Back To School: Uniforms Edition is a dress-up game. A group of girls returning to academic life after a long vacation need the player's help to create memorable, standout uniform-based looks for the first day of school.
The game presents the player with a spin wheel on the home screen marked with different outfits. The player uses a semicircular arrow button to spin the wheel. After the wheel stops, they select the piece that turns blue and features flashing hot pink edges.
One of the girls and a location then appear on the screen. The player can change her hairstyle, top, bottom, footwear, jewelry, and extra accessories. They must watch an advertisement to select one-piece dresses.
Each area gives the player a wide selection of options. For example, they might choose dress shoes, heels or boots with or without socks or tights when they use the button marked with shoes. If they use the button marked with a purse, they can select a purse, a backpack, a book, glasses or another handheld accessory.
Back To School: Uniforms Edition helps the player track the success of their actions with a lower-left vertical progress bar and a sliding heart icon. When the heart slides to the top of the bar, the player selects a check mark button to return to the spin wheel.
After the player gives each girl a new look, they use the flashing camera button in the upper-right area on the home screen to access a photo area where they can download pictures of the entire group together and each girl in front of a different backdrop. If they're not happy with how one of the girls looks, they can return to the spin wheel, select the outfit icon associated with her, and retool her appearance.
