Points & Leaderboard
Turn chores into a
friendly competition.
Bobby awards points for every completed task, weighted by difficulty. Track who’s contributing the most with a live leaderboard, podium rankings, and weekly scores. A little competition goes a long way.
Why a little competition changes everything
Let’s be honest — nobody wakes up excited to scrub the bathroom or empty the dishwasher. Chores are routine. They’re repetitive. And in shared households, they’re often a source of tension. “I always do more than you.” Sound familiar?
Bobby turns this dynamic on its head by adding a game layer to everyday tasks. When you complete a task, you earn points. Those points show up on a leaderboard that everyone in the list can see. Suddenly, unloading the dishwasher isn’t just a chore — it’s 10 points toward the weekly top spot.
This isn’t about making everything a competition. It’s about making contributions visible. When effort is tracked and celebrated, people naturally do more. Studies show that gamification increases engagement by 40–60% in repetitive task contexts. Bobby puts that psychology to work for your household.
How scoring works
Harder tasks earn more points
Bobby’s point system is simple and fair: each task has a difficulty level that determines how many points it’s worth when completed.
Easy
Quick tasks that take a few minutes. Taking out the trash, wiping the counter, feeding the pet. Small effort, small reward — but they add up fast.
Medium
Tasks that take 15–30 minutes. Vacuuming, doing laundry, cooking dinner. These form the backbone of most household routines.
Hard
Bigger jobs that need real effort. Deep cleaning the bathroom, mowing the lawn, grocery shopping. More work, more points. Fair and motivating.
You set the difficulty when creating each task. Bobby takes care of the rest — calculating points, updating totals, and ranking everyone on the leaderboard.
Rankings
The podium: who’s on top?
Every shared list has its own leaderboard. See who earned the most points this week or this month — and who’s climbing the ranks.
Podium rankings
The top three contributors get gold, silver, and bronze medals. It’s a small visual reward that makes people smile — and try a little harder next week.
Weekly & monthly views
Switch between weekly and monthly leaderboards. Weekly rankings reset every Monday, giving everyone a fresh chance to compete. Monthly views show the bigger picture.
Per-list leaderboards
Each shared list has its own separate leaderboard. Compare scores within your household, your roommate group, or your team — each list is independent.
Visible contributions
No more wondering who does the most. The leaderboard makes every contribution visible, fair, and appreciated. It’s accountability without confrontation.
This week’s top
More than a game — a happier household
The leaderboard isn’t just about winning. It solves real household problems. When contributions are visible and quantified, imbalances become obvious — and fixable. The person who “never does anything” can see their score and step up. The person who “does everything” finally gets recognition.
Parents tell us their kids actually compete to do chores after installing Bobby. Roommates report fewer arguments about cleaning. Couples say the “invisible labor” issue finally has a concrete, objective answer. Points don’t lie.
And because Bobby’s tone stays positive and encouraging, nobody feels shamed. There’s no “you’re in last place” notification. Just a fun, visual way to see who’s been busy — and a gentle motivation to do your share.
Whether you’re managing a family of five, sharing a flat with friends, or just trying to stay on top of your own routines, gamification adds a layer of satisfaction to the mundane. Because every task completed is a small win — and Bobby makes sure you feel it.
