Keeping track of household chores a point of contention with you and your love(s)?<\/p>\n
Are you even slightly a geek?<\/p>\n
Do you have a sense of humor?<\/p>\n
Have I got something fun for you!<\/p>\n
Chore Wars<\/a>. It’s a very customizable program by which you and your household can have a D&D style adventure revolving around… housework!<\/p>\n It’s very simple. You just set up an adventure party, and create adventures (chores) for members to claim. You get to choose how many XP (experience points, for you non-gamers) each chore will receive. The recommendation is that the XP should be roughly equivalent to the minutes it takes to complete a chore. You also set up other factors involved in the chore. Ferinstance, stacking wood would be something requiring a lot of strength and endurance, but negotiating a car loan would require a lot of intelligence, wisdom and charisma. As you gain experience points, your character grows and changes according to what adventures you complete and what characteristics these adventure requires.<\/p>\n Each adventure is quite scaleable. Let’s say you give the vacuuming, which has a full XP score of 10, a lick and a promise. You can claim half that. You also have the option of outlining exactly what’s require to claim the full XP on a certain chore. (My household doesn’t bother).<\/p>\n Completely geektastic.<\/p>\n My own household does use this system and we enjoy it a great deal. While there never were fights about housework, it’s a gentle motivation to keep on top of chores in a fun way. Chorewars did not exist during OLQ’s heyday, but if it did, we would have used it. In fact, the chore chart<\/a> we did use was a gentle way to show who was doing what over a period of time and did tend to keep people motivated to pull their own weight. But I think, being gamers, we would have enjoyed Chore Wars a lot more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Keeping track of household chores a point of contention with you and your love(s)?
