In American Girl: Mia Goes For Great, players will help Mia prepare her solo appearance at the Lucerne's Winter Show by choosing a costume, designing and practicing a skating program, and selecting music for her performance. The Program Builder lets players choose fancy twists and jumps to practice, and players can find helpful hints at the library for all of the tips and requirements needed to help Mia skate her way to the challenging Regionals. American Girl: Mia Goes For Great also features two strategy-based minigames, "Rink Sweep" and "Snowflakes," that challenge the skills of players.
