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.

Moderator edit: labels.

More than 10 would be nice - but I'm not sure unlimited would be easy for me as an individual to keep track of or compete against. Maybe 20-25 would be reasonable.

[moriahpulver]

I'm in there with the requests for more than 5 challenges at a time. Two reasons:

1) Sometimes they overlap - I want to be in a WWH with people in England or Australia but they start on Sunday afternoon while my WW is still going on. And don't even talk about the times that you have to wait for a single person to sync so you can be counted as done and able to move to a new challenge.

2) Because they each serve their own purpose. I love the daily goal challenges because it puts me in a group of friends who just need motivation to hit their goal without being competitive - but I am competitive and want to also be in a group that eggs each other on. 

I'm in 5 groups that started today - when I woke up I had 5 more invites and it hurt my heart to tell my family and friends that I was already committed. Especially since steps are just steps and can count in so many different challenges if I wasn't locked down to 5 challenges.

At my job, a large number of people have purchased FirBits to compete and that has caused several friends and family to also join. But now, since there is a limit to how many challenges, I can't compete against all my friends. Please increase the number of challenges I can be in at one time to 10 or more.

[bbooth]

One major problem is the time it takes to clear a challenge from the count...the challenge is long over, but still keeps you from entering another.

Please do away with the 5 challenge rule.   It's not fun to deny a request to join.   With lots of friends in different countries, more challenges would be fun.

[HRGal]

I must say as I start my journey to discover on how to roll out this fitness challenge that customization of start and end times would be very helpful.   I have to echo this sentiment posted on the boards here.  Fitbit is miles ahead of everyone in this area, so I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

[HighGearDani]

I love the challenges! They help keep me active! Problem is I have so many friends that want their own challenges each week. I have to be selective and that stinks! Bring us the ability to join more challenges!!! 🙂 

[Bliksempie]

Yes! This is a great idea! My suggestion was to add a "floors" challenge, however, this is better than mine. Custom challenges for most active minutes, most floors, specific days, etc., would make the challenges very useful!

[Jen45]

Why are we only allowed to join 5 challenges? I'd like to have 1500 challenges keeping me motivated, checking my app, taunting/cheering my friends!

[Herregudellen]

I hope they add this feature:)

[Chints]

My family has grown and we have gotten our extended family to join the FitBit world! We have more than 10 people for our weekly challenges. Please increase the number of participants who can join. The limit is stifling! Also, please allow custom challenges so we can create our own.

Thanks.

I have a bunch of friends, family and coworkers that have fitbits, yet we can't all do the weekly or weekend challenges because it is limited to 10. I don't really understand the rationale behind cap it to 10. Please remove the cap and have as many as possible! Or if you need a limit, maybe 50. Thanks for your consideration! 

[jacquelinebrush]

Awesome ideas. I personally want a sleep challenge lol! Or amount of stairs, that would be cool for a day too 🙂 

[Bstewart]

Yes- I requested a 7 day challenge since some people don't work M-F or save their "big" runs for the weekends. 

[Herregudellen]

I would also love to have a longer one, like a month challenge:)

Agree with others and would really like to be able to invite more than 10 people to a challenge. As Fitbit community grows this has to be an essential update, please!

[Charby89]

I have been wanting this option for over a year my friends and I do challenges all the time it would be nice to do something new

[Charby89]

I would like this too I have recruited many people to buy fitbits and I don't want to have to choose between who gets to do what challenge especially because a lot are family and want to do it together I would love it if you could have up to 50 please please please 😊

[Heman334]

Yes this needs to be done!!

[hawkcomo]

So if people have been requesting this for over a year, why hasn't it
happened? Part of the year my work week is Wednesday through Sunday and
that is when I am working with those who challenge me the most. We'd really
like to have more than a Goal Day, Work Week, and Weekend challenge to
choose from.

I started a workweek challenge with my friends and it's fantastic but with a 10 person cap and my friends also inviting people the original workweek people can't make it into the group. So if I started a college friends group and a ladies group and any other groups I get invited to, I can not only distinguish them apart but we can keep them more organized of certain set of friends! Thanks!

[BlueStang]

I want to see more challenges too! Challenges on all items measured plus an overall "fit" winner (best of all items).

[fitfamily]

I agree with removing limits to challenges--my family, from Arizona to Washington DC, is on the fitbit wagon--so far there are 13 of us with a growing number--we feel really bad not including people--Please raise or eleminate the number allowed to join a Challenge

Thx

[SunsetRunner]

I support this suggestion fullheartedly. We have a large group of friends, and I have to have multiple challenges going on and feel bad exluding others. We all motivate eachother and being able to be all together would make it more effective!

[Dansieg423]

So, I'm in constant competition with my brother in Denver for weekly steps and weekend warrior challenges. But I wish there was a way to Build your own challenges, with your own goals, and end dates or completions. Example: we are currently doing first to 250 miles. And if we had a challenge set up to track our daily mileage then we could see the daily tracker. But you could do anything from total steps in a month, or first to climb 100 stairs, or a month long challenge of steps. Let me know what you think !!!
