A system that rewards both speed and good behavior — built to motivate kids to move fast, do the job right, and skip the complaining.
ChoreBoom is built around a two-round structure. In Round 1, each kid has personal chores they must finish first. In Round 2, a shared pool of bonus jobs opens up — and whoever finished Round 1 first gets to pick the best ones. That simple rule does the motivating for you.
But speed isn't the whole story. Bonus points let you reward attitude, effort, and kindness in real time — which means the kid who finishes first doesn't automatically win. The kid who rushes through while complaining can still lose to a sibling who moves steadily, stays cheerful, and does the job right.
Add a live leaderboard and one-tap parent approvals — and you've got a chore day where kids are genuinely competing to be both fast and good.
From the parent dashboard on your phone, tap "Start Session." You can create a new session or reuse a saved job list from a previous chore day.
Each child gets their own private list of jobs to finish before anything else — things like making their bed, cleaning their room, or taking care of laundry. These jobs are assigned only to them; no one else can do them or take them.
These are the shared jobs anyone can claim once they've finished Round 1 — things like vacuuming, emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the trash. You set the point values, so high-effort jobs are worth more.
You give kids your 5-character family code (like RTME4). They type it at choreboom.com/join on any phone, tablet, or computer. No app download, no account creation. They select their name and enter their PIN, and they're in.
Kids see their personal jobs and the live leaderboard. They can see each other's scores and status in real time. When a kid finishes a job, they tap "Done" — it goes to you for approval. One tap on your end, and their points land.
The moment a kid completes all their personal jobs, the community pool unlocks for them. They see the available bonus jobs and can claim one immediately. The kid who finished Round 1 first gets first pick — the best, highest-point jobs are up for grabs.
When all jobs are done, you close the session. The final leaderboard shows who earned what. Points can mean whatever you decide — screen time, a treat, an activity. ChoreBoom tracks the score; you decide the reward.
Most chore charts are a flat list. A flat list gives kids no reason to go fast — finishing earlier doesn't get them anything. ChoreBoom's two-round structure changes that.
Every child has a set of personal chores that are theirs alone. These must be finished before they can access Round 2. There's no skipping, no shortcuts, no helping — each kid has to do their own jobs first.
The shared job pool holds household chores anyone can claim — once they've finished Round 1. Jobs are claimed one at a time. First done is first pick. Whatever's left when you unlock Round 2 is what you're working with.
You don't have to explain why they should hurry. After one session, every kid understands: slow down in Round 1 and your sibling gets the vacuum job (10 points) while you're stuck with trash duty (6 points). That realization lands without a lecture.
Kids already compete with each other constantly. ChoreBoom gives that competitive energy somewhere productive to go. The rivalry that normally shows up as arguments gets channeled into racing through chores.
Bonus points mean the race isn't purely about speed. The kid who rushes through while complaining, does sloppy work, or needs constant reminders can still finish first and lose — because attitude, effort, and not complaining earn extra points. Kids figure this out quickly and adjust.
Job completion is the floor, not the ceiling. The point system lets you recognize the things that actually matter — attitude, effort, kindness, initiative — not just whether the job got crossed off the list.
From your parent dashboard, you can add bonus points to any kid at any time during the session. Two taps, done. The points appear instantly on the leaderboard — and kids notice.
Over time, this shapes behavior well beyond chore day. Kids learn that complaining costs them, that sloppy work doesn't pay off, and that a good attitude is worth something concrete. That connection — between how you show up and what you get — is the whole point.
Takes about 5 minutes to set up. Free forever. Works on any device — no app download needed.
