# Your first quest tonight: one task, one reward

> A quick first-quest walkthrough using five books on a shelf, parent approval and XP toward a reward your family chooses.

You can start with one small task and one reward your family agrees on. The video shows the flow using books on a shelf.

Illustrative app screens with fictional data; captured from development widgets. This is not a recording of a family transaction.

## Set up a first try

1. Choose one task that fits your child today. The example is five books back on one shelf.
2. Agree where “done” is and which family reward XP will go toward.
3. Let the child do the task and tap “I did it!”
4. Check together, approve, and decide whether the task size worked.
