Common questions
FAQ and support
What the app does, how rewards work and what parents control.
What is Awenwood? Is it a chore app?
Yes. Awenwood is a family app for organizing chores, reviewing finished work and choosing rewards together. Children have their own list and an illustrated Village that grows with approved tasks.
What does my child do, and what do I control?
Your child checks My Day and sends you their finished tasks. You choose the tasks, timing, point values and rewards. You approve the work or return it with a note.
What do Quest, Sparks and Wish mean?
A Quest is a task. Sparks are points awarded after your approval. A Wish is a reward or goal chosen by your family.
What is the Village? Who is Meli?
The Village is your child’s illustrated world. Approved tasks help it grow. Meli is the character who guides your child toward what they can do next.
Is the app available in French?
Yes. Awenwood supports Canadian French and English.
Can I choose how many Sparks a chore is worth?
Yes. The parent chooses the Spark value when creating the chore, called a Quest in Awenwood.
Does my child receive rewards automatically?
No. You review a completed Quest before its Sparks are awarded. Your child can then request a Wish using saved Sparks; you review that request too. Your family chooses and provides the real-world reward.
Can I send a chore back if it is not finished properly?
Yes. Return it with clear guidance so your child can try again.
Can chores repeat on a schedule?
Yes. Free includes morning, after-school and bedtime routines, with start times and controls to pause routines or individual steps. Premium adds custom routines and more detailed weekday schedules.
Can more than one parent manage the family?
Yes. Premium supports multiple Hearthkeepers. Public purchases are not available yet.
Can I use Awenwood with more than one child?
Yes. Premium supports multiple Young Villagers. Free includes one active child.
What can Sparks be used for?
Children save Sparks toward Wishes: privileges, activities, treats, or other rewards your family defines together.
Does spending Sparks erase Village progress?
No. Village Growth is lasting visual progress from approved chores and never decreases when Sparks are spent.
Does Awenwood contain ads?
No. Awenwood has no ads or behavioural advertising.
Can children communicate with strangers?
No. There are no public profiles, stranger discovery, or open conversations.
What does the free version include?
One active parent and child, five active custom Quests and three built-in routines. Their 12 starter steps do not count toward the Quest limit. Rewards, the Village and all four Book One chapters are included. Compare plans.
What does Premium add?
More parents and children, unlimited active custom Quests, custom routines, advanced schedules and extra appearance options. See planned pricing.
What happens if my family returns to Free?
Your existing family data and progress are kept. Free limits apply to creating additional content and using Premium-only features. Returning to Free does not erase your family or its Sparks, Wishes and stories.
Can I purchase Premium now?
Not yet. Billing isn’t enabled yet. See the Pricing page for the planned Canadian launch prices.
Does Awenwood work offline?
Some previously loaded family activities remain usable offline, but setup, fresh updates and certain shared actions need Internet. In a connected family, moving or storing Village decorations needs an online confirmation. If a change fails, the last confirmed placement is kept: reconnect, refresh and retry manually. Not every action is queued automatically.
How do I delete my account or a child profile?
Use Awenwood’s protected family-management controls or follow the verified steps on the Delete Account page.
Is Awenwood available outside Canada?
The initial public release is planned for Canada. No wider release date is promised.
What is the Storybook?
Three books, twelve chapters and 103 illustrated pages follow familiar Village friends through little mysteries and discoveries. Read in English or Canadian French, with Gentle, Growing and Confident presentations for different reading needs. Reading does not award Sparks. All four Book One chapters are included with Free. How chapters become available.
Can my child customize the Village?
Yes. Children can move and store many Village objects. For a connected family, these changes need Internet and confirmation before they take effect. Approved Quests grow the Village; spending Sparks does not reduce that growth.
Who controls portraits and seasonal themes?
Parents choose portraits and automatic or manual seasons. Children arrange Village objects without changing the global theme.
Is Founding Edition a subscription?
No. It is planned as a one-time purchase for Premium: one payment, with no monthly or annual Founding Edition fees. Purchases are not available yet.
How do private family letters work?
An authorized Hearthkeeper can send a short private letter to one Young Villager in the same Huddle. Children reply using five approved choices, not unrestricted text. Authorized Hearthkeepers can supervise the correspondence; children see only their own exchanges. Letters have no attachments or external recipients. Read our Privacy Policy before including personal information.
Can children send letters to each other?
Only when a Hearthkeeper enables this for the selected children in the same Huddle. They choose from five preset messages, without free text, attachments or outside contacts. Hearthkeepers can read the correspondence and reports and pause access. Children can block a sibling or report an unwanted letter. Reporting also blocks new letters from that sibling. A queued letter remains subject to the current parent settings when it reaches the server. If a letter feels unkind or unwanted, tell your Hearthkeeper. Families can use the existing support pathway for further help.

Guidance and play
Can I replay Meli’s tour?
Go at your own pace: continue, go back, pause or skip. Replay the tour from Settings or Ask Meli. Meli uses written guidance—not generative AI or a chatbot.
Do mini-games or stories award Sparks?
No. Mini-games and stories do not award Sparks. A parent approves completed Quests before their Sparks are awarded. These activities are optional and remain separate from Quest rewards and Village Growth.
See the gamesCan my child use Awenwood before they can read independently?
Yes, many child activities use pictures and visual prompts. For Storybook reading and initial setup, an adult can read or help. Reading options let families choose the level of detail that suits the child.
Is Awenwood publicly available?
Not yet. The Android app is not yet publicly released on Google Play.
