Chore Roulette: Let the Wheel Pick Your Next Task (When You’d Rather Not)

You know the feeling: the list is right there on the Choreboard, every tile honest about what still needs doing—and your brain offers fourteen equally valid reasons to check the mail first. Chorish is not here to shame anyone for that. Sometimes you just need something else to break the tie. That is where Chore roulette comes in: a friendly spin of the wheel that picks one incomplete chore from whatever you are looking at right now, so you can stop negotiating with yourself and start moving.

What Chore roulette actually does

Open it from the dashboard when you have chores left to do. You will see a colorful wheel with a little pointer at the top and a Tap to spin invitation in the center. Tap, watch it whirl, and whichever slice lands under the pointer is your nudge for the next few minutes. The wheel only pulls from chores that are still undone in your current view—same list you are already working from—so the suggestion is always real and ready to tap.

Ready to spin: each leftover chore gets a slice, names around the rim, pointer at the top.

After the spin, a mini preview card shows the chore Chorish picked. The center of the wheel matches the winner too. Tap Open to jump straight into the full chore details.

After the spin: the pick appears on the card and in the hub—then you can spin again or open the chore.

Why we added it

The Choreboard already makes progress visible for the whole household. Daily games (Quick Quiz, Emoji Riddle, Memory Flip, Word Scramble, Spot the Difference) add a spark after a chore. Chore roulette is another small tool in the same spirit: lower the friction of starting, add a grin where “I guess I’ll do the towels” used to live, and keep everything private in the browser on your device—the same Chorish story you already know.

Pair this with a tidier Manage home grid if you have not refreshed that screen lately, or celebrate bigger wins with Certificates of Recognition when someone deserves paper proof. Prefer a tiny focus toy while you think? The fidget widget is still there for idle thumbs.

Give it a spin

Next time the list looks back at you and you look back at the list, open Chorish, leave a few chores undone on purpose (we will not tell), and try Chore roulette. Let the wheel break the tie—then tap Open, do the thing, and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of not having to be the one who chose. For how homes, games, and resets fit together, the FAQ has the full tour. May your next spin land on something you can finish before the kettle boils.
