Make it a quest instead of a reminder
Instead of repeating the instruction, start with a tiny story. In Mess Monsters this routine opens like this: “Toy Titan mixed up all the toys. Shall we put them back in their homes?”
You stay the game master. Your child does the real step, you confirm it on your phone, and Toy Titan gets a little happier with every step. The phone stays with the adult; the routine happens in the real world.
Run this routine in Mess Monsters
This routine is part of Mess Monsters Premium. The core routines are free. You can also make your own quest by describing the routine in your own words.
