Holly Owen is the creative director of Champagne for the Ladies. She explains, “We have had a lot of press and, unfortunately the game has been misrepresented in some articles. It is … a very tongue-in-cheek look at the perils of the quest for cool in high school. Key word: irony!” The developers are of the view that a looming parent could signal a social death while teachers are someone who exists to be manipulated. Also, according to developers, bribery is a tactic that helps you get out of a sticky situation while stealing from the mall is the way to get new clothes.

Whatever, the Coolest Girl in School mobile game has caught the attention of many and is helping in expanding the market.
