The app will ask if you have a Pixicade box, click “yes” and scan the QR code that is on your instruction sheet. 

*If you entered an age under 13, you will need to complete the email approval process to unlock the “Create” button.  

This charge is only applicable for users under 13 and is required to comply with federal COPPA law. In order to protect your child and make sure that a parent is aware that the child is sharing their content, “verifiable parental consent” is required and there are very strict restrictions on what qualifies as verifiable parental consent. Pixicade satisfies this legal requirement through an in-app purchase. The $.99 purchase also provides an additional 100 game creations!

The Pixicade kit comes with 2 QR codes. You can scan the QR codes to unlock the full app on 2 different accounts, or you can scan both codes on one account to double the game creation count.

You can use an in-app purchase to buy one of the following options: 

50 Games for $.99 

300 Games for $4.99 

750 Games for $9.99 

Pixicade is currently available in the US and Canadian App stores. Stay in touch for exciting news on our international launches!

Pixicade is listed as 6+ “with help”, and 10+ “I got this”! 

We’ve found that 6–10-year-olds may need help taking the photos, reading through the guidebooks, etc., but 10+ enjoy working independently.  

No, there are no subscription fees to use Pixicade. Each box comes with 2 QR codes that allow you to create 800 games each. Once you use all of those, you can purchase more game creations through in-app purchases.  

The only other charge you may incur is an optional $.99 in-app purchase to enable children under 13 to share their games and get an additional 100 games. This charge is only applicable for users under 13 and is required to comply with federal COPPA law.  

The app is available for Android devices and should work on most Chromebooks. We recommend double checking the google play store on your device for the app availability to be certain.
