Hidden, "blind" or secret challenges

[Ohio-Bob]

My friends and I would like to have "blind" challenges available.
A group of us just returned from a cruise and we did not take cell phones.  Ten of us created a workweek hustle and boarded the ship Monday morning, fitbits attached but cell phone free.  All week we walked the ship not knowing where we ranked but not wanting to be shown up.  It was great fun, and when we docked all ten had walked way more than normal.  Our numbers were huge, and we want to do our challenges blindly more often.
Please give us the option to set a challenge up where the numbers don't post until the last day, maybe with a few hours to go.

I think steps should be hidden for last hour to make it more competitive. I find myself losing because my challengers know how many steps to beat me after I go to sleep

While I can understand the appeal of this feature, until then you may accomplish the same thing by:

• Turning off notifications from your challenges.
• Logging out of the Fitbit App for the duration.

Yes we talked about that a bit.  But it's very difficult not to sneak a look during the week.  It was really fun on Friday to finally all see where we stood!

This should be really easy to implement: Start the Fitbit app, choose one of the challenges available and get a step count "blind" or "visible" toggle switch to select. It should't take long time to implement for the Fitbit team so I do hope they would consider this.

It would be cool not know knowing what's the score to beat. It will encourage all users to continue moving no matter what. It sounds very fun, hopefully this will be implemented in the future, so let's keep voting!

How about just showing where everyone is at without any actual numbers. So you can see if you're first, or last but you won't know by how much until the challenge has ended.

Add my vote to bind challenge

Great idea! We're on the same page for sure. Please check out one of my feature suggestions too: Weekly Mystery Challenges. Vote for it if you like it. Thanks!

Give an option for 'Secret Mode' in all challenges, so other challengers cannot see you progress until the end of the challenge.

We all have that annoying friend who waits until late at night and then just beats your score by a few hundred steps right? Well if they can't see your progress they'll have no idea if they're beating you or not, and they'll just have to do as much as they can to ensure they've done more than you! Should encourage people to do more steps than normal rather than the bare minimum to win.
