With rewards, zilla, and just enough chaos to make it fun. BUILT FOR KIDS AGES 4–16 Not all kids are the same, and Chorezilla knows it. Tasks are designed to match your child's age and ability, so a 5-year-old isn't staring at a to-do list built for a teenager. As they grow, Chorezilla grows with them. REWARDS THEY ACTUALLY WANT Kids earn points for completing chores, which they can redeem for rewards you set.

The kids do the work. GAMIFIED AND ACTUALLY FUN Chorezilla makes chores feel less like chores.
