The #1 free app for helping parents get their kids unbelievably excited to do their chores. Teach your kids to be more responsible and helpful by using a language they understand extremely well: digital games. What Does Joon Do? Joon makes it extremely easy to keep your kids motivated to complete their chores by rewarding them with a fun game instead of relying on allowances, gifts, or treats. It teaches your kids to be more independent and encourages them to develop good habits (such as reading every day, making their beds, or cleaning up after themselves). Joon also helps you and your kids connect more as a family in reality. Rather than letting screen time separate your kids from the family, complete family quests together in real life and save them as memories inside the game. Most importantly, Joon turns screen time into a productive activity for your kids where they can learn, grow, connect with family, and become more self-sufficient! How Does Joon Work? In Joon, you assign “Quests” to your kids. When your kids complete their quests, they get coins and experience points that they can use to grow, customize, and care for their virtual pets (Doters). Quests can be anything from chores and exercising to learning and connecting with family instead of screens -- the tasks are endless! It's super easy to help your children build good habits and a strong routine by making quests recurring (either daily, weekly or monthly!). As your kids reach higher levels in the game, they'll become even more engaged with completing the tasks you assign them, sticking to their routine, and even starting to beg you for more chores as the game will encourage them to do so in order to progress. Why Joon? Here are a few things we've heard from families across the U.S.: "I love Joon because, with Joon, the reward is the game. It's not buying them things or giving them money to stay motivated!" - Gen, Parent of 4 "Before Joon, I could never get my 9 year old to read. Now, he's reading on his own for 20 minutes every day!" - Yulia, Parent of 2 "The best part of Joon is the part that gets us closer, using technology to get the family closer and do activities together" - James, Parent of 3 "My son uses Joon every week. It's been so great in getting him excited to stick to his healthy routine." – Ron, Parent of 1 "All of my kids use Joon. It helps motivate them to do their homework, chores, and keep physically fit!" – Robyn, Parent of 4 By creating a game around real-life AND virtual tasks, Joon helps balance productivity with screen-time all while turning your kids into motivated self-starters who no longer need to be nagged or begged to help. They will now proactively start maintaining these responsibilities on their own and develop good habits --- an amazing skill that cannot be taught in school! How Do I Get Started? 1) Install Joon on your device, and your children’s devices (or share a device if they don't). Create a family by adding your kids & another parent. 2) Help your children select and name their new virtual pet. 3) Start creating quests that are most important to your family (such as chores, learning, or exercising) and assign them to your kids. 4) Once your children complete their quests, you can review and approve them to make sure they were completed correctly. 5) Once approved, your children receive coins and experience points that let them feed, level up, buy things, and progress in the game with their virtual pet. 6) Keep adding quests to help your children develop good habits! Your children cannot grow on their own. Make sure to stay involved in the process and keep assigning new quests as needed to allow your children to continue helping, learning, growing, and progressing in the game. 7) That's it!
