House Points
Can I make chores more fun and give our kid a fair way to earn rewards?
1 / 6
What it is
A family chore-points site, loosely inspired by Harry Potter’s house points. Our kid logs chores on an iPad, earns points, and cashes them in for prizes and experiences we choose together.
Why I built it
We wanted a fun, fair way to reward chores and extra effort around the house.
What I learned
It was my first transaction system. That meant user profiles, an audit log (kids are very precise auditors), balances, and parent approval so no one games the system. It also sparked great family conversations about value and rewards.
