Free mobile game on Epic

Epic’s mobile app has a new freebie right now, and this one is a full paid game: Dumb Ways to Draw is free to claim from April 9 to April 16, 2026 in the Epic Games Store mobile app. GameGrin listed the giveaway window, and Epic’s store page shows the game’s normal price at $4.99. (gamegrin.com) (store.epicgames.com) This is part of Epic’s weekly mobile giveaway program, which mirrors the older free-game rhythm on its personal computer store. One week earlier, Epic gave away Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games from April 2 to April 9 in the same mobile app. (store.epicgames.com) (gamespot.com) The game itself is a touch-screen puzzle game built around drawing lines to save the series’ bean-shaped characters from hazards. Epic’s listing says it has more than 250 levels, daily challenges, and unlockable pens, with an Android install size of 110 megabytes and Android 9 as the minimum operating system version. (store.epicgames.com) That bean universe started as a train-safety campaign, not a game pitch. Dumb Ways to Die began in Melbourne in 2012 as a public service announcement for Metro Trains Melbourne, and the official brand site still describes the franchise as growing out of those rail-safety origins. (dumbwaystodie.com) (shop.dumbwaystodie.com) The campaign worked because the song spread far beyond train stations. The original YouTube upload now shows about 349 million views, which helps explain how a local safety message turned into a global mobile-game brand. (youtube.com) PlaySide Studios is the company behind the current game, and Epic’s store page lists both developer and publisher as PlaySide. The official Dumb Ways site says PlaySide has released five Dumb Ways to Die games and that the franchise has passed 350 million downloads and 7 billion game sessions. (store.epicgames.com) (dumbwaystodie.com) There is one catch with Epic’s mobile push: availability depends on platform and region. Epic said last week’s mobile giveaway was available on Android worldwide and on iPhone in the European Union, and third-party giveaway trackers say Dumb Ways to Draw may not appear in every region. (store.epicgames.com) (gamerpower.com) So the story here is small but concrete: Epic is still using free weekly games to get people into its mobile app, and this week’s bait is a newly released $4.99 puzzle game from a franchise that started as a 2012 Australian safety ad. If you claim it before April 16, 2026, it stays in your library like Epic’s other free-game promotions. (store.epicgames.com) (gamegrin.com)
