## What is Scratchy Kids?

Scratchy Kids turns the magic of scratch art into a playful, touch-first experience on iPhone and iPad — and now, with version 1.1, the same scratch paper can be shared across multiple devices in real time.

Scratch away the dark top layer with a finger or Apple Pencil and instantly reveal bright colors underneath. Every stroke feels direct, satisfying, and easy to understand, so children can jump in right away and start making something delightful.

NEW in 1.1 — Draw Together
Up to four iPhones or iPads in the same room, or on the same Wi-Fi, can share one scratch paper at the same time. One tap to host, one tap to join from the lobby — no accounts, no setup, no settings to fight with. It just works for siblings, friends, road trips, and rainy afternoons.

Also new in 1.1
- Lucky Number background: a hidden number waits under each scratch — a tiny "what will I get?" surprise, and a quiet way for little learners to keep meeting their numbers.
- Repair brush: paint the dark layer back over mistakes, so a slip of the finger no longer means starting over.
- Surprise Paper: one tap starts a ready-to-play scratch paper, so children can begin before choosing settings.

Why families love it
- Scratch with a finger or Apple Pencil
- Reveal rainbow, solid color, pattern, and photo backgrounds
- Play with fun masks including shapes, text, mazes, and nearby roads
- Draw on the same paper across nearby devices — together, in real time
- Repair mistakes instead of starting over
- Watch little debris appear, then blow it away for extra tactile fun
- Save favorite scratch papers and come back to them later
- Export finished artwork with the iOS share sheet
- Designed for iPhone and iPad, in English and Simplified Chinese

Premium
Scratchy Kids includes a free core scratch art experience. Some advanced creative features, including photo backgrounds, advanced patterns, text masks, maze masks, road map masks, and Draw Together, can be unlocked with a one-time Premium in-app purchase. Premium screens are shown behind a simple parent check.

Scratchy Kids is designed to feel joyful from the very first touch: simple enough for children, satisfying enough for families, and colorful enough to keep every creation feeling like a small surprise — now also something you can make together.
