Chore Wars takes housework to a new level

From the "Whose Mother Thought Of This" category comes Chore Wars, a kind of ambient/passively multiplayer/clean-your-room-now-mister mash up which pits you against your friends/family/colleagues for the title of Tidiest.



Finally, you can claim experience points for housework.

Recruit a party of adventurers from your household or office, and whenever one of you completes a chore, you can log it and claim XP.

Primarily, it's a system to let you measure how much housework people are doing - someone who only seems to do the washing up might actually be putting in a good couple of hours a week, when it's all added up, and the housemate who appears never to do anything might be at their busiest when everybody else is out.



Monsters are optional.

Very very amusing. Via Wonderland.
