Creative Club

More room to make it yours.

The free app is a complete little theater. Creative Club adds the bigger costume closet, custom artwork, longer shows, and simple video export when you want more.

01

Style your own characters

Turn a photo or drawing into cartoon, watercolor, pixel art, and other styles.

02

Make a backdrop

Create a stage from an image, then choose the look that fits your story.

03

Save your finished show

Export a finished show as a video. It is saved to Photos on your device, not uploaded to Polished Play.

04

Open the whole costume closet

Use every character pack, including Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and Interviewing.

05

Build characters from scratch

Draw them, import from Files, or cut an actor out of a photo.

06

Record for longer

Make shows up to 10 minutes long instead of the free version’s 5 minutes.

Try the whole theater.

Download free, then start a Creative Club trial in the app.

The fine print

Good questions.

Can I use Puppet Pals without joining Creative Club?

Yes. The app is free to download and includes the Fairytale character pack, backdrops, and everything you need to record and play back a show.

What happens to my shows if I leave the club?

Shows you’ve already made stay on your device. You can keep using the free features, but club tools such as AI styling, video export, and custom characters are unavailable until you rejoin.

How does video export work?

Exporting a finished show saves a video to Photos on your device. Polished Play does not upload or host the video.

Is this the right version for a classroom?

We recommend Puppet Pals: School Edition—a one-time purchase with everything unlocked and no membership required.
