Runner-up and proud

Mom has a favorite.
Make it awkward.

You don't have to do it all. Just do your bit. Claim a task, give your sibling a break, and make a wildly unnecessary bid for second place.

Make my campaign debutNo speeches required

Three cartoon siblings on a second-place podium: one hoisting groceries, one hugging a tablet, one clutching a ribbon

“I'm not competitive.” — everyone

★ All the help. Some of the glory.★ Second is a lifestyle.★ A little rivalry. A lot of love.★ Your campaign could use fewer speeches and more groceries.★ All the help.

The Rivera Family Board

Family goal: get Mom & Dad through the week0/3 done

Play as:

Tim

Meg

I got this

open
Sit with Mom so Meg can attend her own dentist appointment
Thursday, 1–3pm. Bring the crossword. Mom wins, always.
open
Handle this week's groceries, including checking what's needed
Peek in the pantry and fridge before shopping. Yes, actually look.
open
Help Dad reconnect his tablet for video calls
It 'stopped working.' It is probably the Wi‑Fi. It is always the Wi‑Fi.

Who's winning? (optional)

Jo0 pts
Tim0 pts
Meg0 pts

Each finished task earns 10 points, once. Claiming earns zero; backup requests are penalty-free. Undo removes its points and badges; reset clears all awards. Points recognize pitching in, not love or worth.

Groceries earn Grocery Royalty; Dad's tablet earns Tech Support, Apparently; sitting with Mom earns Clutch Sibling. Two finished tasks also earn Suspiciously Responsible.

Just saying

Quiet in here. Suspiciously quiet. Claim something.

Same page

Handoff notes show up once someone claims a task.

Demo only. Nothing here notifies anyone, creates an account, or leaves your browser.

The actual point

All trash talk aside: if one of you is carrying too much, say so. Asking for help is part of the game, never a penalty.

Some days you carry the groceries. Some days someone carries you. Both belong here.

Every claimed task has an “I need backup” button. It never costs points, and nobody gets called out for saying “not this week.”

Find the backup button

Wear your ranking.

Concepts only — we're checking if anyone wants these before making them.
