Fresh Sheet: Ice Resurfacer

Drive the ice machine! Scrape away the scratchy ice, lay down fresh water, and watch the whole rink turn shiny before the next game starts.

Drive the ice machine and make the rink shiny again.

The skaters have left the ice all scratched up. Between games it is your job to drive out in the ice machine, scrape the scratchy ice away, and lay down a fresh coat of water that freezes into smooth, shiny ice. Cover the whole rink before the next game starts.

MADE FOR LITTLE KIDS

• Easy driving is on by default: hold the stick to go, push it left or right to steer, let go to stop
• Friendly yellow dots show the way around the rink
• Bumping the wall is a soft bump, never a penalty
• A gentle tutorial teaches the first rink, one step at a time
• Every flood ends with stars and encouragement

NINE RINKS TO DRIVE Start at a small-town rink on a Tuesday night. Work your way up through a frozen pond, a rec center, a junior game with the goals still on the ice, a busy arena, all the way to the big final under bright lights and a roaring crowd.

THREE ICE MACHINES The little Rink Rat is quick and nimble. The Glacier is a steady workhorse. The big Ironside cleans a wide path but turns slowly. Each one looks and drives differently.

SATISFYING FROM THE FIRST SECOND Dull, scratched ice turns dark and glossy behind you. The snow tank fills as you scrape, so every so often you pull onto the green spot to dump the snow and take on more water. The engine rumbles, the blade scrapes, the crowd cheers, and the phone buzzes as the ice changes under the machine.

FOR GROWN-UPS

• No ads, ever
• No tracking, no analytics, nothing collected about your child
• No accounts and no sign-in
• Three rinks and one machine are free. One purchase opens the other six rinks and two machines, and any purchase screen sits behind a grown-ups-only gate

Fresh Sheet is made by a small family company. If your child loves watching the ice machine at the rink, this is their turn to drive it.
