Habbly turns household chores into a family game — with XP, coins, avatars, boss battles and real rewards. QUESTS THAT ARE FUN Create tasks for individuals, for everyone (pool) or on rotation — grouped by rooms with photo proof and due times. Kids see exactly what's due today, what they missed and what's coming next on their personal dashboard. A guided tutorial eases both kids and parents into the app. REWARD THROUGH PLAY Every quest earns experience points (XP) and coins. Kids level up, unlock 100 title tiers and over 80 avatars — many with little animations — and spend coins on real rewards: screen time, sweets, outings. Sticker albums per room and an explorer map add extra bonuses. MERCENARY MARKET (NEW) Not in the mood for your own chore? Set a coin bounty and hand it to a sibling — anyone can take it on as a mercenary and cash in. Admins can switch the feature off anytime. WEEKLY BOSS AS A TEAM CHALLENGE A new boss appears every Monday. The family can only beat it together — each finished quest deals damage. Victory brings bonus points, and physical rewards land safely in the treasure vault until parents mark them redeemed. STREAKS & STATS Stay consistent and build streaks — being away freezes them instead of breaking them. Leaderboard, weekly comparison, medals and a public hero profile show every step of progress. POCKET MONEY & SCREEN TIME Coins and screen time are visible right in the profile. Supporters unlock dynamic pocket money: a fixed share plus an XP-based bonus, history included. PARENTS STAY IN CONTROL Admins review and approve completed tasks (partial credit too), get a daily email about open tasks and can assign tasks directly. Three roles, invites by email, code or QR, plus absence and holiday management with automatic reassignment. SAFE FOR KIDS Local kid profiles without their own email, protected by a parent PIN plus a separate PIN per child. When a child outgrows it, their profile can become a standalone account with a login — and be reverted again. REALMS & SHARING SETS Export your own task and reward packs by code, import others with a preview — plus official starter sets in several languages. CALENDAR, OFFLINE & LIVE All quests as an iCal feed in Apple, Google or Outlook, plus push reminders. Offline mode saves actions when the connection drops and sends them automatically; changes appear live across all devices. Supporters receive daily, weekly and monthly plans by email. PRIVACY No tracking cookies, no data stored outside the EU. Ads only for free users — supporters are ad-free.
