A Hillock app

For families

A pixel-art game that gets kids doing their chores. Kids from about 6 to 14 tick off real chores at home, earn stars, and spend their play time in a valley of their own.

Hollow Grove on a phone: the family treehouse, with each kid's character at home.

How it works

Parents set the chores, rewards and daily play limits behind a PIN. The game has no ads, and kids can't buy anything in it. Free during the pilot, then a paid subscription with a free trial.

  1. You add the chores, how many stars each one earns, and the rewards stars can buy.
  2. Each kid ticks off their chores on any phone or tablet in the house.
  3. Kids ask for a reward when they've saved enough stars, and you approve it.
  4. Brothers and sisters can play together at the same time on their own devices.

Safety and privacy

Kids can't type messages to anyone, and they only play with another family after a parent from each family says yes.
