Every relative you add earns points
Building your family tree shouldn’t feel like homework. Add a cousin, upload an old photo, record a grandparent’s story — each one scores points, climbs your rank, and nudges the family leaderboard. The tree fills itself when everyone’s playing.
No prizes to chase, no money involved — just the friendly pull of a scoreboard that makes families finish what they start.
How you score
Points for every contribution
The tree grows richer with every action — and every action counts.
Add a relative
+10Every new person on the tree — a cousin, an in-law, a great-grandparent you never met.
Add a photo
+15Put a face to a name. Old black-and-white ones score just the same.
Fill in a detail
+5A birthday, a village, a wedding date — the small facts that make a tree real.
Record a story
+25A voice memory in an elder’s own words is worth the most — because it is.
Confirm or fix a detail
+5Spot a wrong date or a misspelt name? Keeping the tree honest earns points too.
Invite a relative who joins
+50The biggest score of all — because a second pair of hands doubles the tree.
Climb the ranks
From Seedling to Great Banyan
Your points add up to a rank the whole family can see. The keepers of the roots earn their title.
Seedling
0 pts
Everyone starts here — a name and a spark.
Sapling
100 pts
A branch or two, and the habit has taken root.
Young Tree
500 pts
Growing fast — faces, dates and the first stories fill in.
Deep Roots
1,500 pts
Whole branches filled in — the family leans on you.
Great Banyan
5,000 pts
The tree the whole family shelters under. Every family has one.
The family leaderboard
A little friendly competition
See who’s added the most this week and all-time — just your family, no strangers. Nothing lights a fire under an uncle like his niece passing him on the board. The tree is the real winner.
Keep it going
Build a streak, week after week
Add just one thing a week and your streak grows. Miss a week and it resets — a gentle nudge to keep the memories coming while the elders are still here to share them.
Why points
Because a family tree is a team sport
Most family trees stall at a dozen names — one person loses steam and it goes quiet. Points turn it into something everyone chips into: a cousin adds her branch, an uncle names the old photos, the kids chase the leaderboard. What felt like a chore becomes the thing the family does together.
