Honest prices, printed in full.
The game costs nothing. Everything below is optional — upgrades, education, licensing and gifts — every price in Australian dollars, no subscriptions that quietly renew, no tiers designed to confuse.

One dollar, everything
The average "free" puzzle game monetizes frustration: wait, pay, or watch. Ruby Square monetizes gratitude: love it free, or spend a dollar to own it outright. The rest of this page funds the portal's extra services — coaching, licensing, tournaments — not the game's survival.
Browse the catalogueWhat achievement hunters get
Premium or not, Google Play Games achievements are open to everyone — the bragging rights are entirely skill-based.
The pattern nobody has screenshotted
Finish every stage under world average and something extra unlocks. That's all we'll say here.

Start a refundWe never touch your card
Google Play billing
In-app purchases run entirely through Google's billing system — card details live with Google, not with us.
Invoiced services
Portal services are paid by invoice with a proper ABN and itemized receipt — clean for tax and school budgets.
No stored payment data
This site has no checkout and no account system, which means there's nothing of yours here to leak. See our privacy policy.
Money questions
Because the goal is removing ads, not maximizing revenue. The studio priced it at "one coffee" on purpose — enough to fund updates, cheap enough that everyone can say yes.
No. Only the Classroom License is annual, and it expires rather than renewing — you'll get a reminder email, never a surprise charge.
Schools licensing for 3+ classrooms get 25% off the annual license. Write to the team with your institution details.
Prices are in AUD. In-app purchases convert at Google's local rates; invoiced services can be issued in USD or EUR on request at the day's exchange rate.
Start free. Upgrade when it earns it.
700+ levels cost nothing to try. The rest of this page exists for when you want more.
