Family Quests
Household chores as a family adventure game
Overview
A gamified family chore manager that reframes household tasks as quests. Parents create quests and define rewards, children complete them to earn points, and those points are redeemed against a shared family treasury.
It is built to be simple enough for a four-year-old to use on a tablet without help, while still giving parents the management tools they need.
Key features
- A quest log for each child
- A visual dashboard of the day's assigned quests, readable by young children on a tablet.
- Parent approval flow
- Children submit completed quests for approval, so points are awarded deliberately rather than automatically.
- The family treasury
- Parents define rewards and their point cost; children browse and redeem what they have earned.
- Two distinct experiences, one app
- Adventurers and quest masters see different interfaces built for very different ages and needs.
