Customizable Challenges (like start date, duration etc)

[Cheddarbill]

I would like to be able to set which days I want for a challenge. Not all of my friends work a workweek (Mon-Fri). I would like to be able to make a challenge thats like Thurs-Sun or Mon-Wed-Fri. Or whatever days my friends work during that week. Choose teams and partners.

Can we please have more freedom on creating our own challenges and be able to invite more than 10 people? For instance I would like to use fun names for my challenges. And I would want to create different challenges such as who completes so many steps soonest or such. They shouldnt be only limited to work week, weekend, or daily time frames. We should have a little more freedom for creativity.  Thank you

Yes, I want way more challenge options as well.

1.  Mile challenge -- most per day, goal per day, most per week

2.  Calorie challenge -- most per day, goal per day, most per week

3.  Active minute challenge -- most per day, goal per day, most per week

4.  Floor challenge -- most per day, goal per day, most per week

5.  Exercise challenge -- goal per week, most per month

6.  Sleep challenge -- goal per day, meets the most goal per week

7.  250 per hour challenge -- meets most hours per day, meets goal, meets most per week

8.  Pounds lost -- most per week, custom most per specified time period

9.  Water challenge - meets goal per day, week

10.  Custom challenge -- create any challenge you want (from any feature fitbit tracks) for any time period

I agree. I would like more challenge options.

[secoleman]

Such a good idea... I'm a hockey goalie I don't step much but I train a few times a week and play matches and the intensity level is high I just don't step... 

I think we should have options to do challenges based on all criteria, steps dont mean you're fit and active 

[bearsbubba]

I would love to be able to do my own challenges with friends outside of the ones already within the app. 

[Kc2fht]

Great idea.  Need more versitility

[mjgagne]

Hi. I think it would be a great idea to have a 7 day challenge or a customizable one. Even having the option of choosing things like first to 100,000 steps challenge, or be able to have a month long one, or even one to do with workouts. 

Thanks 🙂

Try Stridekick, it works with your Fitbit or various other trackers. When you've downloaded the app and joined you can make your own challenges up.  Just make sure you sync to Fitbit before opening the Stridekick app.

Your challenges can last anywhere up to 31 days & you can choose which style of challenges you want as in target number of steps, a trail (so many miles) and there are a couple of others that you can choose from

Yes flights of stairs, minutes in a spasific hr zone, least hours of sleep
would be funny? Calories all sorts of things. I hope The s are read by
the dev team.

[SunsetRunner]

A feature that allows us to challenge our friends for 30day steps for example. Or whatever we may decide. Please vote on this idea to make it happen.

[Lueck767]

I'm all for custom challenges.

[hottpepper]

Additional options for custom challenges could include not only "step" challenges but calorie burn or active minute challenges.

[AlejandraFitbit]

Hello, I think it would be awesome to have an option to create your own challenges and be able to invite your friends. Thanks for sharing such a great idea.

[AlikiT]

Looking to do a month-long challenge starting 4/1 with coworkers.  Does this challenge exist?  If not, it would be great if a custom option was available.  Also, why are only Sunday and Monday the only options to start the week?  Would like to be able to start on Saturday, 4/1.

[ReiTheQ]

I agree that at least as a start, the number of default challenges should extend to challenges based on the other types of data that more advanced FitBits record like active minutes & calories burned.  FitBit users exercise in many more ways than just walking (biking, elliptical, boxing, rowing, etc.), but we currently have no way to turn that into a fun challenge with friends. 

The nice thing about this is that you don't have to create a bunch of new default challenges.  You can focus your development on a single Custom Challenge where users can:

1) Choose the time & date when the challenge starts & ends - you could start with pre-programed time ranges like 1 day, 1 week, etc.

2) Choose a single data type to compete on - you can start with steps and active minutes and grow the selection from there.

Eventually this single Custom Challenge can replace all default challenges since it can allow the user to set up anything they want.

Hello

I wish fitbit would have more general global challenges.  I live in Canada and there aren't any that I can see near me.  Also it would be really cool if we could personalize the challenge, have a weekly challenge of 7 days with friends for example.  Would also like if i could invent my own challenges with friends, that could be recorded with the device. 

[Sudio]

I would like to see new challenges. How bout a whole week instead of just work week. Also would love longer term ones. A whole month would be great. Happy to have the option of more than 5 challenges opened up. Thanks for doing that!

[JohnnyBgood1]

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 ?

[robboj21]

Definitely agree with this. The challenges are getting quite boring as they have barely changed since I first downloaded the app. Time to refresh the app guys!

It would also be great if the location challenges related more to where the user lives, e.g. Australia.

[jsail4fun]

I challenged my wife to a race across America. I set up a multi leg race starting with a simple 20 mile race to the local mall. The first person to log 20 miles wins $100 to spend at the mall.  I want to be able to have the app keep score.

Request: Set a challenge by distance, PA minutes, Sleep time, Total Steps, etc. Invite people to that challenge. Have the app keep score.

Bonus: Advanced scoring options, for example I award .05 miles per minute of PA. 

[UnmRaouf]

Lots of comments here, so it might have already been suggested a thousand times but we would like to be able to send pictures in the challenge chat.

Also it would be great if more than 10 people could participate a challenge.

More importantly, and very motivational it would be, if challenges could also be based of active minutes or stairs even, not just steps.

Thank you!
