Challenges with more than 10 people

[stuntmann1]

Is there a reason that challenges are limited to 10 people?  Challenges are awesome motivation for my friends and I, and are the reason that more of my friends are beginning to buy fitbits. However, now we can't fit everyone into the same challenge and it is becoming very confusing.  I understand I could create a monthly challenge through this website with more people, but that isn't the same as quickly checking the progress on my phone and getting notifications.

It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community @stuntmann1. Many users have requested having an option to join more than 10 people per challenge. You might want to participate in the discussion that has been reviewed by moderators here. Hopefully we get more challenge options in the near future. Once any update is available it will be communicated as soon as possible.

Hope to see you around more often.

How do we set up a monthly challenge?

[Kandicet]

I would love love to see Fitbit challenges allow more than 10 people! We always have multiple challenges going since we can't fit everyone in one, especially because more and more people are joining! I hope this changes soon!

Welcome to the Community @Kandicet @dlnw52. I would like to have this option available too. Currently we have only 4 options to participate in challenges. It would be great having more options. Crossed fingers.

Catch you later.

Is there any update on this? The link you sent me to is just people complaining because no action has been taken. Also why do you guys only have an option to mark a post as an accepted solution? I can literally only say you "helped me" or not answer at all, and that doesn't seem right to me.

@stuntmann1 There is still no update about this request. Hopefully we get great news for you soon.

If you would like other button options about the help provided by a moderator, it could be a good idea placing a suggestion in the Feature Request board. Thank you for helping to improve the Fitbit experience.

Keep up the super stepping.

Being a coder myslef, i cant fathom why they would have a cap of 10 people on a challenge... its very short sighted to have this limit more than a ear after launch... goes to show... ppl making decisions are not always smart...

Bet has do with limiting data storage. Should offer FitBit Pro for additional cost with larger group challenges, more challenge options and other upgrade options.

Hello, I've been checking this thread for a while now for an update. I too would like to request the cap of 10 people be removed. Competitions are the reason I use fitbit vs another brand and the 10 person limit means a lot of my friends can't play. Please move this up your development road map.

I'm wondering  the same thing!I  I can't fit everyone in on the challenge and end up doing a couple of challenges, so everyone can be included.  I would love for the fitbit team to consider changing the amount of people being able to the challenge... No one wants to see "the challenge is full"

[Ggggggggggg]

when will this issue be resolved?  I need more than ten people to be able to participate in the same challenge.

its 2017 and still waiting for the update to have more than 10 people in a challenge!! kind of killing it. i doubt they care.

Hello Fitbit developers. For over two years people here have been asking for you to allow us to invite more than ten people to a challenge, and to allow/create challenges of longer duration.
42 pages later I cannot see any responses, nor any changes to the WEW / WWC formats.
Could you kindly give us some feedback please ?

They are too busy raking in the money to care about their users requests.

[MaphyC]

 This is not a solution. It's just saying that in the future we may have a solution. I hope fitbit will upgrade so we can have more than 10 people in a challenge. Only 10 people is  limiting healthy competition.  I have gotten a total of eight family members and friends  to buy fitbit product so we can do challenges together.  Now we are up to 15 people and all cannot fit in one challenge.  Fitbit please fix this.  Please and thank you.

How many years have we got to wait for more than 10 users in a group please answer why ..or are fitbit living in the era of old software not costing anything . You make money do something for your millions of users 

[TB5918]

This has not been solved. It has been reviewed rejected and ignored by the Fitbit staff, because they could honestly care less about their customers when it comes to growing and expanding the Fitbit software.

Prove me wrong, Fitbit staff. I'm confident you never will.

I just don’t understand after all these years of asking (for what seems a relatively simple change) to have more than 10 people in a challenge??? I have 90 friends and tired of only a few getting to be involved in a weekly challenge!!

If you’re trying to motivate people to fitness you’re failing!! Hire some software engineers who know what they’re doing for a change!!
