We always thought it would be fun to be one of Bravo's Real Housewives for day. Although no one
wants to admit it, it would be fascinating to be a table flipping, fashion
mongering millionaires for just a few hours — wouldn't it? But since we
haven't been able to get Lisa Vanderpump to be our BFF just yet, we'll have to
settle for living out our fantasy via the new Real Housewives Facebook game.
The app let's you dive into the lifestyle right away and it
promises that you can “play your way to the top of New York society.” You start
by choosing from a few fabulous hairstyles (sorry ladies, there are no Kim
Zolciak wigs included in the NYC version) and some hot outfits. And then you go
on your tutorial quest — to meet Bravo Executive Vice President of
Development and Talent and Watch What
Happens Live host Andy Cohen in a hip Manhattan nightclub. Then you get to
dance with a clubber and chat up the hottest locals.
Of course along the way you need to accumulate some buzz and
earn style and friendship points. And Housewives haters might find
it hard to believe that you also have to load up on charm. Not surprisingly,
you have to buy energy with diamonds.
The game is filled with shopping trips for clothes and cell
phones. You can make salon appointments, sip cocktails on a rooftop bar and
attend a festival in Central Park. If you need to get centered, you can
even take yoga class. You can party on a yacht in the Hamptons and dine at
Boathouse.
And there are the requisite chats with digital versions of
the Real Housewives stars like the
Countess Lu Ann. You even get to flirt with her studly French date, Jacques. But
be careful not to upset her, the higher level of friendship you earn, the more
access you get to special parties and quests. This is, after all, a popularity
contest.
Needless to say you have to make choices along the way.
Should you end an argument nicely or angrily? Your decisions will lead to
varying results. The ultimate goal is “to keep your friends close and your Real
Housewives closer.” This game isn’t for the faint of heart.
