FamilyQuest
A family app for chores, school and rewards
Never ask three times whether it is done.
Your family ticks things off on its own, because your chore and your workout sit on the same board as theirs. Tasks, school, sport, calendar, allowance and screen time are all in there. Too much game for your family? One setting lower and only the display goes, the progress stays.
Mode 1 of 4
The full game
XP, levels, seasons, badges, rewards, pocket money and a leaderboard everyone takes part in. This is the setting where a child opens the app on their own, because something in there is theirs. It works best with kids who know games: they read a level bar without being told. And you are simply in there too, with your own chore and your own workout.
Mode 2 of 4
Game without rewards
All the progress stays visible, there is simply nothing left to earn or spend. No points, no pocket money, no crate. This is the setting for the family where the conversation drifted onto the reward and away from the task itself. Underneath, the XP keeps running, so you can always go back.
Mode 3 of 4
Keeping it up only
No numbers, no levels, no ranking against each other. Just how many days in a row someone keeps it up: one number you would rather not lose. This is the setting when a single habit has to land, like brushing teeth, homework or moving every day. Holiday mode pauses the streak, so a week away costs you nothing.
Mode 4 of 4
Just a list
What's due today, ticking it off, approving it. Nothing else that adds up, nothing that pings and nothing you have to explain. For the family that wants an overview rather than a game, or for a teenager who has outgrown it. Move a setting back up later and the XP from all those months is still there. Nobody starts over.
Everything the family does, in one place
- Tasks & routines
- You are no longer the only one who remembers: mum and dad sit on the same board as the kids. Done on time earns XP.
- Automatic approval
- Do you trust your child? Then a ticked-off routine counts straight away, without you checking it. Set per child; one-off tasks stay with you.
- Taking turns & together
- No more arguing about whose turn it is, because the washing-up rotates through the kids on its own. And some chores only count once everyone has joined in.
- School
- Do not find out how it is going at parents' evening. Timetable, homework and grades are in there the whole term.
- Sport & exercise
- Exercise becomes a family thing: tick off your own workout and stand among the kids on the board.
- Family calendar
- Nobody misses anything because it sat in the wrong calendar. Every appointment and deadline the family has, in one place.
- Grocery list
- Whoever is at the shop sees what got added at home. One list for the whole family: everyone adds and ticks things off, kids too.
- Social challenges
- Being kind becomes as visible as the washing-up. Kids pick from a list you put together: call grandma, help the neighbour, do something kind for someone else.
- Sunday question
- Every Sunday one question for all of you, like ‘what are you proud of this week?’. Everyone writes one sentence. There's nothing to win.
- XP, levels & leaderboard
- Your child sees themselves making progress, so you do not have to keep saying it: levels, seasons, badges and a leaderboard everyone takes part in. Rather not rank each other? Switch the leaderboard off.
- Rewards & allowance
- Allowance lands automatically every week or month, with no notes and no Sunday haggling. Points can be spent on a reward too, and you stay in control of the rate and the payout.
- Family savings pot
- Saving up together for a pizza night or a day at the theme park? A parent sets the goal and adds coins, and every week you complete the weekly challenge something gets added. It never comes out of a child's points.
- Screen time
- No more arguing about five more minutes, because the earned time counts down visibly in the app. Actually stopping the device stays with you, keeping the clock is on us.
And you set the tone from there
- Penalty XP can be switched off. A missed task simply stays a missed task, with no points taken away.
- Holiday mode: a week away costs no streak and triggers no notifications. The app goes quiet.
- The leaderboard can be switched off. Everyone listed by name instead of by rank, which saves a lot of friction between siblings.
Step 1
Create your family
Add everyone, parents and kids. A child needs no email address: they join with the family code or a QR on the fridge.
Step 2
Switch on what fits you
Tick the tabs your family uses, pick how much game goes with it, and pull ready-made tasks by age group from the library.
Step 3
Join in together
Everyone ticks things off, earns XP and levels up. You approve, hand out rewards, and you are simply in there too.
What the research says
Why this works
Well-designed gamification has a large, positive effect on learning and motivation in education.
— meta-analysis, Educational Technology Research & Development (2023)
Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement.
— Hattie & Timperley, The Power of Feedback (2007)
People put in more effort as a goal gets closer — the goal-gradient effect.
— Kivetz, Urminsky & Zheng (2006)
Autonomy, competence and relatedness feed the most durable motivation.

For you as a parent too
- Kids copy what they see you do. Your chore and your workout sit on the same board as theirs.
- Less reminding: the app nudges once in the evening if something is still open, and otherwise keeps quiet.
- One glance per child: what is still open on tasks, school and sport, and what is waiting for your approval.
- Celebrate together without settling scores: the leaderboard shows who did something, never what it was.
Their room has never stayed clean this long.
