# FamilyQuest

> FamilyQuest is a free, gamified family chore tracker where kids earn stars, build streaks, and redeem real rewards. Used by 10,000+ families worldwide.

FamilyQuest turns daily household tasks into fun quests for children. Parents set up chores with star values, kids complete them by tapping, and the whole family tracks progress together. Built as a progressive web app that works on any device — no app download required.

## Key Features

- **Star-based rewards**: Kids earn stars for completing chores and redeem them for real prizes in a customisable Prize Store
- **Streak tracking**: Daily streaks with flame animations build consistency and motivate children. Kids progress through ranks from Bronze to Diamond.
- **Parent approval**: Optional approval mode lets parents verify completed tasks with one tap from anywhere
- **Multi-child support**: Create individual profiles for each child with fun emoji avatars. Track progress separately from one family dashboard.
- **Device linking**: Children get their own dashboard on a separate device via a simple 6-character code — no account or email needed
- **Works offline**: Progressive web app with offline support — add to home screen for an app-like experience

## The S.T.A.R.S. Framework™

FamilyQuest is built on the S.T.A.R.S. Framework™: Simple tasks, Tracked progress, Achievable goals, Real rewards, Streaks that stick. This evidence-based approach combines behavioural psychology with gamification to build lasting family habits.
