App description

Chores! – Spring into Cleaning, is a game where players negotiate earning money from a primary caregiver in exchange for doing household chores. These chores include: walking the dog, cleaning furniture, vacuuming the carpet, mopping the floor, raking the leaves, etc. With most chores, cleaning involves swiping the screen in a figure eight motion. The chore is complete when the ‘chore meter’ shows 100%. Players can stop at 80% for 100 coins or 100% for 300 coins. The aim of the game is to use the coins to upgrade your bedroom with new furniture and decorations. There is also a hygiene section where players must clean themselves after chores – which shows the correct way to wash your hands (a timely feature in COVID-19 times).
