Welcome to Kindergarten! Have fun trying to learn and share...and not die. That's important too. In a school that's just not quite right, it's important to be friendly...and take out those that aren't.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was June 2026. 43 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 10 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Kindergarten 2 ($14.99, scores 73) and Party Hard ($9.99, scores 72).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $6.69. It costs $4.99.

9 of the 492 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 890 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
