Lemonade 8 coins = 48 min of work

Earnwick village: Zuzu's lemonade stand on a cobbled square, with wallet, savings jar and mission progress.

The big idea

Every price is also work time.

  • Your partner earns 10 coins for an hour of work.
  • So every price also shows how long it takes to earn.
  • A lemonade for 8 coins? That's 48 minutes of work.

Try it

50coins 5 hours of work

10 coins = 1 hour of your partner's work. The same rule runs through the whole game.

How it works

A market day in 5 steps

Your child makes every decision. The day shows what each one did.

Morning weather: a 33 °C heatwave brings thirsty crowds and lets drinks cost more.

Step 1 · News

Morning news

Check the weather, hear Pip’s village news, and see changes in buying prices. Your child plans the day before spending a single coin.

Teaches Planning ahead

Morning weather: a 33 °C heatwave brings thirsty crowds and lets drinks cost more.

Today’s weather

Heatwave!

33 °C

Thirsty crowds. Drinks can cost more.

Buy supplies: choose drinks and snacks in the supplier's shop, with customer demand estimates and the total cost.

Step 2 · Buy

Buy supplies at the wholesaler

Your partner guesses how many people want each product. Your child decides how many to buy: too few and people leave, too many and they go to waste.

Teaches Planning ahead Avoiding waste

15 lemonades Your partner's guess: about 15 people want one 60 coins6 hours of work
Set prices: choose a price and compare the profit per sale with how many customers want to buy.

Step 3 · Prices

Set prices on the chalkboard

Your child writes a price and sees at once how many people will buy. Higher means more per cup, and fewer cups.

Teaches Profit Fair prices

Lemonade 8 coins48 min of work
7 of 10 people buyFair price
Market day in progress: customers buy drinks and snacks or leave feedback such as Too pricey.

Step 4 · Sell

Open the stand

Customers come in. They buy, or walk away and say why, so your child knows what to change tomorrow.

Teaches Trust and reputation

Too pricey! A bunny walking away
+8 A bear buying a lemonade
Line's too long A duck walking away
Closing time: the stand shows how many customers were served and which leftover supplies went to waste.

Step 4 · Closing

Closing time

When the stand closes, leftovers that won't keep until tomorrow hop into the bin, and the coins they cost go with them. Lemonade only lasts one day, so it pays to buy close to your partner's guess.

Today's results: an itemized receipt prints from the till, showing sales, supplies, waste, profit and work time.

Step 5 · Results

Count the coins

The receipt adds it all up. Money in minus money out is profit, the supplies check shows what was thrown away, and the day's lesson says what worked.

Teaches Profit

Evening savings: move coins from today's profit into a glass jar toward future stand upgrades.

And in the evening

Fill the jar

Before bed, your child decides how much to save in a glass jar. Saved coins pay for stand upgrades later.

Real life

What does it really cost?

The gem translator turns a real in-game purchase into a parent's working hours and weeks of pocket money.

Gems in another game

40 minof a parent's work
2 weeksof pocket money

Example: a parent who earns €15 an hour, and €5 of pocket money a week. In the app, a parent sets these numbers privately, and the child only ever sees the result.

The 24-hour wait list

Still want it? Put it on the wait list and decide again tomorrow. Most must-haves feel different after a night's sleep.

Gem translator: a game purchase shown as a parent's working time and weeks of pocket money, with a 24-hour wait option.

For parents

You set the limits. You see the progress.

The parent zone sits behind a gate or a PIN, so what you set there stays set.

Parent zone: private settings for the gem translator, a daily play limit, reminders and the learning curve.

Daily limit

5 market days a day by default. You decide the number.

Every mission comes with one question to ask at home, so the lesson keeps going after the game.

Questions

Good questions

What age is Earnwick for?

Kids aged 9+. The words are simple, and each mission teaches one money idea at a time.

What do we need to play?

An iPhone or iPad. Earnwick is on the App Store. There is no account to make and no login.

What's free?

Missions 1–4, free play at the stand, the savings jar and stand upgrades, the wardrobe, the gem translator and the progress charts. They stay free.

How much does the full game cost?

Pay once: US$6.99 in the US or €5.99 in the euro area. The whole family gets lifetime access to every stage and future map, including those still coming. No subscription. Only a parent can buy it, behind the parent gate. The App Store shows your local price.

Is it real money?

No. Earnwick is a money-learning game for kids aged 9+, not a bank account. Kids practice spending and saving with play coins that can’t be bought. Each price also shows the time needed to earn it. No account or login is needed. Parents can set up the gem translator to explain real-world prices as work time.

What happens to my child's data?

Nothing leaves the device. Earnwick collects no personal data: no account, no analytics, no tracking. Progress is saved on the device itself.

How much screen time does it take?

You decide. By default your child can play 5 market days a day, and you can change that in the parent zone. Then the market closes until morning. There are no streaks, so a day off costs nothing.

Will the game ask my child to buy things?

Never. There are no ads and no coin packs. Your child never sees a price, and the partner never asks for money.

Your partner says: See you at the stand, partner!

Your partner, waving goodbye

Your stand is waiting.

The first 4 missions are free. No account, no ads, no tracking.
