```text
Turn this list of chores into a game for my family: [CHORES TO DO, e.g. dishes, wipe counters, toys away]. Players: [WHO IS PLAYING, e.g. me and my 6-year-old]. We have about [TIME AVAILABLE, e.g. 20 minutes].

Invent a story world with a theme my kid will love, like [THEME IDEAS, e.g. dragons, space or detectives]. Give the game a name, a short dramatic intro I can read out loud, a mission for each chore, points for each task, a timer challenge and a small real-life reward at the end that costs nothing, like picking the bedtime story. Make sure every chore has to be done properly to win, not just fast. Keep it short enough to fit on one screen.
```

## Step by step

1. List the chores you need done tonight.
2. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with your kids' ages.
3. Read the game story out loud like the start of a quest.
