If you want more, one optional unlock adds the full toolbox: €5.99 in the eurozone \(local prices in each store\), bought once by a grown-up behind a parent gate. No subscription, no ads, and nothing to buy inside your child's play. [Play in your browser]()[What's free](<#free>) - One purchase - No subscription - Bought by a grown-up ![Painted illustration of a wooden toolbox tied with a red ribbon next to a single coin on a yellow sheet with a ketchup zigzag, the painter reading a book beside it.]() ## The short answer Yes, Extreme Drawing has one in-app purchase, and we'd rather tell you that than hide it. It is a single unlock, paid once. It doesn't renew, doesn't expire and doesn't come in levels or coins. The free part isn't a trial or a teaser. It is a complete toy that stays free for good, and your child never sees what they don't have. ## Two ways a kids' app can charge A subscription - A payment every month or every year, until someone remembers to cancel - A free trial that turns into a charge - Content that can disappear when the subscription stops - Often a lock or a price inside the child's screens or One unlock - One payment, once, made by a grown-up - No trial to cancel, no renewal date - Everything bought stays, and so does everything your child made - Every tool we add later is included ## What's free and what's in the full toolbox Free or paid is decided per tool, and tools never move between tabs. When you unlock, the rest simply appears in the same tabs, in the same places. ### Free, for good All the drawing tools \(crayons, coloured pencils, markers, paint, watercolour\), the paint board and the drawing kit \(ruler, compass, spiral gears, perspective, stencils\). Every tool in the Kitchen, Science and Toolbox tabs: ketchup, ice cream, eggs, bread dough, red cabbage juice, magic milk, the eruptions, the iron, the fire and more. Every time skip: wait an hour, wait three days, bake in the oven, put in the freezer, a week in the sun. Plus water, the sponge, paper towel and bleach drops in the Bathroom, glue and glitter \(so salt painting\) in Craft, and the ants in the Garden, which arrive as a welcome gift. ### In the full toolbox The rest of the Garden \(mud, sand, leaves, seeds that sprout, and the pigeon, puppy, cat and snail\), the rest of the Bathroom \(spray bottle, soap and suds, bleach pen, squeegee, hair dryer, vacuum and more\), the rest of Craft \(tape, confetti, googly eyes, stickers, stamps, rollers, hole punch, toothpicks\) and the whole Toy box \(toy cars, water pistol, balls, bubbles, slime\). And every tool we add later. ![Painted illustration of a wooden toolbox tied with a red ribbon next to a single coin on a yellow sheet with a ketchup zigzag, the painter reading a book beside it.]() ## How the purchase works - **Only a grown-up can buy.** The purchase sits in the grown-ups' area, behind a parent gate with an easy sum \(like 37 \+ 40\). There is no buy button anywhere your child plays. - **You choose how it arrives.** Everything at once, wrapped as a present for your child to open, or one new thing a day. - **Family Sharing.** On iPhone and iPad, one purchase covers your family through Apple's Family Sharing. \(Google Play doesn't share in-app purchases between family members.\) - **New device?** Restore the purchase from the grown-ups' area; the store remembers it. - **Seasonal events are free for everyone**, paid or not, and are never sold. - **Nothing is taken away.** What your child has, and everything they made, stays. Buying in the browser You can also unlock the browser version at play.extremedrawing.com. The payment page is Stripe's, and your receipt e-mail carries a restore code that unlocks the full toolbox in the browser on any device. The apps for iPhone, iPad and Android are bought separately in their own store, so buy where your child actually plays. Does Extreme Drawing have in-app purchases? One: an optional unlock of the full toolbox, bought once by a grown-up in the grown-ups' area behind a parent gate. There are no coins, gems, subscriptions or second purchases. How much is the full toolbox? €5.99 in the eurozone. Each store shows its own local price in your currency before you buy. Is the free version a trial? No. It has no time limit and nothing in it stops working. The free tools stay free. Will my child keep asking me to buy it? We try not to give them a reason: your child never sees a price, a lock or the tools they don't have. The new tools just appear after a grown-up unlocks them. Do I pay again for new tools? No. Every tool we add later is part of the full toolbox, and seasonal events are free for everyone. ## More for parents ![Painted illustration of a child's drawing rolled up safely in a small wooden box with a heart-shaped latch, a puppy asleep beside it.]() ### [No ads, no accounts, no data]() What that means, and how to check it on the store pages. ![Painted illustration in two halves: a girl doing magic milk on a tablet, and the same girl doing it for real with a dish of milk while a grown-up's hand helps.]() ### [Screen time that ends in the kitchen]() Try it on screen, then do it for real together. ![Painted illustration of a tablet and a phone on a yellow sheet with a ketchup zigzag, both screens showing paint splats, milk swirls and a crayon house, the painter smiling at them.]() ### [The app]() Platforms, languages and everything that's included. ## Start with the free part Most of the kitchen science is free.
