> We’ve been hearing about kids who are asking their parents for more tasks at home (whether it’s chores or family activities) every day so they can play Joon, so it feels like we are on the right track.

As a parent ... this might be the right track for you the game creator, but it is not the right track for the kids.

Totally hear your perspective. Having kids beg for chores is not what we are hoping to achieve in the long-term. Our broader goal is to help encourage kids to learn positive habits like making their bed, reading every day, etc. Hopefully we can use this tool to help the parent-child relationship work together towards this goal rather than have it just be a dopamine hit for kids and a task tracker for the parents.

is it a dopaminne hit for kids as it stands?
