"Getting kids to do their chores is at the top of any parent's to-do list, while playing fun, interactive games on their computer or mobile device is what the kids care about," said Chris Bergman, co-founder and CEO. "With ChoreMonster, the wishes of both parents and their children can be fulfilled."
ChoreMonster conducted beta testing in more than 21,000 households in 50 countries. More than 300,000 chores were completed during the testing phase. The Web site is now open to the public and the app is available on iTunes.
