Family Strategy & Rewards

Features & Capabilities

Transform household chores and personal habits into an engaging strategy game! Earn points, use power cards, become Judge, and make productivity fun for the whole family.

STOP NAGGING. START WINNING. Gavel is the high-stakes household management app that turns boring chores into a competitive strategy game. No more sticky notes. No more passive-aggressive texts. Whether you’re a parent tired of the "chore wars" or a roommate sick of the "he-said-she-said," Gavel brings order to the court and makes productivity addictive.

Transform mundane tasks into a quest for points, power, and household domination. While your chores are shared for the household to see, your personal habits and private goals remain 100% confidential—locked away from the Judge and other house members.

THE COURT IS IN SESSION Every week, a new Judge is appointed. This creates a rotating power dynamic where everyone gets a turn to lead. The Judge holds the ultimate power to:

SET THE LAW: Create permanent or temporary household rules (e.g., "No dishes in the sink past 10 PM" or "Friday is Pizza Night").

BOUNTIES: Place extra rewards on the "gross" tasks nobody wants to do, like cleaning the gutters or the fridge.

VERDICTS: Review photo proofs in the marketplace to approve task completions and release points.

TAXATION: Adjust house tax rates to fund the common rewards pool in the Family Bank.

THE DOGHOUSE SYSTEM: ACCOUNTABILITY REIMAGINED Gavel uses a unique, fair consequence system to keep the household running smoothly.

THE CONSEQUENCE: Fall behind on your chores? You’re in the Doghouse. You’ll pay higher taxes on your earnings until you prove your commitment to the court.

THE BAIL SYSTEM: Don't want to wait it out? Plea the Judge, use a "Get Out of Doghouse" power card, or spend your hard-earned points to post bail and get back into the game immediately. It is the ultimate test of point management!

DRAW YOUR DESTINY: 30+ UNIQUE POWER CARDS Gavel is as much a strategy game as it is a utility. Earn points to unlock the deck:

BUFF CARDS: Double XP, shield, dethrone, strategist and more

CHAOS CARDS: Inflation Hike, Point Steal, or Forced Task Swaps and more

CURSE CARDS: Points Freezes, Reverse XP and more

REAL-WORLD REWARDS: Trade points for TV control, thermostat rights, or custom rewards.

THE MARKETPLACE: Trade your power cards or pay a roommate in points to take over your chores for the night!

ZERO PAY-TO-WIN: Every point and card must be earned through real-world productivity and verified by the Judge.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN: THE TWO ZONES SHARED COURT: Household chores, laws, and the marketplace are visible to everyone so the Judge can verify them.

PRIVATE CHAMBERS: Your personal habits, private self-improvement goals, and individual data are visible to you alone. No roommate or parent can see your personal growth journey unless you choose to share it.
