QUICK START GUIDE

Welcome to Avatar High! You are now the owner of a virtual high school and eight unique virtual students. This Quick Start Guide should get you running your school in no time, but you can if you want to learn more you can check out the other topics.

Your school has four rooms: the art room, the gym, the library, and the cafeteria. Students at Avatar High have no class schedule, and can go to art, gym, or the library whenever they want. Lunch happens once a day, and is mandatory. Look around your school by using the mini-map and arrow buttons in the top-right corner.

Your students will move around your school doing activities in the rooms and talking to each other. Each student has stuff they like and stuff they don't, and part of the fun will be trying to figure out what makes each student happy. Your students will also get better at things over time: the more they play basketball, the better they'll get a sports; the more they study in the library, the better their grades will get.

Students will decide what to do on their own, but you can help them out by telling them where to go. Just click a student to select them, then click somewhere else to send them to do something or to talk to somebody. You can find out more about a student by selecting them and clicking the "View Details" button. From there you can see a student's grades, read the thoughts in their journal, and customize them by changing their clothing or hairstyle or by buying special items.

There's no winning Avatar High, so sit back and do what you want with your school. You'll be rewarded for keeping your students happy, though, and you can see how your school is doing by checking out the meters on the right side of the screen. Avatar High will also throw some challenges your way, and dealing with these events -- like the prom, the big game, and the big test -- will earn you even more points.

You can save your progress in Avatar High if you're logged into your N account. Your school and students will be saved for the next time you play, and cool stats and info about your school will be available on your profile page to share with other N users.
