We are parents of school-age children. We are parents of gamers. We have felt the conflict of our kids’ in-game purchase wants in our households. $2.99 here, $5.99 there… every month, every week, sometimes every day. “Mom, please!!!”

If you give in, you feel guilty afterward. “Am I giving them too much without making them earn it?”

Or you do not give in. “I said, no!” And so, the pouting starts. Sad faces, maybe even screaming. Conflict.

IQ Unlock, LLC created IQU, a unique family app that fosters more positive, productive interactions between parents and gamers. Through academic quizzes and mindfulness exercises, children can unlock rewards, including digital gift cards for gaming, entertainment, or apparel, as well as cash rewards they can accumulate and settle with their parents at home. Pass an individualized, grade-appropriate quiz and earn rewards. It’s that easy! 

Do you want your kids to have a much-needed time out to reset? Send them a Mindfulness guided meditation before they hop into their gaming time.

Designed in collaboration with parents and children, IQU is a unique tool that bridges the gap between parents and gamers.
