In Finals Week, developer DESTINYbit ties character outfits directly to exam performance. Players unlock new cosmetics, accessories, and visual items by clearing classroom tests alongside their squad. Customization takes place between tests inside the school hallway, giving groups a dedicated area to adjust their appearance before tackling subsequent challenges.
How Character Outfits and Customization Unlock
Official details from publisher Pretty Soon and DESTINYbit confirm that outfit progression connects to exam survival. The game follows a strict group-pass format: squads either survive the teacher together or fail the exam as a unit. Successfully passing an exam opens up new character drip, allowing players to equip distinctive clothing to showcase who carried the group through test day.
Between exam periods, players gather in the school hall. This area serves as a social and preparation hub where squads can shoot basketballs, throw baseballs, decorate statues, plan upcoming cheating strategies, and manage their unlocked cosmetics.
The studio has confirmed four primary customization categories accessible in the school hall:
- Outfits: Full clothing sets earned by passing exam milestones.
- Accessories: Wearable secondary items unlocked through test progression.
- Hairstyles: Visual hair models customizable in the hallway hub.
- Colors: Palette adjustments for character styling.
Confirmed Customization Features and Visual Modifiers
Beyond standard menu options, player appearance changes dynamically during gameplay through interactive mechanics and teacher penalties.

Finals Week Customization FAQ
Do outfits provide gameplay stats or stealth bonuses?

What is the Cone of Shame in Finals Week?
The Cone of Shame is a visual restraint forced onto misbehaving students caught by the patrolling teacher. Restraints are intended to complicate active cheating efforts without making survival impossible.
