Get Fit Bingo boards

[Zzub]

Hi. Our family have started doing bingo challenges and we’ve noticed the boards we have differ. They appear to scale to recent amount of activity and this week there are really vig differences. This kind of ruins the competition for us. Could you add an option to set the same approximate amount of activities for all participants?

@Zzub A warm welcome to the Fitbit Community. I appreciate the details mentioned. 

In Get Fit Bingo, everyone starts with a bingo board and a pattern to aim for. The goal is to flip the bingo tiles until you form the winning pattern. To flip a tile, complete the goal on the tile. Your goal is to hit Bingo as fast as you can. The more active you are, the more tiles  you can flip. Choose wisely, once you flip a tile, you can't change your mind. 

All of the Get Fit Bingo Challenge participants should be seeing the same boards. If this happening, please attach a screenshot  of the data you're seeing to your next reply. 

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

I do a lot of Bingo challenges and I know there are HUGE differences between boards (same tile pattern, different mileage).  I understand that this is an attempt to level the playing field, but the "penalty" for having a high average step count is out of proportion!!  I know this is true because some of the same players who are way way ahead in Bingo are doing step challenges with me and are always way behind in steps.  Maybe this is intentional by Fitbit to encourage those who don't do many steps to join Premium, but I've seen a lot of comments by more active members who are boycotting Bingo because it's unfair and makes it not enjoyable. Seems like they need to work on the algorithm!!

I like the idea of leveling the playing field some... but it is frustrating to be flipping tiles more slowly than someone I’m 25,000 steps ahead of in the weekly challenge. On the other hand  it’s motivating... but Also frustrating.
