What is KidBugz?
KidBugz helps anyone who interacts with kids provide guidance and feedback to them in a fun and engaging way. Much like a ticket tracking system for software, the application is a ticket tracker for kids that makes it easy for them to understand what is expected of them. The end result is as simple as it gets: a single score that tells kids how they are doing when it comes to meeting those expectations.
Problem
Parents and caregivers struggle to provide guidance and feedback to kids in a non-engaging way, relying on inconsistent verbal reminders or manual tracking methods that lack motivation and clarity.
Solution
A gamified task-tracking app where users (e.g., parents, teachers) create customizable "tickets" for kids to complete tasks, track progress via a score system, and incentivize positive behavior through playful engagement.
Customers
Parents, guardians, teachers, and caregivers of children aged 3–12 who seek structured, fun methods to manage behavior and responsibilities.
Unique Features
Combines ticket-tracking (similar to software bug systems) with gamification, transforming behavioral guidance into a kid-friendly game with visual progress scores.
