Home Heroes — chores turned into a game
01. Problem
Getting kids to do chores is a daily struggle. Sticker charts and reminders don’t motivate — enthusiasm fizzles out within a week.
02. Solution
We turned chores into a game with top-tier playful polish. The child creates a hero, completes real everyday tasks and climbs from Cadet to Legend. Parents manage everything from a PIN-protected vault.
03. Outcome
Live in production, in daily use on the family iPad. Heading to the App Store. Proof: we take a product from idea to a finished, actually-used app.
What we did
Home Heroes turns family chores into a game. The child creates their own hero character, and everyday tasks — making the bed, doing the dishes, feeding the pet — become quests that earn XP, treasure and level-ups. Progressing from Cadet to Legend keeps motivation alive for weeks, not just the first day.
The visual standard is a deliberate choice: bright, rewardingly game-like and professionally polished, so the app competes on the same level as kids’ other games. Parents get their own PIN-protected vault for managing tasks, rewards and up to four child profiles.
