Your life, the role-playing game.

Habitica is a cross between a task management site and a role-playing game, where tasks are completed through doing positive habits and refraining from negative habits. Like in many role-playing games, there are levels, stats, and gold. You can spend gold on new equipment with stat benefits. There also are gems, which can be spent on clothing that have no stat benefits. Or you can create you own custom Real Life rewards for completing tasks.

In Habitica, you can have Habits, which can damage you or give you experience. You can also have Dailies and To-Dos, which you can check off to gain experience. Dailies damage you if left unchecked.

You can also join guilds, create a party, or fight boss monsters.

Examples:

• Adventure Guild: There are several guilds you can join. You can even create your own.
• Anachronism Stew: The world of Habitica contains modern-day things (like plastic scissors), but the majority of the world is set in the Middle Ages.

• And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: You can use gems to buy backgrounds for your avatar.
• Aquatic Mook: Your avatar can be this if you equip them with scuba gear.

• BFS: The Crystal Blade sword is considerably bigger than normal swords.
• Big Bad: Vice, the Shadow Wyrm is this. He could arguably be the Final Boss, but you can repeat the quest multiple times.

• Bows Versus Crossbows: Avatars can use either.

• Climactic Volcano Backdrop: One of the backgrounds you can purchase for your avatar is of a volcano.
• Continuing is Painful: If you die, you lose a level, all of your gold, and a random piece of equipment - which can be frustrating if you have accumulated thousands of gold. However, you can manually change your gold through the site settings.
• Cool Crown: There are several crown designs, including the Royal Crown, the Soothing Lunar Crown and the Snow Sovereign Crown.

• Cool Sword: There's an assortment of fancy swords for warriors and rogues to unlock.
• Dark Is Not Evil: The Shade pets and mounts, despite being Red and Black and Evil All Over, are no different from their other Palette Swaps.

• Difficult, but Awesome: The Mage class is easily the most frail out of the classes, but their high Intelligence makes it very easy to gain experience and level up, and they have some of the best Skills in the game. If you're structured in your routine and never miss a single Daily, you'll have plenty of Mana to spend.
• Equipment-Based Progression: Although you can level up, you can increase your avatar's stats by vast amounts using equipment.
• Everything's Better with Rainbows: There's several rainbow-themed equipment sets, including the Rainbow Warrior and the Rougish Rainbow Messanger.

• Fighter, Mage, Thief: Users have a choice between these three classes, plus the healer.

• Flaming Hair: You can buy fire hair for your avatar.

• Freemium: Although Habitica is free to use, there are some items you can't purchase without gems, which cost real money.

• Gold-Colored Superiority / Gold Makes Everything Shiny: The higher-tier warrior items are gold-themed. And the Golden Staff for mages.

• Healing Potion: There's a healing potion you can purchase with gold.

• Hit Points: There's a red hit points bar.

• Horny Vikings: There is an armouire viking outfit set that averts the horned helmet design by making the helmet historically-acurate. Zig-zagged since there are other warrior helmets that have horns.
• Horse of a Different Color: Avatars have a wide range of different mounts they can ride.

• In-Series Nickname: Users and characters in Habitica are referred to as Habiticans.

• Katanas Are Just Better: Rogues can unlock katanas.

• Lazy Bum: Since Habitica is a productivity app, many of the antagonists are the personification of sloth.
• Level-Up Fill-Up: Leveling up fully heals you.
• Little Bit Beastly: The animal ears and custom skins you can purchase.

• Magic Staff: Mages and healers get an assortment of staffs to unlock.

• Matryoshka Object: The plain egg... hatches into an egg.

• Mundane Made Awesome: Habitica's goal is to help people complete their goals by gamifying their tasks, making those task feel more fun and exciting.
