Recruit a party of adventurers from your household or office, and log your chores to claim experience points for them.

I’ve been reading Jane McGonigal’s phenomenal book Reality Is Broken, and its been showing tons of ways you can utilize the theory behind games to not only improve your time enjoying them or possibly even designing them, but also improve your real life as well! One of the things she talks about is how feedback and active engagement make tasks not only more fun, but make us want to do them. She talks about a website she’s used around her household to make her husband actively compete with her to do the chores, and I wanted to share it with anyone who may be struggling with a messy house and wants to change it up, or maybe just wants to approach doing all the household tasks a little differently. The website is called Chore Wars, and it’s free to use! It essentially turns the house into a big RPG, where you can level up your character by doing chores around the house. I plan on applying this concept to areas of my life where things are a little lacking, and I highly encourage everyone else to at least give it a shot.

i was halfway through creating a "making an actual meal" and then I realized it was already on the list. LOL How do you claim half a chore? *scratches head*

Claim it and only take a portion of the xp? Once you claim something, there's a box at the bottom of the page that lets you change how much xp you're taking from it and when it was done and you can even add a comment. 

If that's what you were asking...

I'm still kind of figuring this whole thing out myself

Hausarbeit spannender gestalten?

Kein Problem mit Chore Wars. Hier ist es möglich Aufgaben im Haushalt mit einem Punktesystem zu bewerten. Vergleichbar einem Rollenspiel sammelt der Ausführende Erfahrungspunkte und steigt in verschiedene Stufen auf. So kann man sich zum Beispiel mit anderen Mitgliedern der Hausgemeinschaft messen und sich spielerisch motivieren.

Chore Wars ist kostenfrei und wird komplett im Browser gespielt.

So I had a dream where ChoreWars was a real thing and the treasures we get were real things, and I was like 'f*** yeah, tiny manatees, I wonder when they'll arrive. Tiny manatees for cleaning the toilet. But then I woke up. It was a disappointing moment for me.

Jenni's subconscious is like, f*** yeah, tiny manatees.
