaced with original models.

Crowned Royalty program and Code of Conduct controversies[]

Royale High has numerous badges meant to be granted by notable figures in the Royale High community, which is named their "Crowned Royalty" program (previously referred to as "badge holders"), including popular artists, YouTubers, and other content creators. These most notably grant badges associated with these content creators, often referred to as "you met" badges, which can be granted by the player to nearby players when prompted. Due to various reasons with certain players associated with these badges, the game has had to disable or sometimes entirely remove badges for these players.

On August 7, 2022, LauncelotHandsome announced a "Royale High Code of Conduct" on Twitter.[7] The stated intent of the document was to standardize and enforce appropriate behavior in Royale High's community on platforms such as Twitter, and that certain behavior could result in bans from Royale High if there was a known associated Roblox account with people on social media that Royale High staff believed was breaking their code of conduct. Notably, the Code of Conduct discouraged public callouts in any relation to Royale High.

Shortly afterwards, individuals who had spoken up against Launce and other developers' past actions and behavior, particularly the community members who had began the #ownupbarbie tag, found themselves blocked by Royale High's official Twitter account @RoyaleHighValks for supposedly having violated the Code of Conduct. A number of these users were badge holders, who also had their associated badges removed from the game. This resulted in the community inquiring into details into why they were blocked. Bigoted posts were allegedly found from LauncelotHandsome, which were addressed by some of the community.[8] These incidents prompted a public response from the official Twitter account, apologizing for the past actions of some developers.[9] This reply was criticized for solely promoting the idea of moving past these prior issues, instead of addressing them and taking accountability.

On September 28, 2022, some community members discussed if the Code of Conduct was actually able to be enforced against community members. AltinaXIV, a contracted programmer for Royale High, replied with vulgar language to a tweet on the topic by former Royale High content creator Umoyae. Additional replies from AltinaXIV towards critics of the Code of Conduct contained numerous instances of vulgar language and personal attacks towards numerous different community members for multiple days.[10] This resulted in the community asking for AltinaXIV to have the Code of Conduct enforced upon them, as they worked for Royale High. No Royale High staff member seemed to publicly respond to this, and it is currently unknown if AltinaXIV still works for Royale High, as they have made no additional posts on Twitter since January 2023.

Around January 9, 2023, Royale High deactivated numerous influencer badges without informing or contacting any of the content creators the badges were for. Many of these creators only learned about their badges being removed through other players mentioning the badges were no longer active. The official reason for these removals was due to the influencers affected being inactive or no longer making content related to Royale High, though this was never addressed directly to the affected content creators.[11]

On February 12, 2024, Royale High removed the Crowned Royalty status and badges of content creators NotLukash and callmehhaleyx. On Twitter and through a YouTube video, callmehhaley shared various Discord conversations she had with Royale High's social media team and Launcelot, where she was informed that, due to that "what [she] say[s] or share[s] doesn't align with [Royale High]'s with what [Royale High] hopes for from members of [the Crowned Royalty program]".[12][13] From Launcelot, he purportedly stated that "in summary, you didn't realize that you need to bring things directly to the social media team not a post on Twitter/X that are concerns about royal high[sic] or the updates... If you're going to make any public statement, denouncing something that royale high has done or criticizing it as a bad choice and want to be publicly endorsed by us through a badge and in game shout out. You must reach out to the social media team for comment/clarification directly through a dm on discord." Callmehhaley initially summarized this as that "they're removing my badge for not agreeing with them", followed by "to the people who applied for a badge, just a warning you can't be honest".[12] Another tweet from callmehhaley indicated that, in the past, someone from the Royale High team had contacted her to let her know she was following someone on Twitter that they "didn't agree or align with".[14] In NotLukash's video, he discusses that he was informed that the Royale High team did not agree with some of his recent videos that were giving constructive criticism on recent updates and offering feedback, along with that he had used swear words in a tweet.[15]

Crown Academy lawsuit and community conflict[]

Ice7 shared on Twitter on July 21, 2020, that he had filed a lawsuit towards Star Status two weeks prior on the basing claim that their upcoming game, Crown Academy, had supposedly used stolen Royale High code and assets in its production from a previous Royale High developer that was purportedly now working for Star Status.[16] In his post, he provided links to legal documents that included screenshots of alleged reused code, assets, and text from Royale High.[17] Star Status later filed a counter-suit against Ice7, confirmed by PixelatedCandy PixelatedCandy is a notable creator or influencer verified by Roblox Corporation. Learn more., the owner of Star Status.[18]

Although the screenshots were not confirmed to be real, their release triggered a very volatile response from the Royale High community. Upon the opening of Crown Academy's public access beta, it looked different from the screenshots presented on the legal document and did not contain any visibly stolen assets. However, some Royale High fans still believed the game was stealing, and demanded certain items such as select skirts and shoes were removed or changed. Despite that these assets were not actually stolen from Royale High, nor their concepts created by Royale High originally (though some being somewhat visually similar due to the same references being used), some of these items were reworked and updated after the release of the public access beta.

