Make family responsibilities feel like an RPG adventure! ChoreLord helps parents organize and schedule 'Quests' (chores and routines), then gives kids a clear and fun way to complete them, by making them worth points, which kids accumulate toward meaningful goals and rewards that families set. Use points to trade for incentives like screen time, allowance, or any goal/incentive that a child/parent agree to. Kids also level up their characters by completing quests, earning valuable gold to help them on their journey. Along the way, streaks, lucky spins, and special gear will help them on their path to find their great treasures! If family has outgrown or isn't ready for the RPG style experience, there is also a classic mode that keeps the focus on chores, points, and rewards. FOR PARENTS • Create a family and managed child profiles • Assign one-time or repeating chores • Set due dates, points, and optional photo proof requirements • Review and approve completed work, or send it back for improvement • Create rewards and manage redemption requests • Choose a classic chore style or quest-themed experience • Set reminders and track family activity • Community Chores make setup a breeze. FOR KIDS • See assigned chores and upcoming responsibilities • Submit completed work for parent approval • Earn points, XP, and Gold toward real life incentives as well as in game armor and weaponry that helps you toward your incentives! • Choose reward goals and request rewards • Follow progress from a kid-friendly dashboard BUILT FOR FAMILIES Children can use parent-managed profiles and join a family device with a QR setup code.
