If you often find yourself procrastinating household tasks as grown-up responsibilities can feel tedious, don’t worry, many people share your sentiment. It’s tempting to postpone chores when there’s a long list of engaging games on your phone. However, Habit Kingdom is here to help change that by offering its own gamified experience. Intriguingly, the more tasks you have waiting, the higher your score!

Does it sound counterintuitive? On the contrary, Habit Kingdom turns mundane chores into epic quests where you defeat monsters to save the world by completing tasks on your to-do list. By crossing items off your list, each task you accomplish translates into in-game actions. This motivational gameplay will have you organizing your messy desk and maintaining a clean house swiftly, and who knows, perhaps even helping you conquer those lingering New Year’s resolutions as well!
