Customer Reviews

So Cool!
This is so cool! I have never seen anything like this. The girls move from room to room and you interact with them. The 6 little rooms are decorated with tons of tiny dollhouse furnishings. It has games and all kinds of cool stuff. It even connects to your i-Pod!! The little figures are so cute - comes with one, and you can buy more. My daughter had to beg my wife to let her play with it. With all the junk out there, it's great to see such a well made toy again.

9 year old daughter likes it
My daughter is not really into dolls or typical toys. She only asked for laptop, a Wii, more Webkinz or Pixel Chix Roomies for her 9th birthday. Thus, we bought her the roomies house. I really didn't know much about it before we bought it and I still don't. She was able to take it out of the box and play it without any help or direction. She loves it. It's portable and great for the car (with headphones.) There is also a volume control because those roomies can get loud.

The toy comes with 1 roomie and you MUST buy more so that they can interact within the house. Without at least 1 extra room mate, it a very lonely and not so fun toy. Each roomie has a different personality, Hip Hop, Book Worm, Beauty Queen and Rocker. We have them all but they all don't fit in to house at one time, so you don't need to have them all.

We ended up buying the extra roomies for about $6-10 each at Target/Walmart stores as they were not available at amazon.

She is able to link this house up with her other pixel chix toys as well as her friends pixel chix toys. So she can play with it alone or with other friends and they all have fun.

Amazon had the roomies house for $44.99--less than any other store (online or brick and mortar) with free shipping, too.

This was a successful 9th birthday gift for my daughter.

Not working out of the box
I bought this product for my 10 year old. It worked in the demo mode. When we opened the box and installed the roomie it still did not work out of demo mode. We tried new batteries and reset the system several times to no avail. After inspecting and looking at a friends, I noticed the little plug in for the roomies were not there on hers like they were on the others. I returned it to the store with no problem, torn box and all. I feel this would be a fun idea, she decided to buy a ds game instead of returning it.
