Tasks, rewards and the two views

How Awenwood works

Choose Quests, review your child’s effort and celebrate with family-chosen rewards.

Quests → Parent Approval → Sparks → Family Wishes

Separate parent and child views

For parents

Create tasks, review completed work, choose rewards and keep track of family progress.

Meli guides a Young Villager through My Day — demonstration data

Today puts approvals, connected devices and quick actions within reach. Use Questbook and Wishbook to manage tasks and family-chosen rewards; Family brings member and device controls together. Help stays available without taking over.

Awenwood’s names, explained

A Quest is a task, Sparks are earned points, and a Wish is a family-chosen reward. Parents are Hearthkeepers; children are Young Villagers.

From tasks to rewards in three steps

Set a Quest
Choose a task, a schedule and the Sparks it can earn.
Check it off
Your child marks it done; you review and approve the effort.
Make a Wish
They save Sparks for rewards your family chooses. Approved Quests also help their Village grow.

Routines for everyday life

Free includes morning, after-school and bedtime routines. Premium adds custom routines and advanced schedules.

Family tools, easy to find

Set up your family

Create your family space (Huddle) as a parent (Hearthkeeper), add your child and set up your parent PIN. For another device, create an invitation in Devices, open its QR code, link or code on the other device, then approve the request as a parent. Use the existing family rather than creating a second one. Additional parents and children require Premium.

Together across your devices

A parent approves which devices join your family. A Family Big Wish lets everyone work toward a shared reward.

Questions about devices and plans

Switch from the parent view to your selected child without signing out. Returning to parent controls still requires adult authorization.

Approved Quests help the Village grow

Your child can place earned objects, move them directly around the Village and put them away for later. More decorations become available as approved Quests build lasting progress—not through time spent on screen. Spending Sparks never reduces Village Growth.

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.

Short things to discover and help with

Sometimes there’s a resident doing something new, a seasonal moment or a short activity to discover. These visits are optional; progress still comes from real-world tasks you approve.

A resident may invite your child to choose, find or arrange something. Each activity has an end: no timer, no score and no extra Sparks. They are never required for progress. Some moments bring several residents together or recall a Storybook discovery.

Some moments stay with the Village

The Memory Book keeps selected milestones—such as a first Wish, a story discovery or a shared Village moment—to look back on together.

Stories to discover together

Follow Awenwood’s familiar Village friends through little mysteries, playful adventures and illustrated stories. Choose a reading presentation that suits your child and discover the chapters together.

Book One unfolds through Quest and Village progress. Book Two begins after Book One’s ending is acknowledged; each later chapter becomes discoverable three days after the previous one was discovered. Book Three begins after the last chapter of Book Two is read, then continues as each previous chapter is read, without another waiting period.

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.
