Compete on the show

You can play as a drag queen, drag king, or nonbinary or genderfluid performer. The S.H.A.D.E. scale measures your Smarts, Humor, Artistry, Daring and Enchantment as you take on celebrity impersonation, singing, dancing, costuming and comedy challenges. You can throw shade, work the catwalk, dance, and write original jokes and song lyrics.

Choose a style that is villainous or sweet, campy or elegant, classic or avant garde. You can create a catchphrase in the Twerkshop and compete for the crown as a finalist in Season Eight, or pursue titles such as Fan Favorite and Most Congenial.

Your drag family

Get to know castmates Lady Kali, Scandal Dupree and Dorian Slay. You can focus on making friends, build a drag family, win episodes together, mentor other performers, and start or resolve rivalries. You also decide how to balance competition and bonding with self-care and integrity.

The sabotage mystery

A saboteur is hiding among the contestants, looking for chances to cause trouble. You can investigate the sabotage or ignore it, while deciding whether to protect your well-being or take risks for more fan attention. The story also lets you join the Abbey of the Perpetually Fabulous, a new drag religion.