As determined and filed on April 6, 2022, the prior mentioned lawsuit came to some result. The court determined that Crown Academy did not use any Royale High assets or code, nor did they instruct any code or assets to be stolen, therefore waiving them of the copyright claim.[19][20] However, Ice7 states he still has existing claims in relation to the case on April 14, 2022, and that PixelatedCandy lost the opposing case against Ice7 for defamation, though documents relating to this have not been publicized, unlike the verdict on the plaintiffs' claims.[21]

Crown Academy temporarily filtered various forms and abbreviations of "Royale High" from its in-game chat for a few weeks after its public beta release on August 21, 2020, to limit its players being harassed, as certain players were joining only to attack other players for playing a "copy" of Royale High. Many Royale High players also joined Crown Academy simply to be able to leave a dislike on the experience, which resulted in a low approval rating on Crown Academy, usually ranging between 60% to 70%, still persisting years after its release.

In February 2021, CHROMASTASIA (QueenChroma), an artist that had been independently contracted by one of Royale High's 3D modelers to conceptualize the "Winter Guardian" item set for Royale High, had brought up that Crown Academy had released an item called the "Winter Guardian Cape" / "Blizzard Guardian Cape" around the same time that Royale High had released their Winter Guardian set. This was discussed personally with the Crown Academy developers and the name of Crown Academy's item was changed to the "Everwinter Cape", though the initial similar naming appears to have been a coincidence.[22][23]

Lunar New Year inaccuracies[]

During Royale High's Valentines 2021 event in Divinia Park (started on February 12, 2021), the game also included a section of the park dedicated to celebrating the Lunar New Year due to its date (February 12) falling near Valentine's Day in 2021, called the Lunar New Year Celebration Area. The area was reportedly intended to represent multiple cultures that celebrated (or were presumed to celebrate) Lunar New Year. However, most of the theming and designs reflected culture of Japan, which does not directly celebrate Lunar New Year; the buildings were designed based on Japanese shrines, and most food stalls focused on Japanese dishes such as taiyaki ice cream and ramen. Bubble tea was also included, despite its lack of relation to Chinese New Year. This displeased players from cultures that traditionally celebrate Lunar New Year, who made posts on Twitter that were shared in the Royale High community explaining some issues with the event. Royale High developers had reportedly contacted someone to inquire on accurate practices, but some errors occurred in the communication.[24]

The development team working on the Lunar New Year portion of the event inquired for improvement suggestions[25] and overhauled the Lunar New Year Celebration Area to be more accurate and respectful; however, the lead developers never implemented these changes before the event ended. This revision was included in the 2022 re-release of the event, with additional advisory from players in the community being added, but due to other incidents with the handling of the Valentines event that year, the Lunar New Year segment of the event (alongside the Black History Month segment, which was also held simultaneously), has not been present since 2023 onward. Starting in 2024, the event is now branded as the "Everfriend Season" and focuses on Valentines' theming only.

Royale High Toy Controversy[]

The Royale High toy controversy erupted when players discovered that exclusive in-game items could only be obtained by purchasing physical toys. This move was seen as a blatant cash grab, forcing players to spend real money on toys to access special codes for virtual items. Many players, especially those who couldn’t afford the toys, felt excluded and voiced their frustration on social media platforms. The backlash was intense, with accusations that the game developers were prioritizing profit over the inclusive and accessible nature of the game.

Adding fuel to the fire, Royale High’s partnership with a company perceived as having Zionist affiliations sparked further outrage. Critics argued that the collaboration was politically insensitive and alienated a portion of the player base. This controversy highlighted broader issues within the gaming community about ethical partnerships and the impact of real-world politics on virtual spaces. The developers faced significant pressure to address these concerns, leading to a heated debate about the future direction of Royale High and its commitment to its community.

Merchandise[]

Roblox Toys[]

The game has 8 associated Roblox Toys with it.

The first two toys, "Enchantress" and "callmehbob" also reward items inside Royale High. This is checked with if the player owns their associated reward accessories, Enchantress Tress or Callmehostentatiouslyslyempressed respectively, and joins Royale High. Owning the "Enchantress Tress" Roblox accessory rewards the badge "☪ The Enchantress ☪", the "Mood Changing Necklace" in-game accessory, and 2500 diamonds in-game. Owning the "Callmehostentatiouslyslyempressed" Roblox accessory rewards the badge "You found callmehbob!", the "callmehbob Diamond Ring" in-game accessory, and 3000 diamonds in-game.

Jazwares partnership[]

On September 20 2023, Jazwares announced a partnership with Royale High for a fashion doll toy line, along with various other types of products including apparel and home decor.[26]

Around November 2023, this partnership was criticized by the Royale High community in response to Jazwares making statements in support of and donating towards Israel organizations supporting the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[27]
